Chapter 39: Disappointing (1)

"You don't need to go so far," Hazel said, looking beside her at Tobias who had not gone about his way after dinner was over. "I will make it back to my room safely."

"That I will know only when I walk you back to your room," Tobias answered.

He was not leaving until he saw her walking down to her room.

"I recall that you are not allowed to enter where the women are staying. I hate to bring up your past, but I must remind you that there is talk of you being caught alone with a woman. It is understandable why the queen would forbid you from coming around this group. You have the maids behind us looking scared out of their minds," Hazel said, turning to look at the panicked women.

There were many signs that Tobias shouldn't be walking back with her no matter how sweet it was. Tobias was going to drive the queen mad if this continued for much longer.
