Bab 245: The Messenger And Duke

Within the beach city, a well renown and powerful man can be seen sitting in his seat, in his office. He took a light sip of his recently brewed tea, before turning around to stare outside of the window. 

The sun was still out and the birds chirped loudly, he could see his garden and the peacefulness which passed through it. 

It was a warmth, which he enjoyed feeling, a feeling which contrasted his own line of work. 

*Knock* *Knock* 

The sound of knocking resounded through the room, breaking the enjoyable quiet. 

"Who is it?" The man asked after turning his chair to face the door. 

He placed his cup of tea back on the table in front of him before taking in a deep breath. 

Shortly after, the door opened before the knocker presented itself. It was one of the man's trusted maids. 

She waited there quietly for the man to give his permission. 

"What's wrong?" The man asked 

The maid bowed before looking at the man.
