After the Prince Regent and his men were gone, Alexa asked,
"Wasn't that your Father, Prince Gutard?" she could tell by Klaus's thoughtful expression that he was also trying to understand what he had seen. But he answered her dryly,
"This is not your business. And if any rumor about tonight transpires in the future, I'm sure you were the source."
Coming from the one who had been hugging her just now, this was a drastic change in attitude, although she could understand the political aspect of the situation.
"As you wish, Your Highness. Keep your promise and take me back to the castle," she answered as coldly as him, thinking it would not hurt to have a map of Kielstadt to try to know where the Regent Prince had been. 'What's the problem with having information you could trade for your security later?' she thought.
