Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 142 Home sweet home

More guards approached them instantly. They took one look at William and bowed at the waist before they let their group pass through the tall gates. Something about the air smelled so familiar, it made her stomach turn. She wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or bad thing yet.

“Your majesty, we didn’t expect you back! It’s good to see you!” They called as he passed them.

“Yes, I could say the same.” William muttered as he started to climb the steps.

“I’m sorry, sir. But I was told not to allow you inside the palace.” Howard said evenly. Those words hit all of them like a blow, but not nearly as hard as it hit William. What the hell was this man talking about?
