I was in two minds about following him but as I peered around at the PR department, everyone else had their heads down and were focused entirely on containing the story—for whatever good that would do.

I threw up my hands and took after Zai.

“Hold up!” I yelled.

I shouldered the door open and immediately lost sight of him.

I peered up one corridor and then down another but still couldn’t make him out.

He must have—

There!

I caught sight of his impressive billowing red cloak that snapped at the heels of his black boots as he headed around the corner.

“Wait!” I shouted, taking after him.

I ran at full sprint toward the corner he’d disappeared around and skidded on one foot as the carpet gave way and slid out beneath me.

I stumbled and caught myself on a suit of Ev’vat traditional armor that crashed to the floor like a display of tin cans at the local supermarket.

Why now?

I bent down to pick the gauntlets up when a servant reached for them instead.

“If you please, Miss, I’ll take care of this,” he said.

He was a kind-looking elderly Ev’vat with soft eyes and dainty horns.

“I’m really sorry!” I said. “Cordon it off and I’ll clean it up later if you don’t have time!”

The servant bowed politely as I took off down the hallway in the direction I’d last seen Zai head.

I paused in the middle of a crossroad of hallways that stretched as far as the eye could see.

This damn palace!

It was worse than a bloody maze!

I checked each arm of the crossroad in turn but saw no sign of the frigging prince anywhere.

Just when I thought I’d gone too far and needed to back up and head down another of the hallways I’d passed, I saw him—at least, I caught the effect of him.

A pair of servants began to stand up after having prostrated themselves before him.

I bolted down the corridor toward them.

They saw me coming and immediately lowered their eyes again—though they didn’t drop to their hands and knees as they had for the crown prince.

“The prince!” I said. “Which way did he go?”

As one, they pointed down a set of stairs.

I took off after him, clutching the handrail as I peered over the side and saw his rushing figure below.

“Hey!” I yelled. “Hey! You!”

I knew it was no way to speak to a prince but what other choice did he leave me with?

He didn’t stop anyway and continued rushing down the stairs.

God damn it!

Why am I even chasing after this asshole?

It was an idle thought as it didn’t reduce the chances of me giving up the hunt.

I wound around the endless spiral staircase, making me feel dizzy.

I came to a stop when I reached the bottom and held on tight to the handrail.

I clenched my eyes shut before looking up and seeing a familiar sight.

We were in an underground garage.

Most of the vehicles belonged to the palace and glinted crimson, the gold lettering on their sides sharp and magnificent.

The servant mechanics got up off the concrete floor and dusted off their overalls.
