Claire's POV
"Your Highness." Accompanied by knocks, Alfred's steady voice came from outside the door. "Evans wishes to see you."
"Hmm." Just mentioning that name, Louis's temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
"I knew he'd come sooner or later. Tell him to wait for me in my study."
"Understood, Your Highness."
"Can I go with you?" I leaned against Louis, tilting my head up, carefully requesting. "I want to know what Evans is up to, please."
My pleading gaze eventually swayed Louis. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded to me.
"Alright, but I need you to hide in the corner of the study, don't make a sound. Can you do that?"
"Of course." I smiled, wrapping my arms around Louis's neck, planting a kiss on his lips. "I promise to be a perfect invisible person."
Louis's POV
"Your Highness."
Hearing my approaching footsteps, Evans turned around in the study, bowing to me.
