Chapter 453: Marquess Four Hours
Arthur couldn’t sleep a wink and he lied staring at the ceiling for a while. Reaching a decision, he got up.
I am going to meet my Iris!
He walked out of the Hotel through the side door since he knew there were paparazzi in the main entrance. He wondered how he could enter the palace without alerting anyone.
"Getting cold feet?"
Arthur almost jumped out of fright hearing that cold voice.
"Sir Robert! What are you doing here?" he grimaced.
"The Princess was right to ask me to tail you in case you run away. You thought it was that easy to abandon our Princess and-"
"I am not running away. I am going to meet her. Sir Robert, help me meet her," Arthur held his hand making Sir Robert uncomfortable. His hands have whitened with the force they were held by Arthur.
"But you cannot meet the bride the night before the wedding," Sir Robert freed his hands from Arthur’s deadly grip. He could see Arthur was very desperate, but rules are rules and he is a Kingsguard who has to uphold the rules.
The Princess did send him here, not because she thought he’d run away, but because she guessed her fiancé might want to meet her. But he didn’t want to tell him that.
"Look... Sir Robert!" Arthur dragged Sir Robert to a corner to avoid all the other bodyguards. "I’d followed all those customs before, right... when I was eighteen... I stayed away from her even though she was sleeping on my bed and I waited by the Reverand’s side waiting for her arrival the next day. She came... but she thought she was marrying someone else. Please, Sir Robert, take me to her. I will tell her that whatever happens, I will be there waiting for her...only me."
