Aureus' sweat rolled down his forehead as Sir Amik went around and spoke to Two-Two. He tried to intercept,
Grand Master she's just a kid. I think she will be training with the white knights, she can handle a few weapons or so. She's had some kind of combat training. I reckon I'll bring her to Sir Tiffy Cashien's court. She can train under him.
What Aranel whispered in Aureus' ear shocked him. But he didn't make any facial expression. He signalled Aranel to wait and discuss this when they leave the court room.
Finally Sir Amik had enough of meeting with the three of them. He kept the gold amulet in his pocket and went back up his dais.
Alright, enough of it today. Aureus you will take the tall girl to Sir Tiffy Cashien. As for that archer, she can meet me in the Military Operation Hall tomorrow morning sharp when the sun rises. I have some very important work for her to do.
Sir Amik said as he raised his forearm and clenched his fist.
We'll teach the barbarians not to mess with the white knights.
I shall proceed with other state affairs with all those who seek audience with my today. Aureus, you and your friends may now take your leave.
Aureus bowed to Sir Amik Varze. He extended his hands to try and hold Aranel's as well as Two-two's hands and attempted to drag them out of the court as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
Once they left the court and walked out of sight of the White Knights, Aureus spoke softly to Aranel,
you know him? You have met him before? Me and the people of Falador, we are funding him to protect us from the invaders. He keeps the peace here in Falador. The old King Vallance was good but he's now old, weak and tired. He has a son Prince Anlaf but he ruled Burthope, for some reason he abandoned Falador and is not coming back. So Sir Amik Varze rules in his stead.
What made you think he is not a good man?
Aureus questioned, confused.
