Bk 2: Chapter Six (9)

The conversation did not go on for long as Amie asked the maids to show the guests to their rooms to rest. The king looked at her with a raised brow as she got up to leave.

"My wife is quite aware of the matters of the Khul Empire," he said and she paused.

"You mean to ask then don't beat around the bush," she said.

"Young Master Ru?" he asked, "Your ability to unsettle people unsettles me,"

"What unsettles you is how I gain information to unsettle people. You fear that you requested a gullible wife and got one with a secret information circle," she said and he smiled slightly.

"Fear not, King Adrian, your wife is still gullible," she made to leave.

"Why did you call him young master Ru?" he asked and she paused then turned to face him. King Adrian stared at her pondering expression as she made her way back to him and took a seat beside him.
