Bella was present in the evening celebration since Jayra wanted to introduce their family to Ebodia's Royal Family. Her sister-in-law had made it clear that they were the ones that took care of her, and Bella held her smiles throughout the evening, trying her best to enjoy herself and have so much fun. However, her mind just couldn't help but wander back to Osman. He was apparently still away with Commander Jargon fixing up some of the messes Nasser had created by the borders around the Dead Sea.
Unfortunately for her, she hadn't seen Osman since last night right after their one encounter with Princess Xenia. She had just heard from her brother Bartos that their King suddenly had an emergency task for Osman that night, so the man immediately left as soon as he was able.
