I scoffed, taking the glass from him and downing it in one go. "What if I told you I did poison it?" he asked with a smirk.
"What death can a poison bring that we haven't experienced a thousand times over?" I replied, and he understood what I meant. He smirked and extended his hand for a shake, which I took, saying, "I heard you are getting married to someone powerful. Who is she?"
He looked around as if searching for something before saying, "Oh, she'll be here soon. If I told you who she is, you would be shocked and wonder how I got her to be mine."
"I see... can't wait to see how special she is," I replied, taking a glass of wine from a maid and sipping it. Ryker continued to scan the room before his eyes settled on someone, a smile spreading across his face as he said, "Look, she's finally here."
