His words kept me hanging and I couldn’t stop thinking about what the prince was about to say just now. A short while later, we arrived at the wall that separated the palace from the outside world. My heart began beating faster and faster in my chest. The light from the guard station at the gate poured into the car. There were so many guards at the gate and all of them saluted after recognizing the prince’s car.
It seemed like everything was progressing smoothly and one of the guards was about to open the gates for us when a very large man stepped out into view.
“Of all the days…” the prince murmured before he scoffed.
The large man approached the prince’s side of the car bent down until his face was level with the car’s window. I gulped from nervousness as Prince Leonard opened the car’s window. My body stiffened but I was too scared to even look at the large man.
“Where are you going, Prince Leonard?” a deep voice asked.
