Royal Guard (2)

The next day, in King's palace...

Well, the day did not start the way mistress wanted to. For starters, when the king said he would like to meet Ashton, he meant he would like to meet him alone. No one else. The mistress was baffled by this but it wasn't like she could have done anything about it. 

So Ashton went in and sat in silence in the courtroom alone. Out of boredom his eyes eventually began wandering through the room feeling a bit overwhelmed because of the sheer size of the room. 

He could not believe it was the same room in which he had been put on a trial. Probably having all those people sitting there and the tense atmosphere made Ashton not aware of his surroundings.
