"Winifred?" Arthur, who was also shocked, said. He stared hard at her, trying to understand why and what she was doing in the vampire kingdom. "What are you doing here? How did you even get here?"
Without saying anything, Winifred rushed over and hugged him immediately. He also didn't hesitate to hug her back. They were in that position for a couple of minutes, until someone interrupted.
"How did you get out?!" It was Xavier's voice. He had come to check on Winifred, since most of the royals were already taking their leave. He thought Arthur had also left, not knowing he only came out for some air.
Arthur released Winifred from the hug and told her to stay behind him. Facing Xavier with a serious expression on his face, he spoke. "How dare you? How dare you kidnap my woman and keep her in your palace?"
