Bennett would rarely see Adeline smiling like that. So he could not help but ask the Princess if she had heard some good news.
Adeline was caught off-guard by that question. She thought that she was hiding her smiles but it looked like she was not doing a good job at hiding them. She gave an awkward smile and then blurted out some lie, "No… Actually, I had been to the Ethereal River yesterday. And I was recalling the peace that the river's sound gave me."
"You really had a good time then." Bennett's eye then caught a glimpse of the messy shelf.
Adeline felt as though he saw Theodore. She quickly followed his gaze and looked behind her. Theodore was standing at the other side of the room. But then she saw the mess that they had made. She nervously smiled and then said, "I was looking for a file earlier. But I ended up making a mess instead."
