"Did things go okay with the king?" Freya asked the moment Xavier started the car.
She noticed he was acting a little tense since returning to the hall room and she wasn't sure if it was because everyone was staring at them or because of the king. Either way, one thing was for sure.
Freya wasn't blind to the looks. She might have acted dumb, but her neck was constantly hot with all the stares. However, she knew better than to give into their curiosity. They could look, but she wasn't answering anything.
"It was… fine." Xavier answered. He was quiet for a moment as he took a turn to the palace gates. "But you should expect an invite from the palace soon. His majesty wasn't too pleased about not seeing you."
Freya pursed her lips at those words. "He wasn't too mad, was he?"
She knew that skipping the meeting was only delaying things, but when Xavier offered the option, she couldn't help but say yes. Mostly because she had no idea how to act around the king.
