#Chapter 32 a wavering village

William POV

Alec had a habit of always sleeping during these meetings. His crib was set up close to William's chair and no one was allowed to disturb him unless they wanted to be kicked from the room.
William was impressed that he never woke even when the meetings got a little tense and loud, if only he could sleep that deep when his mind wouldn't rest.

"Where are they?" William asked his guards.

They looked at each other and offered a small shrug before they turned back to their king. "We haven't seen them, your majesty. This morning they went to the villages but they haven't returned."

William curled his hands into fists under the table. It wasn't the first time the rulers had showed up late or tried to show some sort of sign that they were the ones in control. He knew they did this on purpose despite the way they always tried to act like it was an accident.

It was enough to make him want to throw them and their smug faces back to their kingdom, but what intrigued him more was their business in his village. They were rulers of another kingdom, it wasn't common to want to check out another village unless they had a reason to.

"Prepare my horse, I'd like to see what kept them in my village." William said as he stood. He gathered Alec in his arms and went to take him to Doris before he left. If only he could remain unseen to the villagers, he didn't want to cause a scene.
