The Alpha Warrior King

An Unusual Guest

"Father"

"What is the meaning of this?"

Naya is on guard, her hand on her dagger and eyes locked on the unusual guest before her. His sinister grin that he throws her way makes her skin crawl. Naya doesn't scare easy but his presence in her father's place is unsettling. And just the little light in the room adds to her uneasiness making her be ready for her guardian incase of anything happening.

"It's so lovely to see you again my dear Naya"
The stranger greets her but she ignores him and turns to her father who hasn't said anything up to now. He is eerily quiet and that makes her nervous. It was unlike her father to not pay attention to her especially when she was clearly addressing him.

Her father's guest however is clearly happy to see her as she sees him smile everytime he eyes her. She waits for her father to tell her what is going on meanwhile refuses to exchange even one word with the guest.

"Father!" She calls out to him and the older man looks at her appearing a little calm.

"Hello daughter" he greets her flatly.

Her father's demeanour makes her frown and she wonders what is going on, what he is planning and why he has invited the one person he shouldn't in his home.

"I don't think you have been properly introduced, this is..."

"I don't wish to be introduced to him father and neither should you be opening your home to him." Naya cuts her father off.

"Naya..."

"No father, it's seems you forgot too quickly that I almost died because of him."

The incident happened a long time ago when Naya was just a little girl but she remembers it like it was yesterday. And there is no way she is getting cosy with him.

"An unfortunate incident I assure you my dear" the stranger looks at Naya but she is still ignoring him.

"Not to mention he is not welcome in Dome." Naya adds.

"Does godfather know about this?" Naya can't help but ask when she remembers how the king of Dome doesn't take too kindly to any treachery.

"Enough!"

Her father's loud growl fills the entire room they are in surprising her.
She looks at him questioningly unable to understand what he is up to. The stranger just sits back with an amused look as he watches the two of them.

Naya purses her lips to keep herself from saying anymore. A difference of opinion between her and her father sometimes breeds a long strain of arguments and she is not about to have one of those in front of his guest. But she makes it clear to her father that she is displeased with the presence of the person before them and will by no means accept anything that has to do with them.

"Will you at least hear us out?"

Her father speaks to her calmly once more but she gives him a look that tells him how unwilling to do that she is. She sees him visibly sigh and leans back in his seat.

"I could never forget the day I almost lost you my princess." Her father looks at her with the love that she is used to and that softens her a little bit.

"It will always haunt me till my dying day but I promise you that nothing I have done since or will do is meant to harm you in any way. You know you are my everything" her father looks at her with eyes begging her to listen to him.

"And to answer your question, no Louis is not aware because it's my duty to take care of such matters and not burden the king."
"And he is only here because only he can help us to get this done." Her father points to his guest.
