Bab 173: My wife

Harold stood by the pavilion away from the palace with his hands behind him as he looked into the lake, waiting for Alvin to return with Harvey, whom he had sent for. 

Approaching Harvey anywhere around the palace wouldn't be a wise decision, and neither would it be safe for Alicia, as someone might overhear them and report to the king or queen that Princess Amber was an exiled princess, and he didn't want that to happen.

As he looked into the water, he remembered that Alicia had been in there recently, and he looked around to see if it was possible that someone could have seen her from a distance. 

As he turned, he saw Harvey and Alvin approaching from a distance, and his eyes hardened. He wanted nothing more than to hit Harvey for daring to offer to help Alicia escape, but he couldn't.
