Caleb replied with his signature calm smile, the smile widening the one on Celine's lips. As the princess got lost in Caleb's smile and eyes, the surrounding knights looked on with knowing smiles, some exchanging looks and winks.
Princess Celine was so obvious that the entire Royal Household knew about her fascination with the mysterious and powerful stranger. Although Caleb's name was still on people's lips as they debated whether he was good or bad, the people in the castle only followed the king's will.
King Gray had made his stance clear. Who were they to say otherwise when the king himself hadn't expressed any displeasure? They would be fools to direct any ill intent at Caleb.
"Hehe," Celine chuckled happily, slightly lowering her gaze out of embarrassment.
"Ahem!"
