Consequences

~Prince Randall~

I waited impatiently in my room for Daciana to show up and tell me how it went with her mother, but she was nowhere to be found and this got me worried.

I began to think that I should have talked to her myself and convinced her not to blow our cover. At least not now. I also knew that standing in front of Agatha right now would only make things worse.

So, I just had to wait.

I heard footsteps approaching my door and I hastily ran to get it. Opening the door, I saw one of my father’s guards and my heart skipped a beat.

“Your Royal Highness, his majesty wants you in his room right now.”

“Sh*t.” I cursed under my breath and headed out almost immediately. I began to imagine how Daciana was feeling, standing in front of my father. She would be so terrified.

As soon as I got down the stairs, I began to run to his chamber. Getting there, the guards opened the door for me and I walked in to see Daciana on her knees.

I clenched my jaws and rushed to her.
