213 AS STUBBORN AS I

Zoe continued to walk in a dignified manner, holding her breath just in case the royal guard decides to change his mind. 

Erin and the man who confided to them followed close behind. The royal guard brought them to the Queen's Place which made Zoe's eyebrows furrowed in hesitancy.

"Is the Crowned Prince with the Queen at the moment?" She asked in a commanding manner, but a hint of fear could be heard from her as her voice wavered.

"Yes, your Highness." The royal guard bowed to her as he slowed down his steps. "Maybe you could help him with his request, your Highness."

Zoe froze as she faced the royal guard. "What do you mean by that?"

Everybody stopped as they were already nearing the gates of the Queen's Place. 

As much as possible Zoe did not want to give more reasons to disturb Raigon from the cases that he was trying to solve. But she went here not just to ask him for help. But to see if he has not harmed himself again.
