211 Crystal Palace

Looking at Drayce who had his face buried in his hands, Seren found herself struck with worry. She couldn't figure out what was happening to him or what he's feeling. 

'Did I just anger him?' she thought. 

She heard him sighing deeply, and she could imagine him gritting his teeth behind his hands. 

"Y-Your Majesty, are you alright? My apologies for—"

Drayce exhaled heavily, interrupting her next words, and when he looked up at her finally, she found his fiery red eyes devoid of any emotions. His face had returned to its normal cold and calm expression, and she could no longer figure out his thoughts. 

She blinked a few times and thought in panic, 'He seems angry. Has he finally decided on how to punish me?' 

As if Drayce sensed her fear, he let out a silent sigh. "My Queen, we are going somewhere. I hope you won't mind."
