The carriage came from the palace and sped toward Adriana's residence. When it arrived, the maid who was always with Adriana was at the front, chatting with another maid near the side garden. Bella, the maid's name, immediately jumped up to the carriage to greet the sudden visitor.
"Bella, are Prince Algis and Princess Adel here?" Borneo, the servant who was always with Prince Algis, asked quickly.
General Adelman dismounted and stood beside Borneo, waiting for an answer from the maid named Bella. The maid was frightened. She looked left and right for help, but it seemed that the other servants and maids were afraid as well.
"I repeat the question, are Prince Algis and Princess Adel here?" asked Borneo, the servant of every crown prince.
Any fool would know not to lie now. Bella looked pale and her lips trembled as she spoke. "There was indeed a Prince and Princess here!" Bella's answering voice was small but could be heard.
