The Grey Storm

Leodor's Hall
______________

Elijah was enjoying his cup of coffee for the morning, looking out at the view on the balcony table. Miles and Miles of sand and could see the outline of the ocean, giving him this relaxing hypnotic pull. Until heavy  footsteps made him turn his head, interrupting his peaceful breakfast. There stood a pissed off Iseul, "Where were you all? I was waiting for you three all night like an idiot!" a silent whoosh was heard as Iseul was flung to the black marble pillar by arrows pinning his blazer, two guards placed spears by his neck. "What is the meaning of this? I'm am the Leya's son! Unhand me!" (Lady's)

"Not in these walls you aren't," Lady Dallia appeared  from behind Elijah with a dangerous look on her face, letting the guards lower their spears with a hand sign. "You do not have access to my palace as you wish Mister Rosemary. Two! You dare not yell at my children.

"And three! Who the hell are you?"

"These are not your kids—"

"You took mine away, vheir mothers gave vem vheirs to me to care and protect. So, these are my kids!" pointing a spearhead at him, the guards back away giving her some space to walk towards him. She walked barefoot on the golden marble floor, looking down at Iseul craning her neck low. "Let me start first, what is your business in my palace?"

"I was looking for the kids,"

"And they perfectly safe, you ruined Elijah's breakfast and woke up Ethan."

"Where's Isamiona?"

"At a hotel,"

"How coul—"

"She is higher rank than me, she can go wherever she wishes. She too is safe. Disappear!" signaling the guards to back away, both guys watched at the intense scene. "It's best you leave,"
Iseul and Lady Dallia looked at each other, with indescribable glare. Elijah knew this look well, his mother did the same look before she died. "Dallia," Iseul pulled the spears pinning him, dropping them on the floor. "Lady Dallia," she corrected him watching the guards escorting Iseul out, before sitting down taking her hearing aids as the pieces curled into balls like centipedes.

She tapped her nose twice looking at him concerned pointing at the boys, Elijah nodded continued to sip his coffee. Ethan joined them at the table exhausted, "Pleasing that bastard still drains you?" Lady Dallia rolled her eyes crossed eyes agreeing, Elijah chuckled tapping his nose twice in return asking if she's alright. Lady Dallia pointed to herself then patting her left shoulder with her left hand, swiping her nose with her thumb curling her knuckles into fists as they cracked. Saying she wouldn't mind finishing the job, Elijah saw the historical scar behind her ear running down to her neck which was covered by hair. "Then we won't get finish our revenge if you do," Ethan said to her, making her laugh silently.

Isamiona got up and sighed, turning her head slightly whipping her hair out from her face. "Yes, Mister Devlin?"

"My apologies to wake you up, Head Lady Rosemary. But Lady-in-waiting Lady Dallia has rang for you." the old Head Butler's voice muffled behind the doors of the suite, Isamiona threw over a robe and tapped the lace veil as it parted gracefully. "Okay, send it through." getting out of bed, throwing a shrawl over her shoulders and a random scarf as the TV went on, showing Dallia's face. "My apologises, Lady Rosemary." she bowed her head deeply, Isamiona nodded shrugging it off. "No worries, it's a timezone matter. How can I help?" she sat on the sofa facing the TV, texting Devlin to bring fruits and macadamia nuts with coffee. "The Leodor's hall is all set, Mistress Rosemary can be sent over as she wishes." Isamiona pressed her Kobe beads as it glowed blue,"Mister Devlin," the old butler appeared inside the hotel room from grey smoke . "Can someone please inform Lady Rosemary about this." folding her arms, looking at the TV. "And treats,"
