Dante started to make his way back to Ophelia's side. He didn't need to add his name to a list as yet, but he used the chance to test if he left Ophelia alone, would she be well?
So far, Ophelia got away from her family and made a friend.
Dante smiled as he knew quite well that Ophelia would scold him for breaking his own rule. It was the consequence of having a wife who never forgets.
"Why are you smiling, Lord Hastings?" Rick inquired, puzzled by Dante's pleasant mood.
"I am in good spirits and enjoying myself. Would you prefer that I walk around with a frown?" Dante asked.
"No. I am just surprised you are in a good mood. Everyone around you doesn't share your happiness. The men are grumbling, so when the king arrives, they might complain and ask that you sit out. Lord Valthorn's son is leading the men against you," Rick pointed out.
