Which was to keep the prince safe but here he was telling her that someone tried to kill her son!“I didnt know that something like this would happen, my queen.”“Tell me you caught the bastard who try to do this! Tell me that he is behind bars so I can end his life myself!”Danfus knew that he could only offer more bad news so he decided not to answer.“My apologies, my queen. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself again.” “You couldn't catch him. Someone tried to kill my son and you couldn't even catch the person?!” I was afraid that the person wasn't alone and if I leave the prince by himself they might try to attack him while I'm not there, I should have gone with reinforcement.

The annoying part of it was the fact thathe had no choice but to participate in this.He couldn't bring himself to believe that this had happened to him. The Grandmaster wanted him to protect the crown prince.Same man who had murdered his sister! Do they really think he will be in the right frame of mind to keep an eye on that bastard?!This was going to be a great test of his patience and Keith wasn't sure that he had enough of it..He didn't realise when he bumped into Ellinor and just before she could fall back, he pulls her by the arm, dragging her closer to him and helping her on her feet.“Are you alright?” He asked.Ellinor was quiet, staring at him blankly.
