"Your Highness, Master..."
Felix stood outside the gazebo, still panting. Shadows of the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves of the ancient tree that sheltered the gazebo appeared on his face.
"Can I come inside?" He asked apprehensively. He could see that the prince was displeased by his intrusion.
"And why not? Come here. I'll show you an improved version of the stethoscope. You can also check the prince's heartbeat."
Felix lingered at the threshold, his gaze fixed intently on Alaric. An unsettling trepidation coiled within him. He understood that he needed Alaric's nod of approval before he could dare to step over the threshold.
And as if there was a prior agreement between the two, Agilus also arrived. When he saw that Lara was wearing a dress, he whistled. But then he felt the usual chill run down his spine. He could only stop and silently complain.
"You looked different in a dress, Kane, ... I mean Lara," Agilus said the moment he entered the gazebo.
