Mabel’s brows furrowed as her gaze fell on the servant carrying two cabin bags.
"What are those?" she asked sharply.
"Your Majesty," the servant replied with a respectful bow, "Prince Gabriel and his mate are preparing to return to San Ravendale."
"At this hour?" Mabel’s eyes narrowed in surprise as she glanced around, noting their absence. "Where are they now?"
"They are on their way, Your Majesty," the servant replied, bowing slightly before continuing toward the foyer, dragging the cabin bags with him. Outside, a vehicle already stood ready and a driver stood outside it.
Moments later, Gabriel and Amelie entered the main hall. Mabel turned to face them with a composed expression.
"You both could have stayed here for the rest of the week," she said, her voice carrying a rare note of humility.
Gabriel coldly responded, "If the palace security hadn’t been breached, we would have," he answered, his fingers tightening around Amelie’s hand. Without sparing his mother another glance, he led Amelie toward the exit.
"At least see your father and brothers before you go," Mabel called out behind them.
But Gabriel didn’t stop. Not once did he look back at his mother.
Amelie quietly followed Gabriel to the car, slipping into the back seat without a word. The driver was already loading their bags into the trunk. A moment later, Karmen opened the front passenger door and got in, turning slightly to greet them.
"Your mother has come outside," he informed softly.
Curious, Amelie leaned forward and peered out of the window. She spotted Mabel standing on the palace steps. But Gabriel didn’t so much as glance in her direction.
"Drive," he instructed coldly.
The engine started, and the car pulled away, leaving the palace grounds behind. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Soon, they arrived at the private airport where a private jet awaited. Once on board, Amelie settled onto the plush sofa in the midsection of the cabin. She yawned, covering her mouth.
Gabriel knelt beside her, carefully draping a soft blanket over her legs.
"Sleep until we reach home," he whispered gently, a small smile tugging at his lips as he brushed a strand of hair away from her face.
Amelie gave him a faint nod, resting her head against the cushion.
"I’m not asleep," Amelie shook her head.
"Don’t push yourself. Your body demands rest," Gabriel whispered, sitting right beside her.
’It was my mother, who let Riley enter the palace. I know her. Without her permission, not a single leaf can move in the palace. But if I tell you this, you’ll be broken-hearted. You began trusting my mother, thinking she has developed a soft corner for you. But she hasn’t,’ Gabriel thought. He brought his hand to her head, caressing it gently.
