Cain had just stepped into the huge office when his gaze focused on Eldric, who sat in his seat with a wine glass in his hands, filled to the brim.
Eldric wore a severe expression on his face, his gaze completely focused on the glass in his hand, not even sparing a glance at Cain, who had just walked in with Henry behind him.
Cain also didn't seem all that bothered by it as he simply walked forward toward the huge mahogany table Eldric sat behind, taking the opposite chair.
Garrick stood a few steps behind Eldric, his muscles tense, and he wasn't the only one. The room was filled with other hidden guards, numbering more than a dozen, as they hid in varying parts of the room, ready to appear the moment the need arose.
Eldric sipped slowly on his glass, even as Cain sat down on the chair and crossed his legs with a blank expression on his face.
Neither of them spoke, even as the silence between them grew louder with each passing second.
