"Engagement?" Frederik's face turned ugly the moment he read the notification flashing across his phone.

Still groggy from sleep, he sat up and scrubbed a hand down his face. Before he could process anything, his phone buzzed again. His grandfather's name lit up the

Frederik answered without thinking. "Yes?"

"This could be a stunt to clean up the mess from the assault accusations. Do you understand? Focus on the agenda. Make sure the others don't get soft because of a few headlines."

Frederik exhaled slowly through his nose, gripping the edge of the counter. "I understand."

"Good," his grandfather said before hanging up without a goodbye.
