Bab 173: The Howls

One of the guards who was standing in front of that broken door nodded in response.

The guard who had to deliver the message from the King then walked closer to the door so as to inform the Crown Prince that his presence had been requested.

However, the other guard came forward and stopped him on the way. “Where do you think you are going?” he asked in a hushed tone.

“I need to–”

“Shhh!” The other guard shut him up and took him to the other corner of the corridor. He didn’t want the new guard to disturb the Crown Prince if he was in the middle of… something private.

And after taking him there, he asked, “What do you want with the Crown Prince?”

“It’s a direct order from the King. He was asking for the Crown Prince.” The guard quickly clarified his purpose.

“Oh! But he is still in his wolf form. I don’t think it is wise to let him leave this cell before he reverts back to his human form.”
