"In the letter, you wrote that you will grant me my wish in exchange for three favors from me. You provided me this petal as evidence…"
The prince takes out a petal from the Midnight Queen and puts it on the table. The man lifts his head and the prince's heart quakes. He stands up in shock. The chair legs drag and scrape the floor.
The mouth of the man is sewn shut, so where is the voice coming from? The prince looks through the room but sees no one else than the two.
"Tsk. No need to panic… Just sit back down," The voice comes from the man.
'Just who is this person? How the hell can he speak?'
The man frowns, and a shadow forces the prince back to the chair, drags the chair closer to the table till the prince's chest hits the rim. The prince becomes visibly shaken.
The prince swallows hard again, "How are you going to get me the Midnight Queen?"
