"You're..." Zelda said with a surprised voice as she looked at my face, her eyes seemingly recollecting information about me, which soon got to her as she spoke.
"Austin... right?" she said to which I smiled as I gave her a dramatic bow.
"Indeed, I am Austin Lionheart, happy to be in your service," I replied as I straightened myself, gazing upon Zelda who was now looking at me with unkind eyes as she asked.
"Did you plan all this to get me? To have use of me?"
As she asked, the entire atmosphere in the place turned completely deadly. I could tell that one wrong move and she wouldn't hesitate to try and take me down. Taking a deep breath, I shifted my head to my right as I asked in an innocent tone.
"Use you for what?"
Hearing my tone, Zelda was stunned as she asked me with narrowed eyes, "You're hiding your identity and playing around with the war council, and you bring me here to set up this elaborate play. Don't you need me for something?"
