"I'm sorry to be disturbing you, but you are the only person we trust to escort me to my parent's home. I will repay you in the future," Hazel promised.
Kenneth was true to his word and came the next day to escort Hazel out of the palace. They travelled with fewer guards than Kenneth and Tobias originally wanted as Hazel didn't want to bring too much attention to the fact she was leaving the palace.
Hazel was leaving Tobias with a storm as they had informed the court of her leaving at the last second to avoid hearing their opinions about her leaving.
"You are the queen, Hazel. I am more than happy to serve you. If you need help getting away from the king, you can call upon me anytime. I can take you anywhere to get away from the palace if you need," Kenneth offered.
