I glanced at Marcello in the corner of the room and beckoned him over.
He did his tic tac toe walk as he approached me and stopped a few feet away from the desk.
"Your majesty?"
"Is Hendrix still insisting on having more staff?"
"Yes,your highness."
I groaned and sent him back to his position.
My eyes roamed the room carefully and
I got up.It seems like I have to fulfill his needs.In addition to lying that I will suddenly stop this plan of revenge.Now I have to treat him like a king although he is just a banished man.
I am tired of pretending,of halting my plans while there is a raging war at my door steps.
I seriously am.
I can't now live my life without wondering if it pleases him or not.
