Chapter 81: Reunion
Henley
Soon, we arrived at the palace gates, and a broad smile spread across the guard’s face when we pulled up. “Ms. Henley! It’s a pleasure to see you again!”
I returned the smile. “Thanks, Bill! Declan and I are married now.”
“Yes, I heard! Congratulations to you both!” He nodded to Declan. “Congratulations, man!”
Declan nodded, obviously not used to being so personal with the guards. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Come on in! Henley, your mother and King Maxwell are expecting you.” Bill motioned toward one of the other guards, and they waved us through. We pulled up in front of the palace a moment later.
“Jackson, would you like to come in and meet everyone?” I was used to everyone being like family here at the palace. It was good to be back.
But he quickly shook his head. “No, thanks, Your Grace. I’ll be right out here when you’re ready to leave.”
