Aria
The next morning, Ryder and I are back at his palace. Although he did not want to come back, I had to plead with him at least for his mother's sake.
We eventually get to the living room where his parents, and a young man are waiting for him.
His father immediately gets to his feet the moment we step into the living room.
"Where were you last night Astraeus!" He lashes at Ryder before we can even greet them.
His eyes leave Ryder, landing on me, "You? You went after her?" He points a finger at me.
"Father, please do not start an argument this morning," he clenches his jaw.
"Your highness," I bow, trying to explain.
"Save your words," he holds up his hand, giving me a hard glare, "I do not want to hear any of it."
"I told you, we should not have come back here," Ryder throws a glance at me.
I sigh deeply, "Well, I just thought that.."
