"Your Highness, get your hands off my participant." High Lord Volanti said.
"Your participant? I think we can dispense with the pretense now my Lord." I said laughingly.
"I am in no mood for your games tonight, miss Adamare." High Lord Volanti looked back at Prince Blaize. "Prince Blaize remover you hand or lose them." Prince Blaize stiffened and released me. Turning his attention back to me, the High Lord ordered, "Get inside now."
I swallowed hard. He was definitely angry. Hanging my head, I walked into his study. When I heard the door slam behind me, I flinched.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" The High Lord asked coldly. I felt like a bucket of ice water was thrown over my head. I shivered.
"I left a note." I said weakly.
"Yes, I remember. 'I have business. Will be back soon.' It was very informative." High Lord Volanti replied.
"I was in a rush?" My inflection turned my statement into a question.
