"Huh, to my apartment? Why?" Brittany asked, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead. There was a flicker of confusion in her bright blue eyes.
Alex shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah, I'm sorry..." he mumbled, his voice trailing off.
Brittany's brow furrowed slightly. "Uh, why are you sorry?" Panic flickered in her eyes for a brief moment.
Had i done something wrong?
Taking a deep breath, Alex explained himself. "Well, I'm really sorry about back at Aethelgard Academy. Your parents, the King and Queen, invited me to your place, but I... well, I didn't end up coming."
Brittany's expression softened in understanding. "Ah, but it's okay! My father was incredibly busy at the time. A king with so many villages to protect, you know? He's a very busy man after all." She gave Alex a reassuring smile.
Alex nodded in relief. "Thank goodness. I wouldn't want to cause any trouble for your family."
