Drayce was having a quiet breakfast all by himself within the large dining hall of the Queen's palace. His nanny, Lady Saira, was faithfully standing by his side, sighing to herself as she watched over the little prince eat as if he's not tasting the food.
Ever since he returned to the palace, the prince had stopped speaking on his own, and he would only respond with short replies if asked for anything. If left unattended, he would merely stay in a daze inside the Queen's study or the Queen's chamber, or shut himself inside his own chamber while hugging his pet eagle. Even so, he would only listen to what his nanny or grandmother asked him to do.
It was a very long chapter to write that my hands felt like they will fall off. Haha! Happy reading. <3
