"Don't worry, they're fine. One of my friends hid them as soon as you were caught. I'll take you to them as soon as circumstances allow. Not now. The Prince's soldiers are everywhere looking for you."
Basil exhaled a sigh of relief as he nodded. He let go of John's hand and leaned back. Thankful that his two younger siblings were okay.
"Basil," John called out.
Basil looked up and narrowed his gaze at the blue eyes staring back at him.
"I know you're still scared and confused. But I also need information from you. Are you willing to answer my questions?"
Of course. How could she refuse the request of the man who had saved him? Basil nodded.
Relief flashed across John's face which made the strength in Basil rise.
"Thank you, Basil," the man smiled again before continuing. "Can you tell me why the Prince arrested you?"
The question made Basil's face turn pale. Amid his confusion, he almost forgot.
