But here...
She bit her finger. This was a tricky situation. "Your Highness, how about we call for Aaron?"
The mention of Aaron made Ashley Bowen pause. It was strange, but she realized she hadn't seen him at all since she'd returned.
Normally, if she said to fire someone, Yuri Sinclair would have them gone immediately. If she told him to give someone a raise, that person would be grinning the very next day, talking about their pay increase.
This morning, she had told Yuri Sinclair to send Aaron back to the army. 'Could it be...?'
'If Aaron's really gone, what will Yuri do?'
A sudden wave of regret washed over Ashley Bowen. She'd spoken without thinking this morning, and now that she was faced with a problem, she was desperate to fix it.
Ashley Bowen froze on the spot, but Yuri Sinclair said lightly, "Just call two guards over to carry me down."
'From his tone, it sounds like Aaron was really sent away.'
"Okay, Your Highness. Wait here, I'll go get them."
