Three days after the incident in the city, it was never the same for everybody, but everyone moves on as it was part of something that they signed up for.

It's also been a couple of days since they've been hearing that the royal family would come and visit the camp. They just don't know when. After the chaos that almost cost the lives of the training guards, new rules have been mandated by the Prime Minister. He was there when they were attacked.

The royal family has been quiet the past few days and so is Theo.

It was rough for him to be the center of it all. To be in the interest of the public. To be the one they wanna be dead. Theo hasn't heard if it was the same people who attacked him for the first time, but the agenda of these people is quite dangerous for the monarch that's why if this situation keeps happening, restrictions within the country will come into law.

Even tourists who would love to witness the coronation soon might never happen for their dream to come true.

"Everyone, training for today ends early. Dismissed," the commanding officer announced to the lined-up men.

All men dispersed after getting an order from their commanding officer. Some knew that today might be the day that the royal family will visit the camp. A few of them are excited to meet the royal family while other hand, Theo's a little scared of facing his family for bringing chaos to the country.

"Are you going to take a shower?" Stanley asked as they were heading back to the sleeping quarters.

"Maybe later," he answered.

"Your family's going to visit, right?" Yussuf asked.

He shrugged off. "I don't know... no one's telling me anything yet so I don't have an answer for you. But you're the one who seems like to know a thing about it. Care to share with us?"

Yussuf shook his head. "I just heard it, too."

"I'll take a shower later... you guys should go first," Theo reasoned.

Stanley and Yussuf left the quarters joining the others while Theo remained sitting on his bed. A few minutes later, Jeremy walked in and Theo didn't even notice him. He was surprised to see him when he was standing next to his bed.

"How long have you been standing there?" Theo asked.

"Not that long," Jeremy answered. "What are you doing here alone? Everybody seems to be in the shower right now."

"I know... I told them I'll take a shower later."

"Are you sure? You always seemed to avoid showering with everybody else or do you just want to take a shower in my room again? Like you always do."

"No," he simply uttered.

"Alright, do you know why I'm here?"

"No. I don't have an idea."
