Sylas felt tired. His royal clothes were so tight they made him feel hot. He was grateful to finally be back in his room.
He walked with calm, steady steps. The sound of his shoes echoed in the corridor along with the footsteps of Amos and the guards.
As he passed through the living room, he heard someone calling. He turned his head at the same time as Amos, who was standing guard.
Elias's guard came rushing over.
"Your Royal Highness, forgive me for disturbing you, but there's something I must give you," he said, panting. The guard was one of Adrien's trusted knights before being assigned to guard Elias.
"What is it?" Sylas asked, surprised. He rarely had any contact with Elias and wasn't sure what business the man could possibly have with him.
"Lord Elias asked me to give this to you." The guard handed him a scroll.
But when Sylas was about to open it, the guard stopped him. "Lord Elias gave this letter to me personally. He wants you to read it alone, Your Royal Highness."
