"Where have you been?"
Jack's deep voice echoes. For the second time, he asks me where I've been since last night. However, I need to keep it to myself as I promise to Drake.
I need to be calm and convincing to distract the King away.
"I needed to treat my wounds, your highness. That's why I am gone missing after the werewolves attacked the palace." I said while looking intently into his cold eyes.
But, he looks at me with a shade of doubt and fear. Despite the suspicion, I reach for his face and cup it gently.
Being sweet towards him will bring the spotlight to our wedding.
Jack gulps and replies, "Don't fool me. I know you went somewhere after the werewolves retreated!"
"What... What are talking about, your highness?"
I play a game that I don't know when to end. However, what matters most is to make an alibi that will convince him. "Please, believe in me. I... I have nowhere to escape and I accepted the truth that I will be crowned as the King's beloved wife."
