Protect Me

Duke Salvador was sitting in the dining hall eating at his regular speed.

But his mind was elsewhere. No matter how hard he tried, Aiden could not concentrate. He took a spoonful into his mouth as he looked at the Vivere Kingdom's Crown Prince, Prince Carl.

'This man knows Princess Cassandra's secret.'

'But how?'

'And he even wants to have a talk with every Duke.'

'Something is not adding up.'

Duke Salvador's eyes darkened. The Prince smiled at the Duke, making him smile. 

'Now things are taking different turns.'

Duke Salvador smiled as he returned his gaze to his plate. Soon the dinner was done and everyone shifted to have a chat and drink.

Duke Salvador moved towards the balcony with a wine glass in his glass. He smiled as Prince Cedric came in for a chat.

"What is the Duke doing here?" Prince Cedric smiled as he looked out at the darkness.
