Everard pulled a blanket to cover the lower half of his body and turned his head to look at the door.
“Come in,” he said after wiping the corners of his eyes.
Ruby pushed the door wide enough for her head, and as usual, she took a peek inside the room. When she saw the Crown Prince lying on the bed with just a blanket barely covering the lower half of his body, she instantly pulled the door shut.

“You can come in and talk, Ruby,” was the only reply that she got, so she walked inside the room while keeping her eyes on her feet.
