Chapter 13

Seyn was surprised when just a few hours after he had been basically kicked out of the Second Royal Palace, Borg’gorn contacted him to tell him that Ksar was requesting a meeting “at his earliest convenience.”

The nerve of that asshole.

Seyn fumed, considering just ignoring the request after the way Ksar had treated him, but in the end, his curiosity won out. What did Ksar want? Why would he request a meeting after telling him just a little while ago that he’d overstayed his welcome?

So Seyn waited until the late evening, not wanting to appear eager, and headed back to the Second Royal Palace.

“How is Harry, Borg’gorn?” he asked as strode toward Ksar’s office.

“The young prince is in his quarters with the King-Consort and the palace physician,” the AI replied.

Seyn perked up. “Have they found a solution?”

“I am not in a position to share with you the contents of their conversation, but I can reveal that the physician has confirmed my earlier findings.”

Seyn deflated. A part of him had hoped the AI’s conclusions regarding Harry’s health had been wrong, but it probably had been stupid of him: Borg’gorn had the combined knowledge of the best medical minds in history. There was no doctor on the planet who could have given a more accurate medical diagnosis than the Second Royal House’s AI.

“Your Highness?”

Seyn looked up. “Yes?”

“May I ask you to be more civil when you speak to the Crown Prince?”

Seyn blinked incredulously. “More civil? Me? You should be having this conversation with Ksar, not me.”

“I am aware that the Crown Prince can be rather…ill-tempered where you are concerned,” Borg’gorn said diplomatically.

Seyn smiled. “The understatement of the century.”

“But he has been working non-stop since you left, and I believe he is currently in a rather foul mood. Any confrontations with him when he is in such a mood are highly inadvisable, Your Highness.”

Seyn rolled his eyes. “Is he ever not in a foul mood?”

The AI’s silence was quite telling.

“He has never been a happy child,” the AI said at last. “And he is not a happy man.”

Ignoring the twinge of something, Seyn said, “If he isn’t happy, that’s entirely his own doing. He’s the one who keeps even his own family at arm’s length.” To be fair, now Seyn had a better idea why Ksar might have done it. In the past few months, he’d found that it was difficult to be honest and close to his family when he had to keep such a huge secret from them.

“Announce me,” Seyn said, stopping in front of the closed door leading to Ksar’s office.

“The Crown Prince is otherwise engaged right now,” Borg’gorn said apologetically. “But he said it would not take long.”

Unimpressed, Seyn folded his arms over his chest, glaring at the door. Did Ksar think he had nothing better to do with his time?

Finally, after what felt like forever, the door opened and Councilor Vehmer emerged. He looked pensive, but his expression changed to surprised when he saw Seyn. He bowed. “Your Highness.
