What's the Worst That Can Happen?

The Saudi King gathered the attention of his guests by clanging his spoon against a glass of wine. This was a very cliche scene, one that Alex expected was part of the manga he was living in, and not an actual Saudi custom for several obvious reasons. 

Nevertheless, Alex shifted his attention over to the man in charge. Who began to speak once everyone had properly silenced themselves so that they may hear his words. 

"Thank you all for attending my beloved daughter's eighteenth birthday. There is some news I would like to announce to you all. But first... Where is my daughter? Where is my beloved Aisha?" 

Immediately Aisha's attention was shifted from Alex who she was standing beside, having previously been enjoying her time with the man whose life was something straight out of a movie as far as she was concerned. And instead her focus set upon her father, as the guests instinctively cleared out of the way to allow the Suadi King to see his daughter.
