Bruno Meets The King

Emilia reached out to the guard's hand and stepped down from the carriage. 

Finding Bruno's house seemed to be pretty easy. His description had been precise enough. Eve climbed down after Emilia and walked with her towards the house. A good number of people had gathered a few feet away, whispering amongst themselves. 

'What could have happened? '

'Did anyone commit an offense against the royals?'

The guard walked ahead of them and reached the door.  Emilia was standing right behind the guard, so it was going to be hard to see her. The guard knocked on the door and it swung open almost immediately. Bruno appeared in the doorway.

"Good day, sir," he greeted, his voice quivering.

"The king requests to see you."

"Huh? Have I done something wrong?," Bruno's voice quivered with fear.

"I am not disposed to share any information with you," the guard replied. "You won't be harmed at all."
