Hear me out
"What are you doing here?" Richard questioned as he turned his attention from the hand to Adela.
As soon as Adela heard Richard's words, she spoke while raising her eyebrows.
"Camilla".
Richard squinted and murmured, "Camilla?" Without a response, Adela whirled around and took off running. The sight of her doing it confused Richard. "Adela, wait," he said, calling her name.
Adela did not, though, and Richard did not remain there frozen; instead, he sprinted beside Adela. And it didn't take long to catch Adela. He seized her hand and drew her near him as though Adela were her lover.
"Prince Richard, what are you doing? Please let me go."
That was the first time Adela called out his name, "Richard." Richard ignored Adela's statements and instead raised his voice at her. As soon as he saw where Adela was headed, he hurried after her to stop her from going there. Adela was weird, and Richard knew it, but it might also be harmful to her.
"Hear me out."
