Chapter 184: In need of a servant
"Your Highness, the young lady has returned," Zerah announced, opening the door with a resounding thud. Startled from his deep slumber, Izaak jerked awake, momentarily disoriented.
"What? What did you say?" he mumbled, rubbing his eyes as he tried to gather his bearings.
Zerah repeated the same words and Izaak was quick to step out of the carriage. "Stay here. When I signal, then bring the items to her house," he instructed Zerah and walked ahead.
Izaak finally reached the front of Melody’s small house and walked in. He saw one lamp glowing outside the hut, making the path visible. He halted before the door and knocked on it.
A minute later, Melody opened the door and was shocked to see the prince standing before her. "Your Highness!" she exclaimed in surprise. She was so captivated by his red-golden eyes that she forgot to ask why he was there.
"Will you not welcome me inside?" Izaak asked, bringing her out of the trance.
"In-inside?" Melody was confused. How could she let him in when the house wasn’t like the palace, where he lived? But the question was why Izaak even wanted to enter her house.
Izaak read her expressions. "Well, I thought to provide you with some items," he stated and glanced at Zerah, who was present on the other side of the house. He signaled him to come there with those items.
"Some items? But why, Your Highness?" Melody queried. Her long skirt had mud stains in many places, which made Izaak feel more upset.
