(My father was very handsome, not bald!)
But then I realised something which left me dumbfounded.
(Right, I am not in a fairytale but a novel, and to top it off I don't even know how the king looked like since it wasn't mentioned in the novel.)
The bald man smiled upon Leo and me as he spoke .
"We have important trade business to discuss about the neighboring country."
I nodded, trying to look serious, while Leo lowered his head in agreement.
(Trade business? I had no idea what that entailed, ever since I failed my economy class.)
We were escorted to a large living room, where the butler served us with tea and biscuits, which was the last thing that helped me through this long conversation.
The bald man went on about tariffs and goods, and I did my best to nod at appropriate times.
(I hope they don't ask me anything about these, Leo can take care of it all, he seems like a good student in economy.)
