Bk 2: chapter two (6)

Lucy sat before a crackling fire in her chambers, a cup of tea growing cold beside her. A knock came from outside and she called the person in. Walter close the door behind himself and approached her.

"You called for me." he said after a bow.

"Sit." she said and he did as told.

"What you gained from the emperor's shed, can you communicate with it?" she asked and Walter paused.

"What I gained?" he seemed confused.

"Do you think I sent you to the emperor's shed or the power?"

"Then what?"

"The power is a plus. Still, the true reason is for that entity. Can you speak with him?" she asked and Walter nodded in his confusion.

"Tell it, if it does not come out, I will kill you." she said coldly and he froze.

"I give it five seconds." she said and Walter felt the temperature in the room sink.

"What?"

"Three seconds..."

"My lady...!" Walter was actually scared even though she had no weapon on him.
