Chapter Twenty Seven

Darius saw Tavi coming out of the Lord Sultan office and he followed him into the royal gardens. He had overheard the entire conversation between the Tavi and Lord Ashdad, and it confirmed his suspicions. Now he knew he had an ally amongst the council members.

“Lord Tavi,” Darius said, coming up beside him. “I would like to speak with you.”

“Speak,” Tavi snapped, releasing the pent up anger that had built in speaking with the arrogant Lord Sultan.

“There is no need to direct your anger towards me,” Darius said calmly, adjusting the small bag of edicts that was perpetually at his side as he tried to keep up with Tavi’s brisk pace.

“Forgive me,” Tavi said with a heavy sigh, stopping and turning towards Darius. The short balding demon was old, but very good at his job. His clothes were constantly out of fashion and disheveled. He kept his head down and concerned himself only with his work, never wanting to ruffle anyone’s feathers.

“I understand your irritation,” Darius said, trying to convey a hidden thought to Tavi with his eyes. “I too have been uncomfortable with some of the recent changes.”

Darius was just a child when Lord Ashdad was previously the Lord Sultan, before he disappeared. He often struck fear in the hearts of his servants, and he was widely known for his endless quest for power. There would not be many demons left alive that remembered him. But Darius remembered. He remembered the night that Lord Sami was anointed the new Lord Sultan, two moons after Ashdad’s sudden absence. His father had come into his room, waking him with a smile beaming on his face. He had told Darius how different things would be in the kingdom now, how wonderful Lord Sami’s reign would be. The new Lord Sultan had made a lengthy speech, in which he promoted peace and prosperity, in stark contrast to his warlike, power hungry father. Lord Ashdad may act like the prodigal Lord Sultan, returning to his people with regret that he ever left in the first place, but Darius knew better. He remembered the man Ashdad used to be.

“We must be careful,” Tavi said, “it would not be wise to speak against a Lord Sultan. However disgruntled we may be with his decisions.”

“I could not agree more,” Darius said. “Come to my home this evening. I would discuss such matters in a more private settings.”
