The castle was unusually silent and solemn, as if anticipating something of great importance to happen and shake its very foundation.
Everyone tried to remain calm and occupy themselves as much as possible to avoid thinking about Bella, who still hadn't returned from her trip to the chapel. This task, however, proved to be difficult, and a shared restlessness followed every single castle dweller, no matter what they did or where they went.
