Shocking Realization
"Your Highness…" Merina timidly mumbled as she came in and closed the door behind her.
"I have been expecting you, though you came a bit late," Asher said while leaning against the window, his gaze still on the skies.
Merina's breath froze as she fell to her knees and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness! I-I…I had some trouble getting it."
"But you did get it, right?" Asher asked without shifting his gaze.
"Yes…I did. Here it is…" Merina said as she raised both of her hands while her head was bent, facing the floor.
Asher turned around and walked towards her. He subtly smiled upon seeing a bronze feather quill on her hands, "Good…" Asher knew this feather pen was actually a rune quill used to draw runes that weren't simple or common.
As someone with decent knowledge about runes, he knew how to at least draw some, especially one that could make people not betray him.
