"My lord. The king's entourage had come requesting an audience with you". So he says.
"Is that so!".
There was no reason to be surprised. It was going to happen sooner or later.
"Where are they now".
Mikeal had no preparation to do. He was all ready as he was and willing to follow.
"They left already when you were not around. They said they would come back to pick you up".
"Ha!". He scoffed.
"How long did they have to wait before they returned". He asked before trying to make a hasty judgment.
"They didn't. They just left and said they would return the moment I told them you were not around".
Even petty messengers are looking down on him. Every one of them is testing his temper to see how far he is willing to go.
What was to stop them from waiting?! Normal royal etiquette dictates that they wait while they send one of them back to report the situation.
