I would not have the honour of being accredited to your kingdom. Even I have my lord's trust, I do not share his royal blood. I'd be obliged to offer my service, advice. But a crown is too heavy for a maid of low birth. If your Majesty would excuse me, I shall return to the service of her Highness Ingrid." Lady Leaf curtsies and takes her leave. She attends to princess Ingrid at dinner table, and lends a hand to Lady Sorene who is distributing the food.

"I must beg your indulgence. I came to your Kingdom as an ambassador as I came to this ball as a guest, not a bride candidate. I accepted your invitation in a haste that I did not realised the ball is held in the honour of the future crown princess. My father is a carpenter, were it not for my Lord Gaoyang's trust,

talk with Lady Airaduin, and you may discover her charm that has kept the queen's attention. Now chin up and let us see some smile, shall we? Tears do not suit such a joyful face." "Her Majesty the Queen!" Both Princess Ingrid and Lady Leaf of City Yuguan rise to their feet and cursty. "My dear daughter, what was with such temper?" Asks the Queen.

Still Lady Leaf continues with a soft voice. "Her Majesty is a mother and a Queen, is it not a mother and a Queen's nature and duty to love her children and subjects? As a daughter your Highness has had your mother's attention for a decades or so. As a potential daughter-in-law, does Lady Airaduin not deserve few hours' attention of the queen? As so wise a ruler, Her Majesty certainly wants the best match for your brother. And as a no lesser daughter of the royal house, why don't your Highness"

Were it not for your mother, Her Majesty the Queen's hospitality, we will not be able to celebrate such a magnificent event together, and meet many new friends." "I guess..." remarks princess Ingrid, "But it has been hardly a day, and my mother has spent so much time talking with her! What if she marries my brother! What if my mother ignores me after that!"

In my home, we have a saying 'Rejoice for we have friends coming from afar.'

"My many thanks your Highness and your Majesty. But the world has the will of its own, doesn't it? We do not change the world, we live to its rules as I humbly bow before your Majesty. We accept what is given and make more out of it. As an old saying goes in my country. 'We do our part, and let the Fate decide.' "

(I love the color combination! It has a spring-like lightness to it and the background is just plain gorgeous! The repositioning work is well done and the robe looks like it was an option all along in the maker!)
