“Before going to the Security Patrol, calm down a bit.”
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“The expression on your face right now, it looks like you’re going to kill someone right away. If you cause trouble at someone else’s workplace, it won’t end with just a resignation letter. Do you know who’s in charge of the Security Patrol? Prince William will be in trouble.”
Eric stared at Allen, who was speaking seriously, and smirked.
“Have you toughened up? Saying things like that?”
“What are you talking about? I also understand the atmosphere.”
“Don’t worry. When have you seen me go on a rampage?”
“Well, okay. Rampaging is your expertise, and stopping you is my role as a senior. Anyway, you don’t really have to worry, right? Right?”
“I got it. Since it’s noisy, shut up and follow quietly.”
After receiving a firm warning from Eric, Allen, seeming relieved, closed his mouth and followed Eric.
Upon Eric’s request, William, in the early morning, sent the maids to check on Alicia and even prepared clothes for her to change into.
Thanks to this, Alicia was able to recover her strength by soaking in hot water and preparing to return to her neat and clean appearance.
While sitting on the sofa and reviewing yesterday’s events for a moment, she heard a knock.
“Miss Lancaster. Are you in?”
Upon William’s voice, Alicia quickly tidied up her appearance and opened the door, and outside, William and Ross were standing together.
“Prince, greetings?”
“Hello, Miss Lancaster. How is your health?”
“I’m fine, Your Highness. I apologize for causing unnecessary concern. Also, thank you for taking care of me like this.”
Smiling awkwardly, Alicia expressed her gratitude to William.
Receiving the greetings, William glanced at Alicia for a moment, then smiled as if relieved.
“Fortunately, you look good. I heard you fainted, but do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“Oh, that.”
Alicia stammered in embarrassment, and William politely apologized.
“I’m really sorry. If I had known that you were so sensitive to alcohol, I wouldn’t have recommended it.”
“No, Your Highness. Usually, I’m fine with that amount, but I was probably more nervous yesterday. I didn’t feel it at all.”
“Is that so? Still, it’s better to have a checkup. Ross.”
At William’s command, Ross, who was waiting outside, opened the door and called a palace physician.
“Your Highness, I’m really fine.”
Alicia expressed her refusal as she looked embarrassed.
In the morning, she considered getting a checkup just in case, but after soaking in hot water, her condition improved, and she felt it was not necessary to undergo an examination.
However, William persistently insisted on the examination.
“Don’t say that and just take it easy. I felt guilty because of me. If you don’t do this much, I won’t be able to face Eric.”
Under William’s earnest persuasion, Alicia reluctantly nodded.
While the physician was examining her, William watched her with relief, and when the physician confirmed that there was nothing wrong, William smiled.
“That’s a relief, Miss Lancaster.”
“I’m sorry for causing you worry, Your Highness. But what happened yesterday? Eric didn’t tell me.”
“Oh.”
Seeing Alicia’s worried expression, William chuckled.
“I’ll tell you later from Eric. You did something praiseworthy yesterday.”
“Me?”
“You acted quite admirably.”
While saying that, William, who was smiling, caught Alicia’s puzzled gaze.
‘What on earth happened yesterday?’
“We’ve been waiting.”
“Hmm?”
As soon as they entered the Security Patrol, Eric and Allen were surprised when the person in charge of the Security Patrol came out personally, actively welcoming them.
“Prince Harry ordered us to cooperate actively when the Marquis arrives.”
“Prince Harry?”
Eric squinted his eyes and stared at the Security Patrol in charge, who welcomed him.
“He often saw Eric with Prince Harry.”
However, more than anything, Eric found it somewhat awkward to be associated with the Queen’s family.
But the atmosphere was unexpectedly welcoming.
Although he didn’t expect them to be openly hostile, he thought they wouldn’t be cooperative.
‘What kind of game is this?’
Skeptical, Eric took a seat as the head of the Security Patrol recommended.
“This is the interrogation record from this morning. These are the pieces of evidence we’ve collected so far.”
Eric, glancing through the report handed to him, casually spoke.
“Just to be clear, I’m only curious if the punishment will be carried out properly. I have no intention of obstructing the Security Patrol’s investigation.”
“That was a request we wanted to convey to Director Russell.”
“What do you mean?”
With a sarcastic tone, Eric looked at the man in front of him with a cold expression.
However, the head of the Security Patrol, rather than being intimidated, stared back at Eric confidently.
“It’s about the person who ordered to attack Miss Lancaster.”
“But?”
The head of the Security Patrol pushed the personal information he was holding in front of Eric.
