Chapter Twenty-two (7)

"Official Ghuil arrives!" A lanky grey man walked in and stood before Prince Thelmus. He neither bowed nor showed respect for the person sitting on the throne. This angered Prince Thelmus greatly.

"You stand before me, yet refuse to bow?" he scolded the old man.

"You don't sit on the throne well. Forgive me for not recognizing your greatness." Official Ghuil apologized, but he did not still bow.

"If my memory serves me right, you are sworn to my mother, Official Ghuil." Prince Thelmus said.

"Your mother was a wise woman; this trait must have not been graced you at birth. You are but an impatient boy. That throne, does it feel as you thought it would?" he asked Prince Thelmus.

"So, you have come to mock me"

"Mock? To use that word, you must have acknowledged that you have failed."

"Failed? I just took the kingdom. I have only started." Prince Thelmus scuffed.
