[Bonus chapter]Not cut out for it

It was a surprise that Sam invited me to take a walk outside the estate while leaving Law in Fabian's care. Sam told me it was better if I saw nothing to our son. I hesitated, obviously — doubted him even. But… I wanted to believe Sam was being sincere. So, I followed him, walking through the pathway going outside the estate.

It felt strange that despite the matters at hand, he was calm. I glanced at him, catching him staring at the gates with his hand on his back. This was the first time I've seen Sam wear the royal mantle. How? How did he come here so soon? Even if he heard the news an hour after it all started, they would take a few days if they ran like their lives depended on it.
