“Your Highness! Your Highness!”
Cassandra frowned, waking up from all the ruckus. Next to her, Kairen was just sitting up too, with a pissed expression. What was going on for them to be woken up so early? She could hear several servants outside, desperate to get their attention.
She had a bad feeling about this. What could it be? They wouldn’t have dared to wake up the Prince in the middle of the night if it wasn’t urgent. Kairen left the bed, grabbing his sword as a reflex, and Cassandra took her night robe to cover herself up too, following him to the door.
As they opened it, a handful of imperial servants bowed.
“Our apologies for waking the Third Prince and his Lady Concubine at such an hour! His Highness the Emperor is requesting your presence immediately!”
“Cassandra too?”
