Chapter 462: Another failed promise.

You know when they say that the moment you miss school for one day, that's when all the fun things happen, right? That was exactly what had happened to Harold. But the difference was that nothing about what had happened was fun. He still could not wrap his head around it. None of it made sense. But no matter how hard he tried to deny it, he had seen the signs. 

Where does he start? Ask why and how long he has been asleep? Ask how and why Alicia was unconscious? Ask why all around the palace was very noisy when he woke up, even though it was late at night and the night guards should already be out?

He didn't even have time to think about the strange encounter he had just had.

Alvin was beside him when he woke up in his dimly lit chamber. He had never seen Alvin so broken. Usually, Alvin was a very strong person. But when he saw Harold stir awake, tears filled his eyes, and he embraced Harold even before he could sit up, sobbing quietly on his shoulders.
