I hefted my go bag over my shoulder and locked eyes with him. “What is the schedule for the rest of the day?”

The others only led to other secret passages that took one to another area of the castle. “Where have you been?” Prince Daro snapped. “You are late. It is dangerous for me to be standing out here waiting on your ass, Sire Jaze.”
