Ruthless Commander

After Ruby gave her permission for the soldier to enter. She could see the shock and fear on the soldier's face once his gaze met Mabon's. She didn't know what to make of the exchange but she knew she needed time alone with the soldier. 

"Mabon... We will speak later on, alright.."

Mabon nodded. He squinted his eyes at the soldier before turning around and leaving the room altogether.

"Come closer, Ruby said.

"My queen, may you live long..." the soldier said as he bowed down before her.

"I didn't know my commander was here..."

"Perhaps you should have asked the guards outside who was with me before you chose to knock. Don't you think so?"
