After escorting them in, the shadow guards disappeared. There were only the four of them, a crackling fireplace and a table with wine and light snacks set up for all of them. The three women glanced at one another.
"Why are all of y'all still standing there. I don't bite," Alistair mused as he poured them a glass of wine each.
"Come, sit," he beckoned them once more.
Sierra was the first to take a step forward. Followed by Lady Diane, then Roxine.
"King Alistair...Your Majesty... I-" before Diane could say anything else, Alistair cut in.
"Less talk, more wine. Here, Diane, this one is for you," he said as he handed her a glass.
As soon as Sierra sat down, he handed her a glass. Last of all, he held out a glass for Roxine. Not wanting to know what would happen if they turned him down, they took the glass in their hands.
They thought they were sneaky sneaky, but it turned out he knew all along! Nothing can escape our Alistair~
