After a few minutes of knocking loudly the door was opened by Theon, the new butler Regaleon has assigned to me.

My father the king stormed inside like there was some emergency.

"Alicia!" Father said loudly.

"Father? What a surprise." I said in a calm tone.

Father looked at Regaleon and I sitting across each other, with the center table between us. I was in the action of refilling Regaleon's cup of tea.

"King Edward." Regaleon said with an innocent smile. "What a pleasant surprise to see you here. Knowing that you don't come in this part of the palace often."

King father frowned deeply.

"Father please join us for a cup of tea." I said with a pleasant smile. "Regaleon just arrived to visit me this afternoon."

"Yes. I have been busy in the preparations for the engagement party and the parade." Regaleon said.

"Ahem." King father cleared his throat. "I didn't know you would be here prince Regaleon. But why was the door locked?"

"It was locked?" I sounded surprised.
