De'kren didn't bow with the others, neither did Marda properly, not of out of lack of respect. He did it because his father never did, never knew why though.
"My lord and lady, may I ask why you summoned the whole guard this time?" he asked brightly.
"I will keep this brief Faroi, a Dreshi cave has been opened nearby, we think they are going to unleash a large attack on Encruso soon. We want the Afrena to close it," he smiled slyly, "you leave tomorrow, you will have a small squad of troops with you, get your stuff ready for a large battle. That is all." The king turned his head to the queen and said something to her quietly, and the stood and left the room through a side door next to a portrait.
"That...was...interesting..." muttered De'kren confused, "well we have our orders, let's go!"
"Xeo, it's not a hunt, so no smoke for you," he laughed as he walked round the group to the door.
