"Is Ellena here?" Gewen asked John.
The butler nodded. "Yes, my lord. Lady Ellena has been waiting for you two all day."
"Bring her to the study," said Mars to the butler. He walked briskly toward his father's study and got ready to meet Ellena.
Apparently, he could talk to the girl sooner than he expected. That worked too, he thought. Initially, he wanted to talk to other people first, like John, Mr. Vitas, his father, and then Roshan. Then, he would ask Ellena to come and speak to him.
It was important because Ellena seemed to meet Emmelyn before she died and had a conversation between them. He needed to know what the women were talking about.
Five minutes after he arrived at the king's study, John came with a servant bringing them tea. They served the tea in three cups and took their leave.
"Lady Ellena is coming," said John before he bowed down and closed the door behind him.
