Chapter 16: Scheming wife
It had been over an hour since when Abrielle excused herself to go to the dressing room. Cedric didn't have the luxury of time to play whatever silly game she had in mind because he had another reason for visiting this town.
"How long will she take to try on coats?" Cedric asked, sounding a bit impatient.
"She is a lady; she is taking her dear time, your highness." Cedric personally knighted, and the head of his elite shadow knights, Elias, answered from beside them.
Cedric's gut feeling was telling him something was off. He got up from his seat and started making his way to the door. "Which changing room is she in?" Cedric asked the maid who had been checking up on Abrielle.
"She is on the ground floor, Sire." The maid informed Cedric, causing his brows to furrow. What was Abrielle doing on the ground floor for commoners? That was when Cedric realized his scheming wife was up to something.
"Lead the way," Cedric said in a firm voice. He had a slight frown on his face, and they made their way to the ground floor. Cedric's appearance sparked rumours, although not everyone knew what the first prince looked like, from his clothes and gold mask, it was not hard to guess.
The manager wanted to stop him from entering the female dressing room area, but who was he to stop Cedric? The dressing room area was vacated for him to get to the area. By now, Sarah could sense something was off and was making a silent prayer that Abrielle would Suddenly appear.
"Sire, it is inappropriate." The manager tried to reason with him but he saw nothing wrong with going inside his wife's dressing room.
They were in front of the booth Abrielle was meant to be in. Compared to the ones in the VIP area, these booths were considerably small, which made Cedric super suspicious.
