CHAPTER TEN

Diana

THE KINGDOM WAS fuller than normal when they got back. Diana heard whispers about an attack but nothing too informing.

Immediately, she gave the boy to Rudolph, who took him to their room to get cleaned and rested, then she went to the King, all bloodied and all. The information she had was one of urgency.

She was told by one of the courtroom guards that the King was in a closed-door meeting with his officials.

"It is important that the King hears what I have found out," she said calmly while pulling up her brown hair in a ponytail with the rubber band on her hand.

She had earlier taken it out to be washed at the river and left it out to air dry. One thing she hated most was having dirty hair.

"Miss, we can not let you in," the same guard told her, and she had the mind to knock him out and force her way when the door opened, and Richard walked out.

"Let her in," Richard said simply before returning inside, and Diana followed him, and this time, she was not stopped.
