"You were attacked in the town by a Dragon?!" the King jumped up from his throne, frantically speaking. He never knew such would happen during his reign.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the man bowed again. "I was... we were all shocked by such incident, and to make things better from worse, the entire town was in awe when the Dragon was slayed—"
"Bring me the head of the beast!" said the King to the surrounding royal guards. "And bring to me whosoever slayed this beast! He shall be rewarded generously!"
The guards moved quickly, and Valitis watched their swift movement.
"That's odd," he said, holding a glass of wine. "... A human slaying a beast in the space of the town... how strange..."
Zarvoth joined him. "What's more odd would be the Princess rushing away from her father's side immediately the news came in."
