Worried Raven
Raven was working as usual when he heard a servant.
"Sir, Count Alaric has arrived."
"Could Alaric? For what?"
He asked with confusion.
Count Alaric stormed in, demanding an audience. It was a great discourtesy, especially since the Duke and his wife, Seraphina, had just wed a few days ago. However, the Count had no regard for such formalities. His sole aim was to find fault with the Duke of Everwyn and exploit any perceived weakness.
"What should we do?" Servent asked again.
Raven, who didn't want to get disturbed, thought for a second then.
"Just send him to the waiting area and send someone to talk with him. Just say that I am extremely busy." He said.
The servant nodded and left.
...
Upon returning from work, Raven asked his Steward
"What did Count Alaric want this time?"
"Nothing new. As usual, he demanded money."
