A rattling thunder split the relative silence of the palace as yet another unfortunate door frame found itself facing the King's temper. Steel fury set on the boy's face, but you wouldn't have known it to be any different that the expression that graced it on any other day. It was his sheer presence, the harsh striking motions replacing the usual royal grace that made the servants duck into open doorways and guards to press their backs against the walls as the king stalked past. Lately these mood were more frequent and less temperate.
A few snarled orders sealed the fate of the bandits whose daily raids of the trade routes had recently given more than their fair share of attention to the Hitties's goods. Specific additions to the orders as to what exactally should be done to the bandits who survived cast a faint calming presence over Esarhaddon's temper, and all the better for those who decided to visit this home for whatever purposes, for the King lounged back into his throne with a renewed mood, at least passing for neutrality if not exactally pleasant.
