38 The king Confidante

" David, you are back," Johnny said

" yes,"

" What's the matter?"

" Somebody seems to be following Faith,"

" Who,"

" I don't know,"

" She isn't the princess, so right now she is suffering for what the real princess did,"

" I know, I promised her I will help her take her to her world, if she is going to go back to her world, she need to go back safely,"

" David, you seem to be caring about Faith, you haven't pay attention to any girl since Allison death,"

" I am not caring about her, if I helped her, she helped me too,"

" Helped you with what?"

" Leaving this palace,"

" Well, I won't be shocked if you are planning on leaving this palace because of what the royal family did to you,"

" Let's not talk about that for now, let's find the person who is watching Faith,"

" How will you do that?"

" If the person was able to enter the palace and be watching her, then that means the person stays in the palace,"

" Who do you think it is?"

" I don't know, so I will have to be on my guard when she is going out,"

" Ok,"

Somebody knocked on the door.

" Come in, the door is open,"

" Sir, the King requires your presence,"

' Ok, I am coming,"

The guard left.

" What does the king need?"

" I don't know, I have to go,"

David went to meet the king.

" My king, you called me,"

" Yes, sit down,"

" David, you have always been someone I trust among the guards, I know you might think that I am selfish for keeping here, after what my daughter did but I have no choice, I can't find it in me to let you go, I am sorry,"

" My king, don't apologize,"

" David be honest with me am I a good father to my daughters?"

" My king, why are you asking such a question?"

" If I have taken good care of my daughters, no many people would have been hurt, so tell me am I a good father?"

" I will be honest with you, you are not a good father,"
