SCORNED PRINCESS

Adric walked inside his room, his left hand balanced with the right. His face scrunched up a little, as he walked slowly.

"Your highness, should I get a physician to attend to you?" Rowan, who was walking behind him, asked worriedly.

Adric shook his head, "You don't need to, just get me fresh wine. Something strong," he replied before disappearing inside his room.

Oriana, who was running after Adric, saw him enter his room. She quickly dropped Walter down and touched the boy's head.

"Walter, auntie needs to talk to Uncle. Can you follow the maids to your room?" she asked the boy who was smiling.

Walter nodded, "Yes, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself. Go ahead and talk to Uncle," the boy grinned.

Oriana furrowed her brows. Why was this boy acting exactly like Adric? She thought to herself. Before leaving him there, she ran to Adric's door. She cleared her throat first before knocking on the door.
