Duke Lineti Parlov peered at the crown prince Killian with his eyes narrowed. "Sorry prince, what might you be doing on this fine day outside my residence? Did you lose something?" he raised a brow.
"Duke! Enough playing with me! Let her out!" Killian growled loudly.
Duke stepped closer to him. he was a head taller than the young prince towering over him.
Glancing down, he just smiled. "Why? Why are you doing all this for a maid? Might I know crown prince? Oh, if you are not willing to answer I might as well go to my dear brother and ask him myself."
"You!!!" Killian's fists were tightly clenched ready to throw a fist. But he held back. This man still had his precious friend. His reckless actions might hurt her. Taking a deep breath, he backed away. "She is my maid. Even though you are a duke, you have no reason to hold her captive."
