章 396: Of Fear and Uncertainty

In a cosy internal study room, an elderly man sat, his head resting on his chair. Despite how comfortable the chair felt, his heart burnt with despair and pain.

This was no other than the current king of the country. Xander was listening in on the conversation between the princess and his son.

Truth be told, although he sought her out himself, he couldn't bring himself to trust her with his beloved prince. This was because the father understood what pain and trauma could do to a person.

He was impulsive and driven by his emotions. Helplessness forced him to beg the princess to meet his son. Once the meeting was in place, his heart was in chaos. He felt uncertain about his dealings.

Will she remind him of all the hurt he had caused? Will she accuse him and bitterly reprimand him? Will she add to his mental breakdown?
