Sullivan's blank eyes met Maverick's curious ones.
Silence reigned before Sullivan replied, "You will hear my part of the deal only if you have accepted the deal."
Sullivan stealthily walked away from Maverick's, passing amid the guards who bowed as soon as he entered their midst.
When he was completely gone, Maverick clenched his fist before he walked to the guards. "Who let the Imperial Prince in without my prior knowledge or my permission?!"
The guards remained silent. Their lips paused and heads bowed since they were unable to look in the face of the crown prince who looked very much raged.
"Are you dumb or deaf?!" Maverick questioned them.
The sole reason he was worked out wasn't truly because he wasn't informed about the imperial prince's arrival to his chamber or because the imperial prince did walk into his drawing room to suggest a deal.
