As the seconds ticked away, the evening sky darkened and the streetlamps began to glow, casting soft lights over the neighborhood.
Frederick pulled up at the gates of Evergreen Enclave Manor, a place known for its strict security. Even from a distance, he could see a fleet of bodyguards patrolling outside a particular mansion.
Instead of heading straight in, he drove a block in the opposite direction and pulled up next to a sleek black SUV.
He rapped his knuckles on the driver’s window, which slowly rolled down to reveal a man with striking blond hair and blue eyes, who gave Frederick a sheepish grin.
“Lord Frederick,” the man, clad in a bulletproof vest, greeted him in English with a touch of respect.
Frederick responded in kind, though his tone carried a commanding presence that seemed to demand attention.
“Hard to keep up, isn’t it? Head back.”
The bodyguard's face turned serious. “Lord Frederick, the Chief has orders. If you insist on this path, he might have to involve the King to persuade you.”
Frederick remained stoic, unfazed by any threat.
“I won’t be told twice.”
“Lord Frederick, the Chief is just worried about you! Don’t make this harder for us.”
“What do I have to worry about? It’s my daughter who should be worried!”
