The servant was surprised as to how the door hadn't opened because the room had definitely recognized the king. Only under his touch the vines would move. He remembered clearly that with Daryn and his wife, the doors of the room had opened. However, the girl whom he was with wasn't his wife. That's why he hadn't suggested that she also put her hand on the panel.
Shocked, Caleb asked, "Why isn't it opening?" he was now doubtful if he really was the king of Ixoviya.
After a momentary hesitation, the servant addressed Elize. "M'lady, please put your hand on the panel on your side."
Elize stared at him for a second and then looked at Caleb after turning her head to adjust her vision. She was already feeling scared and goose bumps lined on her skin.
"Put it baby," Caleb assured her, feeling her fear.
