The next morning at breakfast, there was awkwardness among them all. No one opened their mouths to speak. Even the king and queen of Collins chose to remain silent due to the shame they had after the events of last night's party.
Anasthasya, who started the whole mess, was nowhere to be seen at the table. She was afraid to look at Dion and Jillian who were staring at her with a very threatening look.
She didn't think that they would go so far as to speak to her in such a cold tone. Moreover, Dion, who was originally very warm and kind, had done a 180° turn on her.
Since no one started the conversation, Dion finally opened his mouth first. "We will be leaving Collins this afternoon."
King Robert and his wife who heard this knew that Dion and Jillian should return to Keintheart the day after tomorrow. But they realized what had happened and said they would prepare a carriage for them to use today.
