Heading toward the room prepared for her, Belle simply took a bath and changed into a resplendent gown.
For such a rare family reunion, she couldn't exactly afford to look careless.
Almost all of her siblings would be present.
Everyone except Thomen...
The thought briefly made her expression fall.
She quickly pushed it aside.
Tonight was supposed to be a family gathering, and despite everything that had happened between them, Belle still wanted to make an effort.
After all, it wasn't every day that the entire Falkrona family gathered around the same table.
She had already avoided talking much about Edward ever since his his new position as the Guardian of the Holy Tree.
But this time, she couldn't avoid the subject anymore.
She knew there would be questions.
And honestly, she would have to be truthful.
There was no point hiding things from her family forever.
