"Where have you been, my prince?" Displease can be seen on the king's face upon seeing the first prince early morning. His chief assistant reported that prince Veziron arrived at the palace last night, therefore, he called for him.
The fact that he's been away for many days without a word worried the king.
"A lot of things happened in the palace yet you weren't around. Did you know that the princess of Armany arrived in the kingdom few days ago?"
The prince jerked when he recalled what happened to the princess. Guilt and sadness were written all over his face. And the king caught the sudden change in his eyes. Did he already know about her? As expected.
"You're not surprised?" The king questioned.
"E-eh?" The prince suddenly woke up from his daze moment, then he met his father's suspicious eyes. "I… I already heard it. The news about her was all over the place."
