Capítulo 27: You're More Valuable Than You Think

When Captain Gillard and his guards saw him, they immediately got down to their knees and lowered their heads. Sierra followed suit. But instead of getting down on her knees, she curtsied instead while keeping her eyes on the ground.

"Your Majesty, King Alistair," Captain Gillard addressed him.

"Rise," the King's voice was a little raspy, "Where are you taking Princess Sierra to?"

Captain Gillard immediately began to explain what had been found and how Sierra had volunteered to provide information. As soon as he finished, Alistair waved the captain aside and walked up to Sierra.

He was wearing his mask, which covered part of his face. Under the glow of moonlight, Sierra confirmed her suspicions. She would never mistake this pair of eyes ever again. This was the man she had saved that night in the forest.

He was also Silas.

"Are you alright, Princess Sierra?" he asked softly, almost with a strain of pain in his voice.
