His thoughts

As Steve left to check things out, Bellovet sat and thought. He wondered if Priya might be making up trouble to get his attention. The palace, usually calm, now had problems with feelings and hidden plans.

Bellovet, who knew how to manage palace matters well, couldn't stop thinking that Priya might not be really worried about the palace. Instead, she might be trying to involve him in her problems. Bellovet had dealt with palace politics for a long time and was good at telling real problems from tricky plans.

The question bothered him: Was Priya truly caring about the palace's order, or did she have another reason for pointing fingers? Bellovet understood that keeping things in control meant being careful, and any issues could lead to big problems.

While waiting for Steve's news, Bellovet decided to be watchful. The palace, with its fancy decorations and echoing halls, had secrets that needed a careful look. Bellovet, the leader of the palace, was set on finding the truth and making sure fairness won, even if the palace was full of tricky games.

Little did he know that the palace, once quiet and peaceful, was close to discovering things that would change how power worked inside. The stories of Priya, Bella, and Arella's escape were getting mixed up in ways Bellovet couldn't predict.
