Disappointed Liege

Zulfi Dimitry was bewildered, seeing his precious sword – bestowed upon him by none other than the royal crown prince – fall far from him. He couldn't gather his thoughts as his eyes shrank.

"Pick it up, there won't be a 2nd time." Declared Paul Channa

His words echoed in Zulfi's ears, he stood up to take the sword. But before his gaze could lead him towards the sword, it changed its path. Now his gaze was moving in an upward direction, it reached the 2nd platform but didn't halt there and ascended until the golden platform was in sight. The remorseful gaze finally paused, the man it landed on was non-other than Ezra Zephyr.

The prince looked back at his subordinate, the proud swordsman was shaking, and there was an obvious look of disappointment he saw in his liege's eyes. In the next second, Ezra turned his eyes away as if he was saying to Zulfi that he is no longer related to him.
