THERON
Adrian Voss followed the Royal officer and soon the others dispersed. I held Sienna's hands and looked at her wrists.
When she went to the bathroom, I had a bad feeling. But what could possibly go wrong, right? Minutes kept passing, and I wondered if she had a stomachache, so I waited.
The king showing up right then was a damn nuisance, because I was obliged to remain in his presence until he dismissed me, which he didn't. I didn't mention that I had a female I wanted to check on, because I knew that male: he could easily get in our way if he was caught off guard. King Alistair was the controlling type.
He asked me what I kept staring at, and I only said that my companion had gone to the restroom. He gave a quick glance over his shoulder and, when I thought about saying I wanted her my wife, he simply said: "Don't get too attached. As soon as I find my daughter, you will marry her."
