章 709: He Needed Her

The palace remained in chaos despite Prince Aldric's sudden return. The captain still held Prince Andre and Issac hostage, uncertain about their fate, awaiting their high lord's return from wherever he had vanished.It puzzled everyone that Aldric's first act upon reappearing was to seek out Islinda, the betrayer. They wondered if she had cast some darker enchantment over him.

As the captain prepared to send the captives to the dungeon, a portal suddenly opened, and Aldric emerged, carrying a woman in his arms. The captain was stunned, his shock only deepening when he noticed the woman's stark white hair. Islinda was a brunette, wasn't she? He couldn't get a clear view because Aldric cradled her so protectively, and when the captain tried to peer closer, Aldric's threatening growl forced him to back off immediately.

Isaac, seeing no sign of Maxi, struggled against the Fae restraining him. "Maxi! Where is Maxi?!" he shouted desperately.
