Was I dreaming? There was no way Prince Christopher could be here. He was off attending some ceremony in another country. If this really was a dream, was I still supposed to say “Welcome home”? I stood there, frozen.

His Highness approached, eyes watching me. The smile on his face looked far too sweet and out of place given our circumstances. “Aren’t you going to welcome me back home, Eli?”

My lips trembled as I opened my mouth, but we were interrupted when Lady Anna let out a small cry. I snapped back into focus and turned my head. The man, who had quite literally dug his own grave, was now using Lady Anna as a shield as he raved and ranted.

His real target was me. I couldn’t allow Lady Anna to be put in danger any longer. Resolved, I stepped forward. The moment I did, His Highness mumbled something, stretching his hand out to cover my eyes.

“She doesn’t seem to be involved,” he said. “Jean.”

I thought I heard him calling my manservant’s name as well. A moment later, I could hear what sounded like the man crying out before crumpling to the floor. There was something more important than that on my mind right now, though. It might be considered immodest for me to notice, but the heat from His Highness’s hand made it clear that this was no dream.

Once he dropped his hand, I was greeted by his gentle gaze. The sight was so vivid it seemed to etch itself into my heart.

“Your Highness, why...are you here?”

“How could I not hasten home when I heard you were in danger?” He smiled at me, still clad in his traveling garments, part of his patrol unit disguise peeking out from beneath his cloak. He was right; his attire certainly did give the impression that he’d hurried here.

His eyes went cold as he turned them on Lord Irvin. “Besides, I heard from a little bird that we had an unofficial foreign guest here. As the prince, it’s my duty to make him feel welcome, is it not?”

“Hah.” I heard an exasperated voice trickle in from the door. Prince Theodore was there, accompanied by Lord Sieg and Earl Hayden.

By the time I realized what was going on, Lord Glen and his men had already rounded up the thugs, and the area was now bustling with excitement. I was relieved to see Lady Anna was all right, but those silhouettes we had seen dancing in the shadows before, the ones who had saved us, were gone. I couldn’t help wondering who they were or where they’d gone.

“Things would have gotten complicated if we explained everything to you, so my brother carefully waited for the most opportune time to conduct this meeting. How on earth did you manage to sniff out our plans?” Prince Theodore asked.

“I don’t understand, Uncle. What was your intention in having Eli meet him in secret without my knowledge?” The prince had his usual smile plastered on his face, but there was something in the air around him that made him seem distinctly.
