Are you that important?

Sly let go of Landon's hand. He didn't wait for the two to tag along and walked away from there. His silence hit the prince's heart hard. He expected the merman to yell at him and throw a tantrum. None of which happened.

"We should get going," he said to Landon. 

Together they walked out of the ice palace and through the portal, they returned to the palace. Theo took Landon to his room. 

"Get dressed for the coronation," he said in a soft weak voice that was almost non-existent. Landon wanted to say something to him but held it back as it wasn't the right time. 

The prince was emotionally exhausted. He had been through a lot in just a day and his luck was only getting worse. He pushed the door to his room opened and walked in, he took a seat by the fireplace and lit the fire.

"Judging by the expression on your face, I take it that you got rid of Lady Lara," a sweet seductive voice came behind him.
