Capítulo 50: Torture

"It was nothing serious," King Arnold responded, not explaining further on the situation and Bel didn't want to cause any misunderstanding so she simply nodded.

Her father held Bel's gaze for a second and then looked away. The situation seemed to have diffused and Bel let out a breath she wasn't even aware of holding.

Malissa Furth sat next to her as dinner began. The conversations were slow as they started to eat and Bel found herself fighting the urge to look in  King Arnold's direction. She looked up at her father wondering what he was thinking about the current situation. However, his face gave nothing away.

King Arnold and his son, however, were quiet throughout the meal. However, he made sure she never forgot his presence by the glances he shot her way. Bel thought the situation was ridiculous.
