Kapitel 150: Out in the Woods

"Lauren?"

By the time Alec was done with his bath, he went out of the bathroom in a robe only to find out Lauren was not in the room. With a towel in his hand wiping his damp hair, he roamed around and he still did not find her.

The two maids outside jumped when the door suddenly opened and saw Alec only in a bathrobe. They quickly lowered their heads in nervousness.

"Have you seen the Queen going out?" 

Although they were confused why the King asked if the Queen went out even when they were together in the room, they replied in unison, "No, Your Majesty."

Alec shut the door behind him and took a pause. He cocked his head as his eyes wandered around the room. He couldn't think of a reason why Lauren would suddenly leave. And if she had urgent matters, why would she not use the door? 

Alec looked at the open windows. He believed she either used the windows or made her way down to the balcony. But didn't she want to talk to him?
