"You are not human, like us, are you?" The words left my mouth in whispers as my eyes glanced around eyeing the destruction caused by the two men. 

Two men who had effectively taken out Twenty guards. All heavily armed and trained.

I leaned a little to see more clearly.

One was Olivia for sure and the other was someone I did not recognise.

The soldiers walked in the space from the entrance to the king and stopped hardly ten steps away from the king's throne. The crowd of staff members had parted with wide eyes and clenched fists to see who had entered.

Their eyes moved and dropped to the two servants who were dropped on the floor.
