Ronan leaned forward then touched the boy's head, making Sasha look down in shame. Arielle stood up to welcome the arrival of the king.
"You have finished talking to Priest Elis."
"Hmm, that's how it is."
Ronan now turned to Arielle's side. He then asked the girl to sit back down. But this time, the man sat halfway between Arielle and Sasha.
The three of them sat side by side in front of the Altar. Sasha just looked down silently at the king's side, feeling unworthy to sit next to someone so great.
"I heard that someone took the Cathedral's ornaments in the name of Princess Arielle?" asked Ronan making Sasha's body stiffen for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong, Sasha just wanted-"
"Arielle, we're in the blessing hall. It's not very good to lie. Besides, I heard it myself earlier."
"You've been here ever since?"
Ronan nodded. "My talk ended early."
