Mirabella swallowed and nodded timidly before relaxing her shoulders. She sneakily glanced at the king, who winked at her. Her cheeks flushed red, and she fixed her gaze on her plate, avoiding eye contact with anyone at the dining table.
On the other hand, Senara keenly observed the new man sitting at the table, dressed in an elegant suit and with his hair styled neatly, exuding a regal presence. She wondered who he was, as she had never seen him in the palace before.
Of course, she couldn't tell he was the king's father. Claudius had already changed his appearance, and now he shared no resemblance with his son, something he was obviously not pleased about.
"Your Majesty, may I ask who these new people are?" It was Amarisse who finally spoke, unable to contain her curiosity any longer.
One look at the refined man, and her aged heart was already fluttering. Such a handsome figure, surely she would remember if she had ever seen him before.
