Adeline was still with her father who was lying unconscious on his bed. The Royal Healer was examining Dragomir's body.
And after the healer was done examining the King, he turned to look at Adeline and asked, "Your Highness, you were with His Majesty when he fainted?"
Adeline nodded her head and replied, "Yes, I was with him."
"Was he in some stressful situation before he fainted?" the healer asked non-accusingly.
Adeline felt a slight pang in her heart after that question. She reflected back upon their conversation for a while from her father's perspective. Finding out that his daughter is in love with the Devil must have been stressful for him, she thought.
And she replied while drowning herself in guilt, "I think so."
