Alex felt a strange tightness in his chest. For some reason he did not like the way she was looking at him. But he did not get the time to act upon his instincts.
He looked around as if looking for a sign but everything was too peaceful.
He stopped, perhaps he sh0uld go and look for her. The palace had never been a peaceful place and this peace only haunts him now.
"Alex, where are you going?" Before he could turn and leave, he heard the voice of his father and paused.
He did not realize when he had entered the central palace.
"Father!" he bowed his head respectfully when his father came closer. "I have been going to bring a gift for the lady. I forgot that in my chamber." he lied as he showed worried expressions to his father.
He will return fast once he will be assured that Oli was fine and looking at the surprised look but a knowing smirk on the grace of his father, he was sure it would not be too difficult.
