Jayden POV
"We should get out of here. He would take us and might threaten my brother to give up the throne. Caden would be in danger!" Peggy panicked.
I knew she was scared of what could her foster father do to us and Caden would not be an exception.
I felt her knees weaken and she was trembling from fear. I didn't want to see her like that. I wanted her to feel safe. She always looked anxious because we couldn't find her foster father. We couldn't even find a trace of that man. He just vanished right after the incident in Flousia.
Peggy turned to me with a worried face.
"Calm down, Peg." I said.
"How can I calm down knowing that Jonathan—"
I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to comfort her. But it didn't help. Her whole body was trembling. I didn't want to leave her, but before I came to Willow Green, I already made up my mind.
"I'm sorry, love. I know that you would get mad at me for doing this. Don't look for me."
