Chapter 37 | Master Bolts

As soon as the carriage left, my mind drifted to asking my father for his blessing to allow me to leave once I became king.

It will not be a good idea to leave the kingdom once crowned, but I can trust Caleigh to be a good queen while I'm away.

I paused in my tracks, rethinking my decision. Surely my father wouldn't want this idea and would postpone my coronation once I got the bolts.

No, this isn't right. He would double-cross me when that happens.

The sound of armor distracted me from my racing thoughts.

"You are dismissed," I spoke with my jaw clenched and walked toward the castle garden for a walk.

What happens from now on will require great strategy and planning. If I were to quest for this Master Bolts, no one must know where it will be, for they'll use it for their gain.
