185 I Am Joking

In The Red Kingdom, Ceri Binner sat with King Sek in the garden that was decorated with crawling flowers and beautiful tables and chairs. The day was not sunny at all and the air was cool because of the clouds that covered the sun. It was a cloudy day without rain and that was Sek's best kind of weather.

They both sat and talked and drank the wine that Sek had removed from his personal cellar.

"Sek..." Ceri Binner mused as she took a sip of the vintage wine that Sek had poured for her in her slender wine glass.

"Yes? Do you like the wine, Ceri?" Sek asked with a brow raised. He licked his lips and watched her as she kept the wine glass back on the table.

"What? I absolutely love it." However, the smile on Ceri's face faded and she made sure that Sek was looking at her when it had happened.

"What is the matter, Ceri?" Sek asked with his voice laden with concern.
