William's POV

Enzo was harder to track down than he should've been. He was breathless by the time William found him on the second floor by an old nursery. William grabbed his arm and hauled him into a random room.

"Nice to see you too!" Enzo said and straightened himself. William closed the door on his guards from following them in. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, he just had to be careful. It seemed everyone in the palace had started to look at him differently.

“What did you learn?" William asked. He didn't want to admit that he was relieved to have Enzo here. He always handled things with a sense of ease that not many people could have. Still, Enzo would never let him forget it if he did admit a horrible thing like that.

"The entire place is talking about you—and not in a flattering way. There's a different stream of gossip down every hallway you turn."

"Enzo. What sort of things are being said?" William asked impatiently.

"They think you're trying to sell the kingdom to those rulers you have visiting. Others heard that you are bringing in some... bad people to help decide things for your villages. As for the rest of the rumors... I think it would be best if you didn't hear those."

"I have to get them out of my palace." William muttered. "I don't know why it feels as if something worse has happened. I can't put my finger on it, it's more of a gut feeling."
