Nicholas' Confusion

Tonight was Princess Karenina's birthday, but the one who got a lot of surprises was Nicholas.

The arrival of Noel and several of his men at the villa made Nicholas feel a little surprised and confused.

The villa guard who escorted Noel in towards the king's room was baffled to see him. He wondered when did the king come and how could the king be inside without him knowing about it?

"Y-your Majesty…" he muttered in confusion. Then he awkwardly pointed at Noel. "They are here to see you."

The guard was slightly tense as Noel gave him a sharp glance. Shit! Noel must have thought he was lying and was trying to hide the king because he said the king wasn't here when the head of the Royal Lycan Hunter arrived just now. 

"What's the matter, Noel?" Nicholas asked, which made Noel turn his attention away from the villa guard. "Why are you looking for me?"

"I was ordered by the queen to bring Your Majesty the King back to the palace," explained Noel.
