Unsheathing the king's sword

The chamber they were in was spacious and cozy, with a large fireplace that crackled with warmth. The walls were covered with tapestries depicting scenes of hunting and warfare, and the floor was strewn with rugs and furs.

A wooden chest stood at the foot of the bed, containing some of their belongings. A small table and a few chairs were near the window, which offered a view of the snow-covered landscape outside.

The chamber was one of the best rooms in the inn, reserved for noble guests and travelers of high rank.

Teri sat on the bed with Mizak, Prince Ivive, and Elley, while the others reclined on cushions across from him.

Mizak cast a furtive glance at Teri and was about to speak, but he was forestalled by Melovine.

Melovine's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "So, Silver Hair, tell us, how did you execute that move? That was on a transcendent level!" she exclaimed.
