The first engagement in 1430

Samiyi had to remain calm; she was the only one in charge here. If she couldn't stop Busodi, then much bigger problems would arise.

"Would I have any need to lie to you?" Samiyi said with a face of composure, "You claim you have important official business to report to His Majesty the King, just as I also have pressing matters to discuss with His Majesty. But the King is currently resting, and we cannot see him."

Busodi glared at Samiyi, and Samiyi glared back. Neither of them spoke, each trying to overpower the other with their presence.

After a good while, Busodi couldn't hold back any longer. He chuckled, then took a seat on the sofa in the hall. "Samiyi, since His Majesty the King is resting, let's just sit here and wait together. I don't believe His Majesty will sleep forever."
