Three hours later, after Bella had freshened up and was now looking more presentable and every bit like the Princess she was, she and Dan sat before her parents and Ben, with Nicole seated beside Dan.
Both her parents noticed that she was now smiling genuinely and holding hands with Dan, which could only mean that they had resolved whatever issues they were having.
"I guess you both worked things out," King Stuart said, looking from Dan to Bella and then back again.
"Yes, your Majesty. First, I want to apologize for keeping her with me even after I realized who she was. I know you must have been very worried. I'm sorry for being selfish and letting you worry when I could have easily told you about her and save everyone the drama," Dan said, and the King nodded while Ben snorted.
"Drama indeed!"
"Ben, please," Bella said, looking at him with pleading eyes.
