What Is She To You?

As it was already night, Nicklaus Elan was surprised when King Edric suddenly show up in his chamber. 

"Your Majesty," he uttered as he rose from his seat. Then he walked towards the King and bowed. "May I ask what brings you here at this hour?"

It was already past dinner time and it wasn't really the time to visit others anymore.

"I come to have some drinks with you," the King said and glanced around the chamber. "It seems like you're always alone."

Nicklaus Elan was still confused as he knew that this wasn't like the King.

Was something wrong?

"Do you plan to keep me standing?"

The King's words snapped the Commander out of his thoughts and he quickly lowered his gaze. "My apologies, Your Majesty. Please have a seat."

Edric Maselli simply smiled and took a seat on one of the couches.
