So Close, Yet So Far

(Tom's PoV)

That night, I was brought back to the same house where all the elders and white-clothed men were sitting the last time. I guessed I passed the first trial and now I was 'invited' to follow the second one. I looked around and noticed that there was an additional chair on the right side of the big chair. The last time I came here, there was only one chair on the left side. Since there are two chairs on the either side of the big chair, I thought that someone more important than Sir Ahmad would eventually come.

Would the King finally show himself?

I couldn't wait!
