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.
