400 A Deal?

Thalia smiled against his shoulder, pulling back to look at his face.

"How are things inside the royal mansion?" Loui asked.

Thalia shook her head. "Everywhere is in utter chaos. There are rumors that his majesty wants to kill the third prince." She was Loui's half-sister from another mother.

Loui ran his fingers through his hair.

"Are you going to be safe?"

Thalia shook her head. "I-I don't think so. Everyone is afraid. We might get killed too, after all, we are his wife's maids."

"Right…" Loui took a deep breath, rubbing his temple in deep stress. He grabbed her shoulder and looked into his eyes. "Listen, go back into the mansion and just stay safe okay? Leave everything to me, I'll figure something out and a way to make sure you are kept safe, okay?"

"Just trust me, okay?" He begged.

Although Thalia couldn't tell exactly what it was that he was planning, she nodded and turned around, hurrying back into the mansion.
