章 232: Sick?

"Why is Bella not here?" Queen Heather asked as she and the King joined Ben, who was already seated at the dining table.

"She is probably oversleeping as usual. Good morning, father. Mother," Ben greeted them without meeting their gaze.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to let her go with Prince Dan to his kingdom? Waking up late is not a habit befitting for a princess," King Stuart said, and Ben's ears perked up as he looked at his father, wondering what he was talking about. Was he changing his mind concerning Bella's marriage to Prince Dan? Or has Prince Dan said something to them?
