She curtsied to Boyce and left the room as both Miel and Cassta took to their feet and watched him approach them.
They both came from behind the table and they embraced Boyce with tears streaming from their eyes.
"Empal had told us who you are, Boyce Loebh Scullion-Blue!" said Miel between sniffles.
"We didn't know that our great friends had any children, Master Scullion! Where did you stay as a child? How is it that your father didn't tell us?" Cassta asked desperately.
"I remember both of you so well, Cassta and Miel. My father only had two friends that he trusted with his life!" said Boyce.
"How do you remember us, Boyce? We had never seen you before this day!" Miel's tears subsided allowing wonder to dry them.
"I was hidden before everyone's very eyes and there wasn't a soul in all of Phoride that knew. Only Empal was told and that was just before my parent's death." said Boyce and he then proceeded. "I was Boy, my parent's servant!"
Astounded, the men kissed Boyce's right hand and they didn't even pay attention to Zoro cawing at them.
"How it is to me, now, to realise that a great ruler truly served his people!" Cassta praised Boyce.
"I had once served, both of you, with things of substance and now it is time for both of you to serve me." Boyce's voice sounded demanding.
