I can't afford for anyone to know what happened between Lord. Titus and me.

"He's among the few who welcomed me into the palace when I arrived," I briefly explained. I didn't try to add more details in order for me not to give away more than I should. "And you know him as?"

"As the king's Chief Minister, did I get it wrong? Was he not the Chief Minister?" I
