Chapter 0204
Dylan POV.
Well, happy birthday to me!
Yes, the day was my 18th birthday, my first birthday waking up completely alone. Freddie wasn't there to jump
on top ofshouting the song happy birthday at the top of his voice... my mom wasn't there to givea huge
hug or wisha good day. Nick wasn't going to pop around to giveeighteen birthday digs like usually did.
There was nothing but a silent and empty RV.
Also, Despite feeling like a new person with an actual goal other than moping around and waiting for something
to happen, | barely slept a wink.

It made no sense.
I had always slept just fine on my own, | never even used to like Freddie climbing into my bed after a nightmare
or something, and now, you would think | could sleep better being completely on my own after everything king
Josh had putthrough, but I just couldn't. No matter how hard | tried last night, sleep just wouldn't find me. |
found myself thinking about Lewis, and how much comfort he providedjust by being in his presence. | had
never slept as well as | did the other night with him.
Every t| would think about him my heart would begin to race and my palms would get all sweaty. | found the
man extremely attractive, and the fact that he was willing to do anything within his power to helpwas a real
turn on. | suppose you could say | had a school girl crush. My first crush at that.
| was at one point fairly certain that | could never be with anyone ever again after everything that had
happened. However Lewis, might be the exception. No one else madefeel a safe and
wanted as he did. He was a genuine ray of sunshine in my otherwise really shitty life. | wondered what he was up
to right now, probably something outdoors, he spent most of his tthere.
| slipped on sthin leggings and a t-shirt and began a small jog, the first thing to do would be to get my
stamina back up preferably to even better than it was before | went to the palace. | planned to go jogging around
the lake at least twice a day. Naturally | was out of breath in no time, | don’t even think 2 minutes had past by
properly, | hadn't realized how bad my actual stamina had gotten. Although | had spent most of my tin the
palace either isolated in a dungeon cell or in the hospital wing getting medical treatment, so | was bound to get
out of breath quickly.
“Don’t push yourself too hard will you?” | heard a voice call out which promptedto turn to the source. Elias,
Lewis dad stood staring atwhile holding a small cup of water in his right hand. “Here, you need this more
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthan | do.” He chuckled while holding his cup out in front of him forto take. Naturally | did and drank the
entire contents in less than twenty seconds.
“Thank you.” | smiled awkwardly at the man as he just stared at my face. He frowned and squinted before finally
asking the question that was on his mind.
“Did you not sleep well?” Ahhh, I should have known he would notice to be honest. Lewis had to get his intuition
from somewhere, although thinking about it, | had yet to meet his mom... not that | would force him to introduce
me, that would just be weird.
“Ahh, not really. | got carried away watching the news and my mind bectoo active.” Poor Elias widened his
eyes at this revelation and he took a small step forward.
“Your grace, you shouldn't be watching the news, what's being broadcasted, well let's just say it doesn’t show
the king in the best light.” Huh? | had only really seen the news footage of the sixteen stages burning, | hadn't
even thought about any other. We'd articles that may have been transmitting. | wonder what king Josh was doing «
for Lewis's dad to be concerned aboutwatching it.
