Runaway

When Alyssa got to the main hall, she met her father there. He seemed to be waiting for her.

What the hell?

"Follow me!" King Jacob commanded before he walked away from Alyssa and towards his throne room.

Alyssa looked confused as she stared at his retreating back.

What could he possibly want now?

He looked so serious earlier that she couldn't help but be worried.

He had just announced previously that she was going to get married and now she was not looking forward to whatever he had to say.

She knew it would be bad news to her but good news to him.

Still, she did not stay still for too long and proceeded proceeded to follow behind him.

When they were in the throne room, King Jacob proceeded to sit on the throne before he ordered the guards to leave and close the door behind them.

They did as instructed and soon the only people in the large throne room were only Alyssa and him.
