Snippet #1563426

A hooded silhouette walked through the halls of the Valzian's palace. In front of him, two royal guardsmen bowed "My lord. We are sorry, but his majesty is terribly busy, he will not be able to meet you." Darth Erebos stood where he was and meditated on his next course of action for a few seconds. These soldiers were most likely expendable for the king. They were standing too close, they would not be missed. Rapidly levitating his lightsaber to his hand, he did a quick draw. The red blade cut through the defenders like a knife on butter. He chuckled, he had observed his former master do that on various occasions, although his master would have preferred to eradicate them with a saber throw, a technique Darth Erebos had not mastered yet. Brushing the thought aside he carried on to the royal chamber.

"You really need to improve your security. Your majesty." Said the consecrated Sith Knight. Stepping into the royal throne room.
"I have contacted the senate, they have been unresponsive. I regret to see their blind trust in the Jedi Counsil, and their lack of subtlety." The monarch did not appear to be distressed at all.
"So... is that a declaration of war? Your majesty?"
"No, it is a declaration of their incompetence to conceal their plans. And to think the galaxy must suffer them." The monarch continued "They are sending in ambassadors. I will have them be deceived."
Darth Erebos was starting to get uneasy
"Ambassadors?"
"Jedi." The king spat the word.
"They must not land at any cost! If they do, our entire operation will be compromised. My master will not stand for that, you must have them removed!"
"Oh? Then perhaps your master will be 'kind' enough to let me handle my politics alone. I have no intention on confronting Jedi Knights." The monarch was not pleased by the intermission of his Sith allies.
"...So be it then." The Sith bit his lip in anger.
"The Jedi will not be a threat to us, as long as they do not begin investigating our previous actions." The king frowned, something he said reminded him of trouble. It was not frequent to see the king distressed.
Darth Erebos crossed his arms "... Is this about the Bounty Hunter? I keep telling you, that blasted bandit is a menace, if he reaches either the Jedi or you we will be in trouble." He put his arms down and turned around, ready to walk away.
"I'll cut that loose end myself. I will need a squadron of your best men to cover for me, he will trouble us no further." Darth Erebos began to strut out of the throne room.
"Excuse me. But how will you find the Bounty Hunter." The King was puzzled.
"I can sense his presence, he is already here. And about the Jedi, keep them distracted while I deal with this hunter. Then I will cut them off next." Darth Erebos was now exiting the room.
"I will not allow this to come to that, I told you already."
The Sith Knight chuckled "Believe me your majesty, it will come to that." emphasizing the word 'will' to see if it got through the King, the Sith Knight walked away.
