With speed and accuracy, Calder moved through the crowd. Most of the people in the crowd saw his daunting figure and stepped aside while others were too immersed in their conversation, completely oblivious to his escape route.
However it made no difference to him, he maneuvered around them like a fish swimming in water. With great success Calder escaped the crowd and started to walk away in giant strides. "W-wait, wait! Wait for me your Highness!" a breathless voice shouted desperately from behind him.
Calder stopped dead in his tracks, a single thought crossed his mind. 'Run' but he couldn't, the attention grabbing power that Lady Britille had would make him immobile within a heart beat. He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb, sighing as he did. There was no escaping her, the way she was screaming with her breathy voice just reminded him of a harpy closing in on its prey.
