Chapter 25: Proud

“Your Majesty, I did what you told me to” Donald said standing behind Skylar who was staring into empty space as he faced the window.

“I know Donald, good job” Skylar said not turning to face him.

“What’s the next step my Lord?” Donald said.

“How was the look on his face?” Skylar said.

“Pained, angered and most of all frustrated” Donald replied and Skylar chuckled lightly.

“Now he know how it feels when good opportunity is ripped out of your hands before you make your major move” Skylar said smiling in satisfaction.

“You are so intelligent my Lord” Donald said praising him.

“I know that Donald, you can get going now, I’ll send for you if I need anything else” Skylar said.

“Yes my Lord” Donald said bowing lowly after that he walked towards the door.

“Donald” Skylar called again.

“Well done again” Skylar said smiling brightly this time.

“Thank you my Lord” he said and walked out the room proudly.

“Jon” Skylar called and Jon came out of the darkness which he stood in.

“Prepare for my journey to the council grounds tomorrow and take care of that piece of trash that just walked out of here” Skylar said sipping from his glass of drink that he just picked up from a small table.

“My Lord, I don’t want to disobey orders but I think he might be useful to us in the future” Jon said with so much respect.

“Do you think he will?” Skylar said looking a bit confused.

“I’m sure he will” Jon said reassuringly.

“Then he can live for now” Skylar said and Jon heaved a sigh of relief that his cousin wasn’t dying tonight.
