When Jarvis and the other knights finally went down into the dungeons to take Julian away and kill him, the sight of the two guards asleep on the floor was what alerted them of the boy's missing presence and the prison cell left ajar.
It was with much hesitance that they reported it to the king and was soon under the ire of the man.
"What do you mean he has escaped?" King Draco seethed at the knights in a tempestuous tone. "How could something like this happen?"
"Your Majesty, according to the guards, they believe that the boy has an ally with one of the maids–"
"Do not remind me of this incompetence!" the king raged. "Where are the two?"
"In the infirmary, Your Majesty. They're currently–"
"Drag them here." King Draco spat. He barely managed to hold back his wrath when the unexpected happened and he learned that Rowena spent the night with the peasant but now the boy escaped?
This was unforgivable!
