I was still wondering what he meant as I stepped out into the grand hallway.I came to a stop in utter shock at the sight of the person standing with obvious high alert just a few feet away.The minute I stepped out, his gaze landed on me; I briefly saw him let out a sigh of relief before schooling his expression and walking towards me."Your Highness," he bowed at me as soon as he got close enough."H… How come you are here?
