Prince Edward looked calm on the surface, but deep inside, he was brimming with excitement.
Every time he had gone out of the academy, his guards had always come along to escort him, which deterred everyone from getting close to him.
As a prince, he understood that his safety was their top priority. However, he also wanted to mingle with the people of his kingdom without worrying about formalities.
He was wearing a commoner's get-up and a matching cap that hid his hair. Alex had also used a special kind of paint to add freckles to the prince's face, making him look unrecognizable even to those who saw him in the academy everyday.
Alex wasn't taking any chances. If the King really decreed for Prince Edward and Astrea to be engaged together, it would be a very difficult situation to overturn.
Also, he better make sure that no harm would come to the prince during their incognito trip to the city.
