"What are you doing here?!" Regan barked not believing his eyes. This was the same woman who had insulted him in the village of Woodbridge and also on the night of the Hallow ball.
She humiliated him in front of everyone!
Perdita took two steps back and straightened her shoulders before slightly lowering her head to bow. She said, "Forgive my recklessness, Prince Regan. I didn't see you coming."
Prince Regan narrowed his eyes. What was she trying to do? Acting respectfully to him now? She had never been respectful to him! Even though she bowed and called him Prince Regan, there was this belittling and challenging look in the way she looked at him.
Letting her go would mean letting go of his chance to deal with her.
Prince Regan took a step forward and questioned with his index finger still pointing at her, "You didn't answer my question. What are you doing here? Who let you in? Or did you break into the castle?"
