Seren returned to the palace with many questions in her mind. She decided to wait for Drayce to arrive and then talk to him.
'Dray is a king and he has spies everywhere. I am sure he is aware of Prince Keiren and his wife. But why didn't Drayce say anything about it? I need to talk to him.'
In the night, Drayce returned to her. Seren wanted to ask him straight away, but instead, she held back, walked to him, and clung to his arm.
"You seem tired. Have you gone somewhere?"
"I was looking into some territory matters, the territories that were merged into our kingdom by the previous king. They are mostly small fallen kingdoms that are now our territories, and rebels are rising there."
"That must be too much work."
"Every king has to handle such situations; it's nothing."
"Sit here," she guided him to the bed, "I can give you a head massage."
Drayce chuckled, "Why are you being so attentive today?"
