Nikolas closed his eyes slowly and ran a hand over his face and through his deep brown waves. I heard him mumble something about ‘the Maker’ under his breath. Opening his eyes, he looked to me with that same troubled look that begged my understanding. “She’s somewhere in that direction, mate.” Liam offered, jerking a thumb over his shoulder to the left. Liam looked at me now. “You look well, Princess.” Nikolas turned to him and if his eyes could’ve spit fire I believe they would have. “Tell me, Liam… or do you prefer William? What brings you to this particular wing of the castle? You are aware that the royal apartments are housed here and only the royal family is allowed?” Nodding and smirking, Liam responded. “Liam, please. And forgive my boldness Sir Nikolas, but doesn’t that beg the same question of you then?” The Nikolas I’d first met made his appearance then, flashing a grin and a knowing look at Liam. He folded his arms across his chest and tilted his head to side. “Did I not mention? There are quarters here as well for on duty Royal Guardsmen…as well as a permanent residence for the head of the Royal Guard.”
