Chapter 130: THE PRIME MINISTER & THE MAYOR

"Wait," Jayda ordered and quickly jumped down from her horse. "I'm here to meet my father." She walked to the front.

"Miss Jayda, it's you. Forgive me, I didn't see you." The soldier that threatened them apologized.

"I'm glad that the rumors about you and the mayor's daughter being kidnapped are false. What brings you here?" The soldier asked.

Al looked at the facial expressions of the soldiers. He was checking to see who amongst them was a rat. He tightened his grip on the bow, ready to take action when needed.

"I'm here to meet my father."

"I'm sorry Miss Jayda, he asked us not to let anyone in until he and the mayor cast their votes."

"They haven't voted yet?" She sounded hopeful when she asked.

"Not yet, everything was put on hold when the unnatural lightning appeared. That was when the news of your disappearance reached the House of Representatives and your father began to panic." The soldier answered.
