Chapter 11 Little Intruder

• Tobias paced back and forth in his main chamber, his mind racing with thoughts and plans, his eyes flickering with uncertainty and suspicion. He knew that he couldn't keep Scarlett confined forever, but he also couldn't risk letting her go until he was sure of her intentions.
• A few moments earlier, he knew that the intruder who had sent him the message was still lurking in the palace, and he was determined to catch them. He had stationed guards at every entrance and exit, and was monitoring the palace closely. The intruder must have had no time to escape, and he was determined to catch them before they could cause any more trouble.
• He ordered his guards to be on high alert and scoured the palace from top to bottom, searching for any sign of the intruder. But as the hours passed, it seemed as though the intruder had vanished without a trace.
