Outside the room, Andre left with his children, leaving Brandon and Ester alone. Staring at them, Brandon didn't notice Ester peeking towards him with a strange gaze. "My- Brandon," Ester called out to him, finally getting his attention. Looking down at her, she met his cold gaze and subtly flinched.
"What is Ester?" The woman sighed and nodded for him to follow. Slowly, they walked through the Hampton Palace, Ester looking around, admiring the artworks that filled the halls.
"I've been wondering. You're a smart man, Brandon; lord knows you were running the kingdom for long enough." Ester said with a joking tone. Getting shot a hard glare, he spoke.
"Enough." Brandon said with a cold voice, "Get to the point."
