His head was reeling. Matthias was trying to understand everything Kat had just told him but the very idea of a child he had fathered running around without his knowledge was too much. As he left the tea room and his sister behind the Dutch prince made his way through the castle hastily, nearly barreling over one poor maid who was tidying up. No, the mad didn’t even apologize and the maid’s huff of disapproval barely registered as he continued towards Solveig’s door.
His hand slammed down on the wood, desperate knocks following while he called out. “Sol! Solveig I don’t care what the hell you’re doing, I need you to open the door.” Matthias was aware that his voice was carrying through the hall and others would probably be alerted to his frantic pleas but this was too important. His image could wait. Damage control could be done later but right now he just needed his best friend to open the door.
And when she finally did everything he wanted to say flew from his mind and the only words he could think of spilled from his lips. “Tell me it’s a joke.” He knew it wasn’t. Kat had made that very clear before he’d run off, but he really wanted her to say that it was. Because if Matthias had fathered a child with her and Solveig had kept it from him all this time, if it wasn’t a cruel prank they were playing on him, he’d never be able to trust this woman again. And she was one of the people he’d thought he’d always be able to rely on. Not to mention the fact that he had a child. That one...that one was the hardest thing to believe. “Tell me she was just angry and using some wild story to get back at me.”
