"I brought him along with me, your majesty." Donald responded and turned his head to look at the door. "Bring him in!" He ordered.
The door to the office pushed open, and the workers dragged Edric into the office, throwing him on the floor before Lucius.
"E-Edric." Shocked to see the condition he was in, Valerio's eyes flickered rapidly.
Edric, who looked like he could collapse at any moment, lifted his head and looked at Valerio.
"Your…highness." He uttered in a low voice, and Valerio immediately stood to his feet.
He moved to walk towards Edric, but Lucius, however, grabbed him by the wrist, stopping him.
"Sit down!" He instructed.
Valerio's right eye twitched in anger, and he turned his head to look at Lucius.
"I told you not to order me around!" He glared and snatched his hand away from him. "Don't ever touch me again!" He scowled and walked to Edric.
