Under Secrets

Someone knocked Dylan's bedchamber's door. 


Lizha got up and walked towards the door. 


She opened the door, "Yes…" she said casually, "Bentley…" 


"Your Highness. Your Imperial Highness's escort says he has a message..." 


Lizha opened the door a little wider so Bentley could leave the message directly to Dylan. 


Bentley bowed, "Good evening, Your Highness! I have a message from Your Imperial Highness..." 


"His Imperial Highness has sent me to inform that he is waiting for you in his solar..." 


He's waiting for me… Dylan thought, totally confused. 


"Your Highness..." Lizha caught his eye. 


"Huh! Yes... I'll be right there..." Dylan said, already standing up. 


"Thank you! I'll get deliver the answer..."
