Unsettling Gaze

 

Prince Louis called for the Lord Chamberlain and inquired about the room. Dissatisfied with the explanation, he asked for a larger, more convenient, and safer room.

The Lord Chamberlain reluctantly agreed to the request, his reluctance fueling Louis's anger. Dismissing the Lord Chamberlain, Louis ignored his profuse apologies.

"Your mansion would be much safer. I'll send my knights with you for protection," Louis said after dismissing the Lord Chamberlain.

Cordelia looked around. Other than the prince's knights, no one else was there. She hugged him tightly, and the knights immediately turned their backs, forming a protective shield around them.

"Cor~"

Prince Louis was momentarily surprised, then he calmed down, gently patting her head and hugging her back. "I won't allow any disrespect to you, I promise."

"I know…" Cordelia smiled, feeling safe in his embrace. "I love you, Louis."
