A predator and stubborn prey

Instead of taking her to her chamber, Harold walked into his chamber with her, while Paulina, who had run after them, stood outside the door, terrified that she had caused trouble for her mistress. Who knew what the cursed Prince was going to do to her? After everything she had heard about the cursed prince, she feared for her mistress' life. 

"You should go." A person appeared beside Paulina, almost making her fall to the floor from fear, not knowing where he had appeared from. 

When she looked at his face, she recognized him as the young man who had saved her when Beth almost strangled her to death. If she remembered clearly, he was one of the prince's people. 

"But..." She pointed at the door. She couldn't leave her mistress like that. What if she was hurt? 

"He won't hurt her." He assured her, sensing her concern. 

She didn't look like she believed it and hesitated to leave there. If she even left there, where would she go to? Back to Beth?
