Chapter 3
––––––––
“Bless the person who invented showers.” I sighed, pulling the shower cap off my head and shaking out all of my curls. When I came to my room the first thing I did was take a much-needed shower, and now I felt much better.
Buzz.
Buzz.
Who in the world? Grabbing the robe, I slid open the doors to the bathroom and walked into the living room.
“Who is it?” I asked before reaching the door.
“Room service,” a woman said.
Checking the pinhole, I saw the cart in front of her. Food? Oh, right, the lunch the manager promised.
Opening the door, I took a step to the side.
“Thank you. You can just put it on the dining table,” I directed, moving back toward my room when all of a sudden, someone poked their head out from under the white cloth of the cart.
“What the hell?” I screamed, backing up.
“Don’t panic, miss. It’s me!” the man said, coming out while taking off his glasses and hat. It was only then I recognized his freckled face.
“Wolfgang?”
“Long time, no see, miss.” He grinned, fixing his shirt.
“Sorry, he had, uh, a badge.” The server struggled with her English, looking even more terrified than I did. Her gaze shifted between Wolfgang and me worriedly.
“It’s fine.” I nodded at her. I started walking to the bedroom to get my wallet to tip her, but she quickly left the suite before I could even say another word, leaving me with the ever-happy Wolfgang just standing there.
“Can you explain to me what mission impossible stunt you are pulling right now?”
“I will, but please get dressed. We need to go quickly.”
“Go? What do you mean, go? I’m not going anywhere until you start explaining. How did you even know I was here?”
“You wrote it on your immigration form. I have a friend from the academy who works at EIM—oh, you don’t know what that is. It’s the Ersovian Immigration Ministry. Anyway, I asked him to let me know if you ever entered the country. I knew you would come eventually.”
He was barely making sense, and I was too tired to keep trying to think. “Okay, whatever, it’s good you are here anyway. I need to get in contact with Gale.”
“That’s what I’m here to do! The princess is waiting in the car, and we will be going to the palace. She said not to worry if you do not have the appropriate attire, she will handle everything. Truthfully, she was the one who wanted to come up, but we couldn’t allow that, so she is waiting in the car with Iskandar—”
“Wolfgang.”
