章 247: The Announcement

After the whole ordeal was over, William took me back to my private quarters. He laid me down in bed gently but his face was full of rage like he was about to kill somebody.

"Martha, please prepare me a hot bath please." I ordered Martha. With what had just happened, I felt quite dirty all over my body.

"Y-Yes, right away your highness." Martha hurriedly went out to prepare my bath.

"Will..." I called out to him but didn't answer. It was like he was not in his body. "William!" I called with a more clear volume.

William snapped back to himself and looked at me worriedly. "Alicia, h-how are you?" He asked. "Why didn't you call me when that happened? You should have called me. I should have…" He trailed of looking so fierce.

"You should have what, Will?" I asked with knowing the answer. "I know what you would have done. You would have pointed your sword against this country's crown prince."
