Disappearance

ever since Arden had called him in, he was not able to concentrate at all when his mind was going back to the scene when Evan was laughing pleasantly with Raymond.

His face got darker with that thought, that the aide was having a problem in speaking.

"My lord, lady Elizabeth even went to the palace but came back empty handed. Shall I look more into the matter?" asked the man, as he knew that his master was not concentrating enough.

Only when the name of Eli was spoken did his eyes move away from the door and turn to look at his aide.

"You mean to say that the royal family had bought all the food grains available in the empire, so that they could distribute it to the commoners but he took care of all other nobles except us!?" his eyes had turned cold at the end of the words that the aide could only nod.
