Before long they reached the Vorrakyn and the guards parted to let in Eldrin Sevrix and four from the Bloodied Leaves. They walked towards them and stopped before Duke Frexon.
He didn't bow immediately, his eyes looked down on Vacuse and the Duke, his face grave before he swept into a shallow bow. "Honorable Grace."
Grand Duke Drenvar Vorrakyn looked at him and nodded firmly. "Eldrin Sevrix, why have you brought an army to the territory of the Grand Duke?"
Eldrin straightened, his eyes cold. "Grand Duke?"
Drenvar's eyes narrowed at the question, but he remained silent.
Eldrin shook his head sadly. "Grand Duke Drenvar. I am saddened to hear about what happened to you in your territory. Please accept my condolence."
Vacuse studied his face, trying to guess if Eldrin was surprised that Drenvar was still alive.
