Chapter 328: The crown priness is back.
The news of the possible snake invasion caught Roland off guard. When had such a thing happened and why had he not received and warning about it.
"Rudbeck." he bellowed, calling out the knight that was relaxing on duty, playing cards with three others right outside the open door of Roland’s office.
Rudbeck tipped the chair backwards and peeked into the office. "You called, your highness."
Roland rifled through the documents he had received that morning, meant for review. "Where the bloody hell are my advisors? And my secretary. Why has no one told me about a snake invasion? I am receiving messages from the royal communications office demanding to know what my official response is on the matter."
"You sent them away because you needed room to breathe." Rudbeck reminded him.
Roland grunted in response. "Then you tell me what is going on with the snakes. Have you seen any in the castle?" He held out his palm before Rudbeck could answer.
Picking up his phone, he called his wife. He needed to warn her about the snake troubles, real or false. No matter how many times he called, Sigrid did not answer the phone.
Pacing so hard as if he was on a mission to wear out the carpet in his office, he prepared himself to make the fifth call.
"I have great news." Sir Samuel dashed into the office, interrupting Roland. "The crown princess is moving back. Her maids have returned, Christie too, she is supervising the unloading of the luggage right now."
Roland rushed out of the office, running to his wife’s chambers like his life depended on it. He nearly stepped on Sunny that was happily jumping on the stairs of the second floor.
When the dog noticed its master and his men running, it grew excited and joined them. This prompted all of Roland’s other dogs on the second and third floor to join in the great race, barking with excitement.
