章 99: 99. Leave Your Fangs

Jael stood up from where he sat on the rock and began to make his back to the castle. He had stayed out longer than he had intended to but he did not regret it. He walked steadily not picking up his pace, however, he still got to the castle faster than he wanted to.

Just before he walked into the castle, he ran into Danag, Erick, and Damon on their way back from patrol. It was almost time for lunch.

"Sire," Danag called in horror as soon as he caught sight of Jael. "You left the castle? What about the guests coming in today?"

"It was only for a couple of minutes, Danag. How did it go?"

They all shook their heads. "Nothing, not even a hint," Danag said.

"I see that should be enough until at least the party is over and the guests have dispersed. Until then, don't go past the fence." 

 "Yes, Sire." They said in unison.
