Arren, who was beside Spade, saw it even more clearly than the others and the sound seemed to be much louder in his ears. His hand abruptly covered his mouth amidst his surprised gasp.

Spade moved his jaw, and slowly turned his head again in front as he met his Royal Mother's furious gaze. He didn't even bother wiping the blood in the corner of his lips after his teeth collided with the side of his cheek from that hard slap.
