章 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.

Now that the king was visiting the Bradford mansion, the servants were beyond excited and nervous. Given their low life, they could never see the king from afar let alone meet him in person. Itri grasped Samantha's hands in hers, exhilarated at meeting the man who held the absolute power in Oryn.
