Dragomir pulled away from the hug and then suddenly he had this intimidating look on his face. It felt as if he went from being a father to being the King.
Then he raised his voice and asked sternly, "Where were you, Adeline? One of the guards at the gate told me just a while ago that you had gone out of the back gate alone... That also yesterday night! Where did you go for the whole night? And why didn't you take any of your guards with you? How can you be so careless when you are the Future Queen?"
Adeline's face turned red. She had ordered the guards at the gate not to tell anyone, but they couldn't keep her secret when the King was involved. She looked down at the floor and she replied in a low voice, "I am sorry for being careless. But I… I really needed to get a few things out of my head."
