Chapter 30: Confrontations

The warm sun rays carefully embrace me. It hits my eye almost scared to wake me up but not hesitating in doing so. There's still a cold breeze that comes from the open window. It still lightly winter but the weather becomes warmer. "Good morning, my queen," I say to Kathleen but opening my eyes I see there is no Kathleen and I'm just holding a pillow.

I furrow my brows, usually, she waits for me to wake before she gets out of bed. I scour the room and see that her cloak and boots are not at their customary corner...Why would she need her coat? I get up from my bed and move over to my closet. A pair of my trousers and one of my shirts are missing.

I hear a commotion outside. I get up, not caring for a shirt, only in my britches. Opening the door to one of the servants, "Oh your majesty, I was just about to wake you." She says in a faint voice, her cheeks rosy and eyes big, I give her a disgruntled grunt in return. Just like I've done many times before.
