The day of their departure came and Ricco stayed true to his words. He was now standing in front of the expectant eyes of all the hybrids in the town near the lake. He thought that only a few would be there.
But every hybrid who was informed about the prince visiting the town left whatever were they doing. Some even closed shops, restaurants, and all kinds of businesses just to be in the center square of the town.
Ricco looked at Hereda who promised him that only a few would be there to see him and hear him give a speech to the people. Apparently, he can't really trust the royal publicist at all.
Annah just suited herself standing in the corner, blending in among the crowds while Ricco stood there awkwardly. She wanted to laugh at how he looked rather uncomfortable standing there alone and in the center of the attention. But she fought it hard and looked down on the soles on her feet. She only looked up when Ricco finally cleared his throat.
