secret eyes?

The room is small and dimly lit, stone walls cold and unwelcoming. A single brazier flickers in the corner, casting long shadows. The air is thick with tension, and the scent of old leather and burning oil lingers. Heavy doors stand at the far end, guarding the chamber beyond where King waits.

Bodyguard Shoving Fourth forward “Move. You’re lucky we didn’t gut you on the way here.”

Fourth Rolling his shoulder where the guard’s grip had been “I’d love to see you try.”

Bodyguard 2 Scoffs “You talk big for someone who doesn’t have a sword to his throat right now.”

Fourth said Coldly “You think that makes a difference? If Tha wants me dead, he doesn’t need your hands for it.”

Bodyguard 1 Smirks “Oh, you’d be surprised. Some deaths are more fun when drawn out.”

Fourth Smirks back, voice sharp as a blade “And some fools don’t realize when they’re already dead.”

The guards exchange glances, irritation flashing across their faces, but they don’t push further.

They know Fourth isn’t afraid of them, and that annoys them more than anything.

The heavy doors groan as they open, revealing King Tha seated in the dim chamber beyond.

He sits with a relaxed posture, his hands folded together as if he’s been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The king tha

King Tha said Softly “Come closer, Fourth.”

Fourth Steps forward but doesn’t bow “Not interested in playing your games tonight.”

King Tha Chuckles darkly “You assume this is a game.”

Fourth Voice like ice “What you did is so wrong.”

King Tha Unfazed, his voice smooth “What I did… was the reason behind your existing right now.”

Fourth steps back " what you is the exact reason I'm fucking suffering!"

king's eyes darken " language "

" English isn't enough shibal?" no fear in fourth's eyes , he's like a stone now who don't have any feelings

"i think i have to teach you some manners" king said while sitting in his usual position

"and i think you should learn it first, or should i see a teacher for u ? My dear king? And also whatever your work was with me , just forget it because I'm not doing anything nonsense this time if you wanna kill me then do it because I'm already dead inside,"

Fourth’s breath stills for half a second, but he doesn’t let it show. His fingers twitch at his sides,

curling into fists. He had always known there was something about his past that didn’t fit—but this? This was something else.

A silence stretches between them, the brazier crackling softly in the background.

The bodyguards shift slightly, exchanging glances but saying nothing.

"did he move on?" Fourth thinking in his mind he couldn't answer because he's also finding the answer in his heart,

the heart that used to beat fast after seeing someone's face

A pair of unseen eyes watches, listens, waiting. The conversation was not as private as they thought
