Outside the patriarch's chambers, Sylvia narrowed her eyes and stared down at the couple of guards blocking her.
"I need to see my grandfather," She insisted. "Has something happened to him?"
"Your highness, visitation is still not allowed." One of the guards said. He looked a little flustered as this was his first time talking to the fourth princess.
"Hmmm." Sylvia frowned. "Are you lying to me? I know for a fact that it is not true. Isn't Lord Roman here right now? I already know that he is visiting my grandfather!"
"Ah. Please forgive me, your highness." The guard shook his head. "The lycan lord did not come here at all and the patriarch condition… umm… it has not worsened?"
"Huh?" Slyvia felt relief flood in her chest but she was still confused. "Then where did he go?" She was asking herself a rhetorical question, but the guard heard her, so he respectfully answered.
