Messed up
"Your royal highness"
James grinned when he saw Ian there. But he did not respond to Alfred; instead, he gave him a blank stare and left the area. When James walked away, Ian asked quietly, "Uncle, are you all right?"
After taking a deep breath, Alfred sheathed his sword and grasped Adela's hand. "I am OK. Adela, I think this is where we should end our work for the day."
Adela nodded nonchalantly as if she had nothing more to say right now. Because she could comprehend her father's level of rage. He warned her several times to stay away from the royal family, but she continued to draw near them.
Ian said hesitantly, "Uncle, we—"
"Ian, come over to my place. We'll talk about everything there."
Alfred rushed out of there in a minute after saying this. But he didn't even wait for Ian. Ian blinked his eyes, thinking that he should let them go first and then follow them. Ian turned to leave when he abruptly heard Francis calling his name.
