Cadmus suddenly coming to a halt caused Russell, Jamir, and Irvin to bump into him, sending all four of them falling in a heap on the floor.
"Idiots!" Hershey laughed out loud.
Hartmut almost fell to his knees the moment the adrenaline wore off. Blair put her hands on her hips and let out an exasperated huff.
"Why are you chasing this poor guy, Your Majesty? He never bothers you, but you don't hesitate to bother him."
Cadmus reacted with an indignant, "What?" Meanwhile, Hartmut wanted to cry.
This was the first time someone had ever defended him.
"Blair, you're so kind to me," he sniffed.
She smiled. "Of course, Hartmut, we're friends now."
At that moment, Blair Winifred looked like a goddess with beautiful wings, a rainbow-colored halo around her head, and angels singing in the background.
Hartmut fell to his knees. "I'm at your service, milady."
"Huh?"
"HEY!"
