Chapter 156
I was escorted on a ten minute walk which stopped when we reached a large white tipi tent. I was ushered in and gasped at how big it was on the inside.
“The interrogation tent, is where we question those who oppose us, or members who have caused issues, of course you have nothing to worry about yourself, you are safe here.” I would never be safe, I was a pathetic person.
I sat down awkwardly on a bench that was placed in the room and looked at the man. Now that he was lit up by the light of the tent I stared at him, I must know this guy, he did seem very familiar.
“Margret, see to it that a plate of food is given to her grace, anyone can see she is in need of it…” Elius then turned to sneak a happy genuine smile at me before walking up to me and gently grabbing hold of one of my wrists. “How long have these been on?” Concern etched on his slightly wrinkled features. “John, go and wake your father, please, tell him to bring his lock pick.” I watched as a young man, maybe a bit older than me walked off in haste.
“It could have waited till morning. Sir.” He shook his head quickly at my statement. He definitely held command. He
was a natural.
“Your hands are blue, your grace, if we wait any longer you’re lack of blood flow will cause permanent issues.” I suppose they did feel very numb, so I accepted the aid.
The early morning sun began to make its way up in the sky quickly and a sense of calm washed over me. Of course [ would never be able to completely let my guard down, but I was somewhat relaxed, 1 Even got excited when I saw a lady walk into the tent carrying a plate full of food and felt myself begin to salivate at the sight.
The plate was handed to me and I looked at it skeptically. Was it really mine? Was I really ok to eat it? I didn’t question it too much and I didn’t even bother with the fork that was provided. I started shoveling the food down and moaned at the taste. It had been absolutely months since I had eaten properly, and I had no idea how hungry I really
was until I began to eat.
“When was the last time you ate?” Elias questioned me while I answered with a shrug and mouth full of food. The calm and quiet was short lived for me though as a man ran at full speed into the tent I was being held in. His appearance made my heart begin to hammer rapidly in my chest and My eyes widened drastically as my head shot up and away from the food.
There stood in the entrance of the tipi was a man I never thought I’d see again, I thought he’d forgotten about me, but he looked so relieved as he stared at me. His blonde hair was a mess on his head, and a small smile was playing on his lips. His eyebrows knitted together slightly as his gaze remained on mine.
I swallowed the food in my mouth and felt tears prick my eyes as I looked at the old royal beta.
“Dylan…” He let out a breathy chuckle, and walked up to me as if I was a ghost. His hand gently reached out to my face and his palm connected with my cheek. It was a little bit awkward really but still, it felt nice. “You’re really
here…”
