“To be fair, you did not give him any chance to defend himself” Edwina mused as we looked out the courtyard
I scoffed angrily turning to look at her “ He did not deserve a chance to defend himself, trying to fool didi, who does he think he is?”
“Maybe he just wanted to spend some time with me” She murmured pursuing her lips
“And you think that was clever, what he did, to spend time with you?” Kate asks
“No!” Edwina exclaims “ Kate, you always told me apa said it takes a courageous man to go after what he wants” I sighed shaking my head at Edwina’s naivety, only thinking everyone is good, never really seeing their bad intentions.
“Apa also said that the market of a true gentleman is honesty, something the viscount notably lacks” Kate argued
We all turned once we heard the doors being opened in front of us, the queen approaching us. We bow before her.
“Your majesty” Lady Danbury greets
“Lady Danbury, Miss Sharma, Miss Y/n Sharma and my diamond” The queen greets us “This way, there is much to see”
We follow her as she leads us to the opposite side from where she came through.
“These are called Zebras, stripped horses from Africa, in fact, seven more arrive next week, though I can’t think what to name them all” Her majesty complains “ After 15 children, I seem to run out of ideas” we stand in front of a barrier, a handful of zebras scattered across the yard in front of us
“Miss Edwina” The queen calls out
“Yes, your Majesty” My sister answers
“ I do hope you have been enjoying the attention you have surely been receiving as the season’s diamond” The queen tells her
“Very much so, ma’am, it has been a exceptional honor”
“It is not an easy mantle to take on, you realize, to have so many eyes upon you at all times, regardless of the truth, people, nay gossips, they will contrive shameless falsehoods, rumor can oftentimes be a great hardship to endure, just ask your mother, just ask me” The queen advised her
“My sister aspires to learn from your illustrious example , your Majesty, your marriage, the wondrous love you share with the king, my sisters desires the very same” Kate flatters the queen
“And they shall receive it, Should they know who to trust” The queen replies “Miss Y/n” She turns to me
“Although you weren’t named this season’s incomparable, I seem to notice you receive almost as much attention as your sister does” She comments “I would also like to take you under my wing, together with your sister, as you also have qualities of a season’s incomparable, it would do you good to receive some of my advice” I looked at my sisters and Lady Danbury, who nodded at me happily
“I would be honored, your majesty,” I smile gleefully
“Lady Danbury has been a steadfast guide for us this season, and my sisters have me watching them as well” Kate informs her majesty
