Volume VII - Chapter 3: Something Even Crazier Than the Last

The morning after Clara told me what she had seen, a notification popped up on my watch.

The Prince had replied to the email I had sent him.

The only thing he said was that he might make some space for me in a few hours.

I was a little... confused, actually. I kept thinking why the Clairvoyance would have shown Clara five-year-old Sue.

And at the same time, what it implied.

But I wasn't so absent-minded that I didn't appreciate the space the prince had created for me, so I was at the palace at the exact time he had specified, even waiting for him to arrive at the room where we were to meet.

And... he did.

The door to the room opened wide, and Prince Lucas sat down in the armchair opposite me, looking very tired. He couldn't help wrinkling his forehead with his fingers as the door closed behind him.

"You look tired."

He looked up at me without taking his fingers off his forehead.
