I could not find any traces of trance on Papa's face no matter how many times I looked for it. It felt as though he was back to his normal self. Way before the wedding incident.
No more anxiety.
No more constant apologies.
No more being upset about the wedding.
Rather, he was quite happy the wedding went without a hitch like the very day he made that announcement.
Looking at all the faces of the guests, none was weirded out by the sudden change of atmosphere.
Am I hallucinating? Is this all happening in my head? No, it can't be. I clearly remembered Papa's sobbing pleas when he asked me to cancel the wedding. It must be none other than him. After all, Papa's emotion turned three sixty after talking to King Wystan.
As I have no intention to stop there and question myself all day long, I marched my way down angrily towards King Wystan.
