Chapter 123

Henri woke the next day to find his personal maids lined up at the edge of his bed. They had immediately returned to him as soon as he came back from college, they would have to leave when his parents return but for now they would make the most of their chance to take care of the Prince again.

"Your Highness." Annette murmured, curtseying, the other three mimicking her action. "Word has come in that you will be receiving quite a number of visitors today." She said in a rush, hoping to deliver the news quickly.

Henri quickly rose to his feet, his friends had said that they would be paying him a visit at the castle but he hadn't known it would be this soon. It was welcome though because he was already sick of being all alone in the huge castle.

It didn't help that he had nothing to do, he couldn't even spend some time with his parents because they had gone on a trip.
