Panic

Duke Salvador's hand tightened.

"You can go out," Aiden said in a soft tone to his butler as his eyes narrowed.

"Yes, Master." The butler could sense the change in the aura in Duke Salvador, but he still obeyed him.

Aiden waited till the door was closed. Once no one was around he opened the letter with a heavy heart.

The contents were something that he had never imagined.

"They want to meet me today?"

"Why?" Aiden crumbled the letter as he stood up.

"And that too with all the dukes. What is Prince Carl planning?"

Aiden knew that the answer to this question would come to him in some time. But it still made him uncomfortable.

"I hope it is not dangerous for Princess Cassandra."

Cassandra walked into the forest with Amy.

"Princess, what are we doing here?" Amy's tone was shivering. She was wondering what were they doing in the night at a quiet place.
