"Here I am King Alaric," Elias said, bowing slightly to the throne
King Alaric was sitting lackluster on his throne, tracing his fingers on the detailed patterns carved on the armrest of his throne, and the Queen; Seraphina sat beside him, as graceful and dignified as ever, staring holes into Elias with an expression that boldly spelled out her dissatisfaction.
King Alaric adjusted himself in his seat as soon as he noticed Elias' presence,
"Elias Ashdown, where have you been? I have had my soldiers on the lookout for you. I thought you might have run away boy, scared of your own challenge" He spoke with an underlying mocking tone
'I guess there's no need for him to act nice and polite anymore. In his mind, he has me where he wants…just a few more days till he realizes'
"I simply went sightseeing King Alaric, your kingdom is nice on the eyes. You are a truly dutiful king" Elias remarked
