Nostros sat in his seat reclined back. Evangeline was sitting behind him with the baby. His manner was harsh, completely opposite of his normal nature. Krits was too busy with Evanna and reminiscing with friends to pay attention to what Nostros' mind was practically shouting out loud. He saw Nark come out of room into the dinning hall. Nark met his gaze and Nostros motioned him over.
"My King." Nark bowed. "What is your bidding." His age showed in his face it was obvious that he had not been sleeping.
"Security has been sloppy about guarding my daughter. I saw Evangeline in the hallway alone with her." His stare was cold.
Nark ignored it knowing it wasn't his place to inquire. "Forgive me I will take her back now."
"Thank you." He waved for Evangeline to go with him. Then he remained in his seat touching nothing to eat. After a while he stood and journeyed to the hall of souls. "Why!" He slammed his fist to the floor, blood splattering across the marble.
