The Runaway Groom

Isaac had no idea, nor did he understand Barzel's temper since he had never met Barzel before.

However, there was every chance that someone was controlling him, especially with that attitude...

"Have someone keep an eye on him. See who he's contacting, but if there's no one forcing him, pay him off."

Isaac was obviously not keen on having anything to do with someone like that boy.

"Okay. I'll get it done right now," Zachary replied, worried that Barzel could give him the slip.

As Isaac returned into the castle, Irene asked, "Who was it?"

Isaac told her everything, adding, "He was asking for money."

"Give it to him. His parents did save you," Irene said.

She was grateful toward Barzel's parents and there was no question that Isaac was safe because of their help—the gratitude must be considered.

“I know," Isaac replied.

He would not miss the money because he could earn it again, and Barzel was not asking for that much.
