Unlike Devion, there was a huge difference between the Khal he knew and the person standing in front of them. It was not about appearance but his expression.
While Khal was not one to always smile or show exaggerated expressions, he rarely put a cold expression on the surface. Yet, Khal seemed to be colder when he was younger, making him appear far more daunting than his future counterpart.
Seeing him, Devion grimaced, not hiding his displeasure in the slightest.
Ayen had seen him use this kind of expression too, but he could tell they were not really sincere. However, at this moment, Devion was not acting.
It reminded him again that Devion and Khal used to have a rival relationship before they became together. Although it was only one-sided on Devion's part.
Khal's eyes swept over them before his gaze landed firmly on Ayen; those blue eyes bore indifferently on him for a few seconds before he shifted and glanced again at Devion.
