Eleanora's Pov~
"Do you wish to say something, princess?"
I blinked as Father suddenly bent down to meet my eyes as he spoke and I pressed my lips together in a thin line. He must have caught me staring at him as I was totally shocked by his behavior.
Did he do the same before too?
Stuffing cotton in his ears so that he doesn't have to listen?
But putting that aside, I was concerned for something else.
"A-Are you... alright?"
"I mean... your...injury?"
My eyes automatically moved down in guilt as I spoke, he was unconscious even before I left for the party and then I sensed his warm hands holding me by my shoulders.
