Kassim had to push down his irritation at being interrupted as he left the bedroom and stepped out into the main part of the plane. Judd was standing at attention. He muffled a sigh.

Did the other man never lighten up? Was this how Kassim appeared to others? Maybe it was. He’d always admired Judd’s dedication to his job. His preciseness. His need for rules and routine.

But now he could see how rigid he was too. He’d never wondered why Judd was the way he was before. Perhaps he should have.

“What is it, Judd?” he asked, forcing the annoyance from his voice. It wasn’t Judd’s fault that right now, all Kassim wanted was to be in that room with Pippa and his brothers. To soothe away the last bit of panic from her eyes and hold her tight. Sometimes he wished he was more like his brothers. More carefree. Well, Aric was. Tavi and Matek had their own issues. But Tavi had been far more relaxed these last few months, not as wound up. And Matek was completely taken by her.

“Prince Kassim, we cannot do our jobs properly if you will not listen to us,” Judd started.

Kassim held up his hand to pause him. “This is because we wouldn’t sit when there was turbulence?”

Do not get annoyed. He is just doing his job.

“Exactly, Your Majesty.”

How many times had he told the other man just to call him Kassim? Judd liked formalities.

“Judd, do you consider me a child?”

“No, Prince Kassim. But it is our job to ensure your safety.”

“Yes, and if there was a man standing there with a gun about to shoot me, I would allow you to do your job. But guarding me from turbulence is not your job.”

“I have to respectfully disagree. If something had happened to one of you on my watch, it would be on me.”

“Judd, you can’t take responsibility for our safety all the time. I could step out in front of a car and get run over, would that be your fault?”

“Yes.”

Okay, there was no reasoning with him that way.

“Judd, I need to speak to you about Pippa.”

Judd’s gaze moved to the door. “Yes?”

“Caleb informed you that Pippa is ours, yes?”

“Yes.”

“Protocol states that the royal bride is always guarded first.”

“Not over the first son, though.”

“With us, Pippa comes first,” he told the other man firmly.

“When will you announce her as the royal bride?”

His questions irritated Kassim and he wanted to tell him it was none of his business. But he had the right to ask.

“Eventually. Once Caleb and the others find who attacked her.”

Judd frowned. “Caleb said that you think she could have been attacked because of you. Are you saying someone knew about your intentions with her?”

“That’s the part that doesn’t make sense. We hadn’t told anyone. But perhaps she was attacked because she was my personal assistant. This time away will mean that she is safe from any threat while Caleb tracks down who harmed her.”

And when he found them, Kassim intended to show them exactly what happened to anyone who threatened someone who belonged to him.
