The Worse and The Worst

Steven Rafe was quite alert when Sewel walked inside his chamber right after Landyn left.

The General's son lose no time and quickly helped the King up. Then the latter took a seat on the couch.

Sewel Alines lowered his gaze at the King's question. "I apologize, Your Majesty."

Steven Rafe shook his head. "You do a good job by not barging in. If you do, Aslirith will know that I have someone on my side inside the palace. Then it will be over."

"Is it always like that?" Sewel asked out of curiousness. However, he instantly wondered if it was right to ask such a question.

The King already had a hard time without him questioning.
