Oliver's POV
" Your Highness. ", John said and gave me an encouraging nod.
I mustered all my courage and then asked the guard to announce my arrival.
" Oliver, come come. ", His Highness said as he got up from his chair and came to me.
His Majesty also got up from his chair but he stood there only. For some reason, His Highness had a smile on his face while His Majesty's face remained expressionless.
" Take a seat. ", His Highness said as he brought his hand near my shoulder, which on seeing, I moved back, unconsciously.
On seeing my reaction, His Highness started laughing loudly and His Majesty had a smug smile on his face.
" I apologise Your Highness. ", I immediately said, on seeing them laughing, worried that they might do something.
" Come on. Can't I just be 'father' for today? ", he said, laughing.
