[Bonus chapter]Side Story (William)(2)

(William's POV)

I walked out of his majesty's office and heaved a sigh of relief. I was able to remain here in the palace of Grandcrest as the captain of the imperial knights. I may not be by her majesty's side, but at least I will still be close by, unlike if I take my father's title as duke of Cunningham.

I was walking along the hallway back to her majesty's room when I felt a heavy gaze on me. It was the same feeling of hostility I felt from earlier. When I looked to my side, I saw Theon standing at one of the balconies here in the palace. He seemed to be arranging planted pots on the balcony's ledge. His eyes were looking towards me with pure hostility.

'What did I do wrong against him to warrant such hostility?' I wondered.

Because I cannot think of anything for him to look at me this way, I decided to confront him. I walked towards the opened balcony door to confront him.

"Good day Theon." I greeted.
