The Princess rushed out in a panic. She didn't want anyone to see her, nor did she want to see anyone. She went to her room in the other building, knowing no one would come for her there. She closed the door and fell to her knees. Her breaths wavered in the tiny room, suffocating her.
She repeated the words in her head, trying to process the information they had dumped on her.
Allegedly, her father had died, her mother had gone missing, and Killian's father had betrayed her father. She was wanted by her country, so she couldn't go back. Her palms lying flat on the floor trembled as they supported her body's falling weight.
She didn't even know if she wanted to cry. She couldn't believe she had been foolish enough to follow a random man into a different timeline. She couldn't believe she ended up getting her father killed. She fell to the ground hopelessly, cursing her foolishness.
