Waiting for his demise

Duke William's eyes enlarged a bit when he saw Sir Valen standing there personally. The man never leaves the sides of his majesty and his presence shows the gravity of the situation. His eyes flickered with rage but he blinked and entered the room with a calm face. He welcomed the man with a smile on his face.

"I was not expecting to see Sir Valen here personally." he held Eli's hand and walked towards the other side of the table. The chair that represents the head of the Thayne house, the heir of the dukedom, where lord William sits personally, held Eli's hand and made her sit there.
