Chapter 117

Keenan’s POV

“Lord Christopher I’m afraid you are to be placed under arrest for making do with a royal prisoner, when the details are made clearer you may be released,” said Lord Bryon.

“Lord Bryon, Lord Christopher is a distinguished man, we shall only detain him a little to ask some questions,” interjected Thallus.

“Very well, this way Lord Christopher,” said Lord Bryon leading a confused looking Lord Christopher away.

I turned to Thallus, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid I have to leave the palace briefly, may I be excused?”

“Of course, the governess has been found,” replied Thallus.

I left the palace on my mare and galloped with speed to my house. What could have gone wrong? Had she not been able to get to my place? Had she been caught while trying to make an escape?

When I reached the house I at once made to go underground and there she was being helped to a chair by Lord Tibet’s daughter, I almost collapsed to the floor in relief.
