The Color Represented (Ch.215)

As the council was dismissed, the dragon lords and riders took their leave while King Jian remained sitting on his throne, 

Though his expression revealed nothing, his exhaustion was reflected in his eyes.

The King's guard were the last to leave and as Menarx headed down the stairs with Neveah by his side, King Jian stopped them.

"Not you..." King Jian said.

They both turned and Neveah raised a brow to find King Jian's gaze was fixed on her.

"My Liege?" Menarx asked uncertainly.

"Everyone leave...but her." King Jian repeated.

Menarx raised a brow before he passed Neveah a look, Neveah nodded her consent.

"I'll be right outside." Menarx said and only then did Menarx take his leave along with the rest of the King's guard.

The doors to the audience hall were closed and Neveah stood, staring up at King Jian while he just stared back in absolute silence.
