The Good King

'Looks Like Her'

That night seemed to be longer than the usual.

The guards surrounding every corner inside and outside the palace walls.

The trainees were wide awake because of all what was happening, yet they were not allowed to leave their rooms.

Edwin who was alone, in the room he once shared with his closest friend, watched from his window and could not know what was going on exactly.

He suddenly heard a knocking on his door and got up in confusion to open it.

He did not expect the other five trainees to be standing by his door.

And they did not seem to be looking very happy.

"We know what happened"

Hellen said.

Edwin was caught off guard, yet his reaction remained cold.

"Do you want to come in?"

He asked, allowing all of them inside his small room.

When the two knights left the room, Ezra was relieved that Aylin was alright.

"See? you worry about everything"

Ezra said. Yet Asher's words were not quite close to the reply he was expecting.

"She was lying"

He said.

"What do you mean?"

Ezra asked.

"There was a person hiding inside the closet, Aylin and Louis tried to act careful but I noticed them both glance back at the clost, and I know they are hiding that girl"

The red haired knight's explanation did not make enough sense to the man walking by his side.

"Why would Aylin li- never mind, you're scary I would lie too"

Ezra laughed it off, yet it was more serious than what he thought.

Aylin stabbed the king, broke into his chamber and took away a woman of his own.

Asher could not stop thinking, in hopes he could come up with a solution. He knew that Louis would never ask her to do so but he did some up with his own guess.

"So you're saying that Aylin was spying on Leo, and ended up saving the girl?"

Ezra replied to Asher's theory.

"Yes"

He simply said.

"That sounds pretty dangerous, I know Aylin is strong but we are talking about Leo, he could easily turn the whole kingdom's knights against one person like he has been doing to Elmer"

Once Ezra stopped to hear his own thoughts and properly read the situation, he realised how messed up it all sounded and looked.

"What shall we do now?"

Ezra then asked, leaving Asher speechless.

The room's door was locked, its window was closed with the curtains down. 

Louis opened his closet, and the black haired girl came out of it.

"Are you alright?"

He then asked while giving her a hand.

"Yes... my prince?"

She hesitated since she did not know for sure if he was the prince or not. As much as it looked obvious, as much as it was still confused.
