At the banquet, William indeed recognized many familiar faces, but he didn't greet any of them.
Lila, Edward, Edward's mother Piper, and his new disciple Alice were all present at the banquet.
After all, these families have been acquaintances for generations. How could they miss Brian Bell's banquet?
It was only then that Lila and the others noticed William. It was inevitable, given that all eyes turned their way when Daniel Bell made his unexpected entrance.
Was William actually with Bella?
This seemed quite peculiar. Could it be that Bella had taken a liking to William?
Or, as they discussed in their group chat the previous night, perhaps one of their families had an arranged marriage with William, and Bella was the intended bride.
Alice, representing the Turner family, came to congratulate Brian Bell and was equally surprised to see her master with Bella.
