Heinrich and August shared glances of concern. Heinrich quickly reached for the door and opened it for the Princess.
"What is wrong?" He asked, looking at her haggard appearance.
"I cannot find Killian!" She cried in concern.
Heinrich sighed. It hadn't even been 12 hours since he had left.
"He went outside." Heinrich said, "He informed me. Fret not."
"Outside?" The Princess held her chest as if running out of breath, "In this war?!" She asked with shock.
"Fret not. The route he took will not harm him." Heinrich assured her with his lies, "He will be back soon."
"Why did he go out to begin with?" The Princess raised an eyebrow.
Heinrich paused to think of a good excuse. The Princess was not witty. For Heinrich, fooling the Princess should be simple.
