He tried to stand up but I didn't let him do so and forced him to stay seated.
"I can go alone. Instead, can you make someone lead the way for me?"
"No, I'll come with you. The palace is so big you might get--"
"Your Highness," I insisted. "I'm going alone. You stay here, okay?"
"But I'm--"
He stopped because I gave him a determined gaze.
He looked like he didn't want to let me go alone but he called a maid anyway.
"Marisa, would you mind helping her find the restroom?"
I'm stoked. Wow. He knows the maid's name?
"I would gladly oblige, Your Highness," Marisa said in response.
I stood up but then Neuron held my arm.
"Do you really not want me to go with you?"
He's worried, I guess. And it's tugging at my conscience that he is concerned about me, little did he know, I'm up to no good.
"Do you trust the maid more than me?"
I held his hand that's on my arm and pushed it away lightly.
