Main and Backup Plan

"Marcella," Quentin called out.

Marcella walked up to Quentin after the man called her name. The woman stood beside Quentin, with her eyes occasionally directed forward, watching David's face intently.

"Take David to his chamber. He will need a lot of time to reflect on his decision later," Quentin stated, smiling sarcastically with his eyes directed forward.

David grumbled in annoyance, feeling uncomfortable with the current situation. However, he would also get nothing out of continuing to confront Quentin. It would only make the current situation worse.

"Yes, My Lord," said Marcella.

Marcella invited David to immediately follow behind her, going to the chamber on the second floor, which was reserved entirely for Calden Castle's guests. Quentin was left with Geoffrey and Arabelle in that place.

"I didn't know you'd be so angry about that, Quentin," Arabelle expressed, still feeling guilty.
