Spilling The Beans

"Sound the horn!" Sek said with a sneer on his face at Eduoard. He struggled with the feeling of despondency and humiliation. Sek had envisioned how the battle would go with the wizard's input. He couldn't believe that Eduoard hadn't seen the loss and defeat coming. If Eduoard was as powerful as he had claimed, why hadn't he foreseen what just happened? Sek wondered if all he had invested in the wizard coming to the Red Kingdom and working for them was all a waste. He wondered if the wages he paid the damned wizard every month were for naught.
