Marcus POV
He’d wanted to go with her.
Seeing the hurt on such a strong capable woman’s face caused his own anxiety to spike. It went against every cell in his body to leave her side at such a crucial moment, but she insisted.
“I need to find out what’s going on. Alone,” She spoke, barely giving him time to reply before leaving with the messenger while Marcus stared after her.
She’s a strong, capable woman. He reassured himself, before dragging his feet back to his room. He needed to update his unit on the situation. Walking through the hallways, he noticed a lot of guards were present within the castle walls. He glanced out of one of the large windows and noticed guards were surrounding the castle as well. They were all wearing a full suit of armor as if they were preparing for war.
