As I do my best to move the heavy curtain away from the window in the front of a leisurely glance the two fill in fill in clad guards across from us, completely in sync, move their right arms to the hilt of one of their weapons. I counted 6 more concealed on their bodies when they retrieved us. I don't shift my eyes to them and continue to look out the window except I don't really see anything for the moment. I wait for Sacha to assure me they guards are settled and are going to slit my throat for daring to move. When i feel the familiar imprint of another set of eyes behind my own in my head sort of blink gives me the conformation I needed that the guards have not decided my movement was a threat q++
----------1st roughhhhh draft of Sacha/Valen's first pov----------The first thing I noticed was that they were wearing not the royal cape the King and Queen , just a merchant's cape (made out of a much more expensive fabric obviously) but it gave the same silhouette of a royal. The fact that their clothing could have been worn by the common folk but they still held the aura of someone that knew they held power and that made them seem even more godlike somehow/than the advisors at the gate
