Tristan stared wide-eyed. He almost had a heart attack.
He stared at King Oberon closely. The tall and big old man had a serious face and an angry glint in his eyes.
Tristan wondered if King Oberon was angry at his daughter who refused the political marriage or at Tristan who said so confidently that King Oberon was good friends with a witch king.
Tristan squeezed his fingers that were on his thighs. He and King Oberon stared at each other. The atmosphere in the room became very tense, as if they were in a chess match.
Crown Princess Maristella did not dare to glance at her father. Her father did not show his anger at her now because King Tristan's words had taken over their attention.
Maristella did not expect King Tristan to bring up the news that he had gotten from who knows where. She thought that only she would reveal to her father why she refused the political marriage.
