Oliver's POV
I helped my friends escape without letting John see them by forcing him to just drive off.
After covering some distance, I looked at John, who had been focussing on driving, without saying anything.
" What did you do about the calls that came from the Palace? ", I asked.
" I just ignored them but the phone kept on ringing for quite a while. ", he replied, focussing on driving, despite of not knowing where to go.
" Are you afraid now? ", I asked, on seeing his hands shaking.
" No. "
" You can tell me honestly. There is no need to lie. "
" To be honest, yes, I am. I have already seen the way His Majesty reacts if he does not like something and that scares me. ", he replied, hesitantly.
" I know. Don't worry, unless you betray me, you will remain safe and sound. "
John did not say anything and just kept on driving.
