The first thing that Iris noticed when they arrived at this quiet restaurant was the extravagant carriage in the color of dark purple in front of it. This place was not usually almost empty like this, but it was intentionally cleared because there was an important figure inside, as you could see a few royal warriors guarding this building.
Only those Princes, Princesses and all the royal family, were allowed to take the royal warriors.
Cane dismounted the horse and helped Iris to get down too, as one of the royal warriors approached them and took the horse away.
"We will eat with Prince Kellan," Cane informed Iris.
Hearing that name, she stiffened. A rush of uneasiness washed over her, she felt like she wanted to flee from this place, but instead, she let Cane pull her into the building.
Iris did not know why she felt like this. She was almost sure she had never had any problem with Prince Kellan before. She barely remembered him, but why was the thought of him so dreadful?
On the other hand, Cane glanced at Iris, he saw how sluggish she was. She lowered her head and clutched her dress tightly, something that she always did when she felt uncomfortable.
However, Cane couldn’t figure out the reason for it. She was fine just a moment ago.
A warrior walked them to the second floor and opened the first door on the left, letting them walk inside, while Ethan and Redmon stood on guard with the other royal warriors outside.
This room was not too big and there was only one table with four chairs in the middle of the room. The wall was white with a lot of pictures hanging on it. The air was filled with a citrus fragrance when they stepped in.
Prince Kellan was sitting on his wheelchair, staring out through a huge window; the sky was clear and the winter sun was dim.
The Prince turned his head when Cane and Iris approached the table. His smile was so warm, like a morning sun, as his eyes lit up gently.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you both," Prince Kellan said in his pleasant voice. He looked exceptionally gorgeous in this dark purple robe. No wonder people liked him, because he had this charm to him that could make people comfortable to be close to him.
However, Iris still felt uneasy at the sight of Prince Kellan.
Cane took her to sit next to him, facing the Prince. He then got engaged in a conversation with the Prince. But Iris kept staring at her fingers, fiddling with her dress.
"The pleasure is mine," Cane replied.
