Chapter 75: Eldrin Sevrix
Before long they reached the Vorrakyn and the guards parted to let in Eldrin Sevrix and four from the Bloodied Leaves. They walked towards them and stopped before Duke Frexon.
He didn’t bow immediately, his eyes looked down on Vacuse and the Duke, his face grave before he swept into a shallow bow. "Honorable Grace."
Grand Duke Drenvar Vorrakyn looked at him and nodded firmly. "Eldrin Sevrix, why have you brought an army to the territory of the Grand Duke?"
Eldrin straightened, his eyes cold. "Grand Duke?"
Drenvar’s eyes narrowed at the question, but he remained silent.
Eldrin shook his head sadly. "Grand Duke Drenvar. I am saddened to hear about what happened to you in your territory. Please accept my condolence."
Vacuse studied his face, trying to guess if Eldrin was surprised that Drenvar was still alive.
What was happening now? Vacuse already added more information to what he had already and he was guessing that Drenvar must have known part of what was to go down and he wanted to take advantage.
That must be why he sent his army moving.
If things had gone according to plan, the army of the Sevrix could easily occupy the city then.
But things had not gone exactly as planned.
Eldrin must not have heard from his father, but he still brought his army anyway.
