416 LELAND'S HEADACHE

LELAND felt like a horrible case of headache was about to bombard him because of the things the prince was suddenly saying. His immediate reaction was to dissuade the other from executing whatever idea he just came up with. But then he caught something in the prince's words. 

'Someone wants to hear their heroic exploits' – which meant this was not the prince's idea but someone else's. Or at least, someone said something that led to the prince to have this kind of idea. 

There's really one person who came to mind that could have that kind of influence on the prince.

Astrid Townsend.

A rookie actor that the prince met during one of his escapades this year. It was something harmless at first. Leland even thought that the two would not meet again after the prince left planet Delryria. But the two met again and that started the unexpected change of the prince.
