Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (28)

It was time for Aaviren to turn the last corner. Still and all, he didn't his focus wane for a moment. As a matter of fact, he even heightened his senses. 

If he let his guard down for a moment, it might cost them to lose the trust of the members of the clan.

'Ius' room is right around the corner. However, if he's not there, we'll have to make another trip. His office is on the other side of this floor.'

As he was about to take a step, bringing him to the opening of the last corridor, Aaviren ceased his steps all of a sudden. His heart began pounding an ominous melody, his breathing stopping. 

'What… There's someone.' Aaviren thought, 'And it's not Ius. It's someone…'

The young man bit his lip and contemplated. Although it wasn't new to encounter someone along the corridors, this time, it was someone who Aaviren didn't know how to deal with.
