Kapitel 39: Taut Strings

Lost in thoughts, Prince Caden strolled down the hallway. While he walked, he noticed Hazel and her new personal guard, Kyan. They seemed to be engrossed in their conversation. Caden wondered what they were talking about. He also wondered when and how his bride had grown close to the guard. He halted when he saw the big smile on Hazel's face. Again, he wondered.

Was Kyan another person he should be worried about? Was he another rival he would have to get rid of?

".... you're doing great, Hazel. It won't be long before you master it all" he heard Kyan say.

Several thoughts flooded his mind.

"Your majesty?"

He snapped out of it at the sound of Kyan's voice. Their gazes locked and Kyan bowed in greeting. Caden's gaze drifted and rested on Hazel who gave him a small smile.

"Are you okay? You seem like you're lost in thoughts" she said and Caden shook his head.

"It's nothing. Where are you headed?" He asked.
