A Shot In The Dark (ReaverxPrincess)

Chapter 9

         Reaver made his way through Bowerstone Industrial he received word of workers who were protesting the working conditions again. He was near the factory when he heard screaming and gun shots. He rushed towards the factory to find the kings guard shooting into the crowd. Half the works were laying in a pool of blood while the others hid. The guards saw Reaver and instantly sheathed their weapons. "Reaver King Logan request your presents." Reaver smirked. "Well seeing how you've taken care of my current business I can't refuse." The guards escorted him to the castle.

Once again Reaver entered though the large wooden doors that lead to the war room. "Reaver I have urgent news." Logan was still peering over the giant war table placed in the center of the room. "My sister has been seen in Brightwall I need you to have someone investigate." Reaver's expression faded. "Are your guards not capable of tracking her." Logan stood and looked towards Reaver he had a certain hint of hopelessness in his eyes. "Reaver you're the only one I can trust." Logan was facing him now. "I've seen the way you look at her when you see her around the castle." Reaver's stomach turned. "I assure you I don't know what you're talking about your majesty." Logan turned and began to pace around the war table with his hands held behind his back. "You know I would never let you be with her but I want you to find her because I know you wouldn't harm her." Reaver couldn't argue with him any longer he knew Logan was right. "Very well I shall see to this matter personally." Reaver leaned on his can and gave Logan an impatient glance. "Reaver just remember I have eyes and ears everywhere." Logan's expression dropped. "If anything happens to my sister I'll hear of it." Reaver's chest tightened. "Nothing will happen to her I'll make sure of that." Logan seemed pleased with his response. "You know Reaver I've never really seen you show real sincere emotion unless it involves my sister." Reaver's face began to feel hot. "I assure you I have no idea what you're talking about." He tried to deny it but he could hear his voice shake. Logan looked at him with a sorrowful glance. "At least I know you will protect her so I chose the right person for the job." Reaver didn't respond. "You may leave now the sooner we find my sister the better." Reaver was escorted from the castle.

    Reaver arrived at his manner to be greeted by Berry. "Masta Weaver the guest have awived." He remembered that he had decided to throw another party in honor of a business agreement. Reaver sighed he had so many things on his mind. "Berry get some of my people to search for the princess near Brightwall ill go myself in the morning." Berry just looked at him funny. "Yes Masta Weaver." Berry left to fulfil his orders while Reaver joined the party. After all he couldn't leave his guest unattended or let people think he is acting odd. He let himself get lost in the crowd of faceless people. He knew trying to get Amelyn off of his mind was useless she always finds her way easily back to his thoughts. He grabbed a glass of whiskey before he was pulled into a conversation with a business partner. By the end of the night Reaver had passed out drunk with the rest of his guest.
