Formally Rude

"If you have a problem, you can share it with me," Crown Prince Alerone said to Rigor when the latter maintained his silence for a while. "You have been serving me for years now and I think I should know if something's going on with you."

Though Rigor debated in his mind, he knew that he really didn't have a choice. He cannot say anything about The Vanquishers or anything related to the Crown Prince. "There is no problem, Your Highness," he finally said after a good thinking.

"Really?" The Crown Prince's voice sounded normal and if Rigor didn't know him too well, he will surely be at ease, thinking that everything was fine.

"Yes, Your Highness. I apologize for not being attentive enough."

The Crown Prince dismissively waved his hand. "Forget about it. Tell me if you find anything on Lady Lenora."

"I arranged some men to tail her but there is nothing unusual, Your Highness," Rigor promptly replied, feeling a bit relieved that the topic was changed.
