Chapter 121: Father has never trusted me
The next morning:
"Your Highness, the King wants everyone to be at the breakfast table, including Princess Alora," Tobias informed him. The physician had done the dressing and told the prince his wound would be healed in one or two days.
Magnus dismissed him and then put on his shirt. "Why did suddenly Father want me and Alora on the same dining table as the others?" he queried as he buttoned his shirt. Tucking it inside his trousers, he headed to the dressing chamber while Tobias closely followed him.
"His Majesty must have thought that it’s the time to embrace his daughter-in-law in the family," Tobias opined. Other than this, he didn’t have any satisfactory response for the prince.
"You are wrong, Tobias. At the dining table, my mother and father will have better opportunities to make feel Alora low. Already she is stressed. I think you should tell my father that we won’t join them for breakfast," Magnus clarified to him.
Tobias helped Magnus dress up further and said, "Your Highness, it’s been a long time since you will be with your parents, having meals. I know your diet isn’t like the others, but the food is made according to your choice." Tobias did his best to convince Magnus as he tucked the broach at the top of Magnus’s collar, he added, "Princess Alora also desires to be a part of this family. You should definitely join them for breakfast today."
Magnus contemplated for a moment before agreeing to Tobias’s suggestion. He wore the waistcoat, followed by an embellished and intricately woven overcoat. His hair was done and he was ready to see Alora.
As Magnus came to the drawing-room, he found Alora with a blindfold in her eyes with Selvina. "Why did you wear that?" He asked.
"I cannot go with naked eyes in front of the King and the Queen," Alora replied.
