Chapter 124: Chapter 124

The secret was out now and Lord Leoric knew better than to deny any of it. Perhaps Princess Aeryn was right and he should have avoided the meeting with the Master of Spies, yet there he was embarrassed to even talk.

Lord Balrus continued "Why do you want to see the dragons?" 

"Because it's not every day one gets to see a dragon, can you blame me for being excited?" replied Leoric. 

"I don't trust you. I don't like your presence in the capital, you are to leave at once or else I shall convey your plans to enter the Queen's palace without her knowledge. Believe me, the King will not take it lightly"

Lord Balrus stood up and called in his servants. Then he directed them to show Lord Leoric outside, and even though he still wanted to talk and maybe convince Lord Balrus to give him more time, Leoric found himself leaving Lord Balrus's manse a defeated man.
