After the quick visit to his mother, Alaric bid the princess farewell and headed to the inn where his father was staying.
When he arrived, he noticed the unusual atmosphere in the group.
What happened while I was away?
He raised an eyebrow and beckoned to one of the higher-ranking warriors to ask about the situation.
"What happened here?"
The warrior immediately responded with a serious tone. "My lord, His Highness, the crown prince, came here earlier to discuss something with the Lord Baron. They eventually agreed to…"
He told Alaric about the crown prince's command and how Lucas had accepted it.
Hearing this, Alaric furrowed his eyebrows and quickly headed to his father's room to confirm the situation.
This is not part of Mom's plan. What is father thinking?
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in."
Alaric pushed the door open and saw Lucas sitting before the coffee table. William was also there sitting adjacent to him.
