He straightened his back. “And…and you rule the kingdom and everybody is your subject.”

“Why did you try to run away from me?”

Callahan gave a mirthless chuckle and raised his hands in the air before they fell limply by his sides, smacking his thighs.

“Do I know? Of course, I do. What do you think I am? A stupid fool? That guy was trapping you and you fell for his trap like
