THE TRAP

Lucy's Point of View

I rushed back to my room after my talk with Alfred in the garden. My heart was racing. I couldn't believe he had snuck onto the palace grounds to talk to me! 

As I closed my bedroom door, I let out a big sigh. What Alfred said about Xavier kept running through my mind. He said Xavier was dangerous and had some kind of history with him. But how could that be true? Xavier had been nothing but kind to me and though he did not explain exactly what happened but he also mentioned having an history with Alfred.

I sat on my bed, feeling confused. Should I tell Xavier about Alfred sneaking in? Or should I keep it a secret? I didn't know what to do.

Just then, there was a knock at my door. "Come in," I called out.

It was one of the maid and that was officially assigned to me by King Xavier. She came to serve me my food. While she was dishing the food, I zoned out and she tapped me asking me if I was ok.
