Alyssa’s POV The second I stepped back into the palace, I knew where I’d have to go. As a maid and with Alexander following me around to keep me safe, I knew all of his hideouts. There were the gardens, his room, but the one I knew best was the library. It was calm and quiet, a good kind of quiet that let Alexander relax when things got too much for him. So, after I was changed and my duties were explained, that was the first place I was going to look. I was practically unnoticed by the senior staff, the lower-levelled ones with whom I worked side by side gave me a look as they saw me return from wherever they thought I’d been. They didn’t interact with me, and I was somewhat glad of it. I thought I’d be able to get to the library easily and without much struggle, considering how everyone was acting around me, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.Just as I was about to round the corner to the library, I heard my name being called.“Alyssa!” Freya’s voice echoed across the hall
