GRAND LORD ZAIPER

"That will be all for today," Grand Lord Zaiper declared, rising from his throne.

The high lords scrambled to their feet, bowing deeply as he swept past. Razarr fell into step beside him. "Your Majesty seems to be in a great mood today."

"Oh, Razarr. Every new day comes with its own brand of happiness, is what it is."

The fourth ruler gave him a look of pure hatred and revulsion. If they weren't in such a public space, Zaiper had no doubt that grand lord would have thrown a punch. All of this over four worthless nobodies? Ottai is so boring. "The grand king would never have allowed this!" He spat.

"Oh, stop being so prim and proper, Ottai. It's not a good look on you. How does sweet Morina even tolerate this self-righteous attitude? You are just as responsible for what happens in court as I
