Cruel Edict From The King

"Keep watch on Shanel and if there is anything that is about to go wrong, protect her. Help her in secret with whatever she does."

"Crown Prince, His Majesty has summoned you to his study."

Gregor frowned inwardly, but had no choice but to receive the summon. While wondering what new kind of torture the King had cooked up, he went to the King's study where King Tredor was waiting for him. 

From his grave expression, it was clear that he was waiting to drop one more shocking news at him.
