Bab 144: King Hadrick Iceheart and the elder

The group had little obstruction going through the gates after the guardian knights reported who they were. Ethan led the way sitting on high and the rest of the men followed closely behind as they slowly made their way to the courtyard just before the doors of the castle. 

When he arrived, a group of knights clad in silver winter armor stood silently and carefully observed them, an elderly man stood in front, his deep blue eyes never strayed from them. Ethan felt a sense of death from the man and tried to discern the man's strength but to no avail. The elderly man who seemed he could fall at any given moment concealed a horrifying amount of strength. 

The group dismounted from the horses, and they came before the residing knights where the elderly man spoke, "Welcome, King Ethan. We have been expecting you for a while now. Come with me, His Majesty awaits" the old man said in greeting.
