"Her Royal Highness, Prince Nimrod is waiting for you in his study," one of the palace staff informed Princess Helena.
"He's back?" Princess Helena asked, her surprise evident.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"When did he return?" she inquired as she rose from her chair.
"Just now, Your Royal Highness."
Princess Helena hurriedly exited the drawing room, heading towards Prince Nimrod's study. Two bodyguards opened the door for her, revealing Prince Nimrod already seated behind his desk, his eyes tracking her every movement.
"You're back?" Princess Helena remarked sarcastically.
"Of course, I'll be back," replied Prince Nimrod dryly. "How have you been in my absence?"
"Fine, perfect, in fact! Not seeing you really calms me down!" she retorted.
"Good," Prince Nimrod replied simply, nodding his head several times before rising from his seat and approaching Princess Helena.
"Why did you call me here?" Princess Helena continued curtly.
