This is not love

"My lord!"

Wandering around the palace, Albert shouts from behind. "Stay still. We will talk later. Verena just disappeared. I must find her first" Why did she have to leave on her own without bringing that grand general even? No one has a clue about her whereabouts. This is concerning. 

"My lord, it is an important matter! The queen will return when the time comes. Please listen to me for once!" Albert chases after me. Running out of breath since I have been strolling around for an hour, escaping from him whenever he gets closer. "Don't make me repeat, Albert!"

I wave my hand. Not turning back at all. "It is about Kyros Verde, my lord! So, please listen to me for a moment!" Howbeit, the name prevents my steps instantly. "Say it again" I turn, eyes gleaming with curiosity as Albert gulps. He bows his head; "He is still... alive, my lord"
