This man carried an undeniable presence. His bearing radiated authority, and his physique was unmistakably that of a seasoned military officer.
The Taylors exchanged uneasy glances.
Jonah, however, remained calm, his gaze steady as the man approached. Without hesitation, the stranger lowered his head in reverence before the crowd. Then, dropping to one knee, he declared, "I am Dexter McGrath, head of security for the royal family. It is an honor to meet you, Prince Jonah."
Everyone was floored. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie—grand, surreal, and unforgettable.
Even Julien, standing by, looked on in sheer bewilderment. He knew customs varied across nations, but to witness such absolute submission left him shaken.
Kontina was no ordinary constitutional monarchy. Its royal family wielded genuine military power, unlike the largely symbolic monarchies elsewhere.
In other words, as the prince of Kontina, the love of Julien's life would eventually share equal power over the country with the nation's president. For now, it could be said that Jonah was above everyone else, second only to King Anthony.
It was staggering.
"It must have been a long journey. Thank you for coming," Jonah said warmly, helping Dexter rise with effortless grace.
Some people carried nobility in their very bones. Though Jonah had never lived among the royals nor received noble training, his elegance was innate.
"Not at all. It is my absolute honor to be of service to you," Dexter replied in an extremely respectful and sincere tone.
His best friend, Jasper, had once shared that Jonah was not just a brother-in-arms, but family. Dexter was not about to let his best friend down. Once they returned to the palace, he would do his very best to protect the future king.
"It's getting late, Prince Jonah. We should depart," he urged.
