After breakfast the next day, Bella paced around her bedroom restlessly as her gaze kept moving to the wall clock from time to time.
The King had told her and Ben about Dan's and Nicole's arrival the previous day at dinner, and She had been startled at the news. The fact that he wasn't only coming but would be staying at the castle the entire time only agitated her.
They had been informed that the Prince had arrived at the airport during breakfast and he would be arriving at the palace any time soon. Every time she glanced at the hands of the clock and saw that it had moved from its previous position, her stomach did a somersault. She was not ready to see or talk to anyone yet.
How was she supposed to behave around someone she didn't love or even know? How was she even supposed to pretend to be BFF with someone she knew next to nothing about except for all that Ben had tried to tell her?
"Calm down, your highness," Joan said as she watched Bella.
