I shook my head. "You're right, but… Allison, he's not fighting you. He's protecting you." I could see the fear of losing her during their argument.
Allison scoffed and walked away. I chuckled nervously and followed him. This was my first time facing such a powerful king. Among all these young kings, Ethan is the most popular and the most powerful.
"Your Highness," I called carefully. He stopped and turned to look at me. Feeling pressured, I immediately lowered my gaze.
"I'm sorry to speak out of place, but Henry isn't the one behind the bars. He's just a pawn."
That got his attention. He turned fully toward me, focused.
"What are you trying to say?"
"It's what your wife wanted to tell you too. I'm sorry for eavesdropping, but I don't want you to misunderstand her because I was the one who told her about Henry."
I managed to look up and saw his brow lift.
