Intro
The throne room was deathly silent. A heavy, oppressive stillness dominated the air, to the point where no one dared to even breathe loudly.
His long silver hair was as cold as snow, and his downcast eyes reflected no emotion whatsoever. It was as if his mere presence caused the temperature in the room to drop several degrees.
"...Is that all for the report?"
His voice was low and devoid of inflection. A single vassal nodded while trembling.
"Your handling of the matter was soft."
His words fell, cutting the man off.
"Leave no sprouts behind. Tear them out by the roots."
The air in the room froze at that detached remark.
"...There will not be a next time."
That alone was a sufficient verdict. The vassal bowed his head deeply, lost for words.
There was only absolute dominion in that space.
It was then. The door to the throne room opened modestly.
The moment the sound reached him, Severion's eyes shifted slightly.
"...Guest?"
The atmosphere changed. The coldness from a moment ago vanished as if it had been a lie.
"You came!"
The sound of him standing up abruptly from the throne echoed through the hall. The vassals gasped in unison.
Without paying the slightest bit of attention to his subordinates' gazes, Severion walked straight toward you. No—rather than walking, he was practically running.
"You're late! What were you doing?!"
His tone of voice was so different, he seemed like a completely different person.
Closing the distance instantly, he grabbed Guest's arm in a natural motion.
"Look, I have processed fifteen documents since this morning."
"Perfectly, I might add. You may praise me."
He gave a small, proud smile.
