Prince Maximilian stormed angrily into Queen Arabella's palace. He couldn't stand his mother's refusal to consider his advice.
"My apologies, Your Highness. Her Majesty doesn't wish to be disturbed," the guard cautioned as Prince Maximilian attempted to enter the queen's chamber.
Prince Maximilian paid no heed and pushed past the barrier, knowing the guards wouldn't harm him.
Inside, Sir Collins was giving a report to Queen Arabella about how he had successfully infiltrated the Arkwright family's kitchen with abortifacient powder. Prince Max prevented himself from advancing further, hiding near the door to eavesdrop on his mother's conversation with her loyal guard.
