章 77: 77. Preparing to meet the Empress.

"I swear to all the things sacred and holy to me, if you take one step closer to me, I'll deck you!" Reuel warned the eagle man who had set his feet back on the ground after realizing his actions was causing the prince to have some serious heart attacks. 

"I'm afraid no one will be getting decked today Your Highness," A voice trailed into the room as the huge doors slipped open. 

"At least no one but you. But not in the manner you intend. You'll be decked in better clothing befitting the imperial household." A man drassed in a wraparound sky-blue tunic walks into the room.

The man was about 6ft tall, and he had a nice broad and fit body build. Looking at his face, he seemed to be around Barry's age. And yet he seemed much more hale and able-bodied than old Barry.

His copper brown hair was laced with little strands of white hair. He had a square shaped face, and his eyes were almost hidden inside his face because they were so small.
