When Prince Nigel entered the hall, the King had already gotten up from his throne and other guests were also loitering around. So he did not attract much attention when he entered the banquet hall. He quietly moved his feet to the front of the hall where his maternal relatives were sitting.
His mind was still lingering around in his previous encounter with the Devil. "Why did he say that he was Adeline's guardian? Was he inside the room when I went to Adeline's room to wish her? I could smell something… powerful and I am definitely sure that it was him. Does Adeline even know that the Devil was inside her room?"
Nigel was so lost in his thoughts that he did not even realize that he had already reached to the table and was sitting beside his cousin. He did not even greet his relatives. He just sat there, resting his chin on his palm, and thinking away.
