“There are no problems, Your Highness. Just because people think that there are problems doesn’t mean that there are any problems for me,” I corrected him patiently.
“Call me Desmond just as we agreed please,” the prince reminded me with a smile.
“Thank you for worrying about me, Desmond, but I assure you that I’m fine and there is no need for you to concern yourself with my matters,” I said politely.
In other words, please just leave me alone…
“That’s good to hear. Many things are changing and it may be possible that your father is getting more anxious regarding the uncertainties. So, if I were you, I would refrain from doing things that would further worry him,” the prince warned.
“Are you worried for my father?” I asked as I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Of course not. I’m worried for you and no one else,” he replied smoothly.
