Just Once

As Princess Lillian locked up herself in her chamber for the rest of the day and even night, Nicklaus Elan had dinner alone with King Darius. After that, the King returned to the palace and the Commander see him off.

Nicklaus Elan promptly walked to Lillian's chamber and knocked on the door. However, the Princess didn't respond.

"Your father just left," the Commander said while standing before the door. "I know you're angry but don't skip dinner. You don't have to torment yourself, Princess."

Standing still, the Commander let a few seconds pass before he tried to turn around and leave. However, just when he tried to do that, the door was opened and the Princess appeared. However, she didn't say anything and walked back to the couch where she sat.
