Chapter 51: Threats work

"The king will be visiting us tomorrow." Vaughan Bradford declared with a smile, and at once, audible gasps filled the hall. The servants looked at each other, stupefied by the news. They had only heard about the king who ruled their land, and only a few days ago, a few people had come close to being in presence. Though they had not seen his face, the excitement of meeting him had spread across Soren. Even today, the villagers talked about it, reminiscing his powerful charisma.
