People avoiding him? It was already a given. However, Son felt something strange... from the corner of his eye, he saw a person... no, not running away from him, rather, he was walking towards him. Imagine that... Someone not running away from him. Son felt this slight obligation to stop and entertain the person... just to see what gave him such courage to interact with a dark adviser. Son stopped, facing the person... waiting for the servant to come closer. All the time, Son was glaring at the man with such evil eyes that Son was quite sure that it would have shaken the man's bladder off.
The servant reached him, and with but a few simple words, Son was informed that King Alex wanted to have an audience with him. How rare. Mostly, these royalties wouldn't even dare have an audience with the adviser... They would just go straight to the Queen. This means that Alex was planning something... he was trying to trap him.
"How lovely." Son smiled coldly as he chuckled. "Tell your majesty that I would be pleased to entertain his request. I shall meet with him personally." Son nodded gently to the servant as he caught a glimpse of Alex, some distances away. Son smiled... If he would have rejected the audience, then suspicions will rise against him... The safest way out of this was to talk to the man personally, and attempt to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
With those thoughts in mind, Son quickly strode over to Alex's side; bowing to the 'king'.
"I heard from one of your servants that you, King Alexander Gildone of Kaer, desired to seek an audience with a lowly official as myself." Son smiled gently as possible as he cleared his throat. "I must say, not many sought an audience with an adviser... most of them would actually wait until the queen herself is available, hence, I am greatly honored at your request." Son continued as he returned Alex's stare back at him. "I must inform you, however, that I may choose to withdraw information if I deem it classified, but rest assured, your majesty, that I will do my best to answer your queries."
Son coughed once more as he sighed. "Now then... How may I help you?"
