While the Princes and Princesses were busy listening to Damien's side of the story, the rumor about the arrival of a mysterious man who also happened to have red eyes had spread around the castle like wildfire.
A few of the guards and maids who had seen Damien couldn't keep that information to themselves. They didn't mind sharing it with the others since their Crown Prince hadn't specifically asked them to keep the secret.
And almost all of those who heard about Damien was in a panic. Though they weren't afraid of their Crown Prince anymore, they couldn't say the same about the new visitor.
"Who is he anyway? Is he one of the Princes of Wyverndale?" one of the guards asked the one who had shared that new information with him.
That guard speculated, "I don't think he is a Prince. If he was then he would have come together with the others."
