Audience

Seth didn’t even get to enter Iris’s office properly when she said: “The king has granted you an audience.”

“That’s what I wanted to hear.” Replied Seth with a smirk before sitting down on a chair in front of her desk. “And you’re coming with me.”

“Me?” asked Iris with a raised eyebrow, knowing full well she was not mentioned in the letter she received.

“Yeah. I need you to confirm a few things as well as be there when he agrees to create the new class. When is the audience?”

“At noon today. Are you sure he’ll agree?” asked Iris, doubt obvious in her eyes.

“Pretty much. If my initial plan doesn’t work out, I’ll keep throwing offers at him until he agrees.”

Iris sighed and nodded. “We’ll leave the academy an hour before noon. I’ll wait for you here. Don’t be late.” She then looked at his clothes and added: “Wear something proper for meeting the king.”
