"Take him out." Came a cold order from Lucian, his finger pointed at Simon. A guard entered the cell, and within seconds, Simon was outside the confines of his dungeon cell and standing beside Lucian.
"Take a bath and return to duty as soon as you can." Those were the last words Simon heard from Lucian before the prince disappeared out of his line of sight. He didn't know what he expected, but it definitely wasn't this cold act. He knew Lucian had to keep an act up to avoid suspicions from stirring up, but Simon had expected him to at least smile when their eyes met. However, he had met a cold gaze, one that he had never received from Lucian before.
"Get going already! Or do you want to return to your cell?!"
