Th Secret Princess

Chapter Eight: Tea, Gossip and Tabloids!

{We well knew Former King Roman was a ladies man. But, by god was he did lived up to his whole reputation. Last night was the one of the grandest celebrations of Lyoncia took place. The Queen's Birthday. But, it wasn't just the whispers of gossips that was the main attractions of the ball. It was the young woman who was the center of all media and guests. The "Secret Princess". Miss Scandal herself walked trough the gates of Deardrew Palace. King Roman's secret daughter with apparently secret wife. We all knew the former king was engaged before he left of the states. But, who knew when he left the country he also left his betrothal status behind as well. Even though the Queen gave warm welcome to the "Secret Princess". Was it really as generous as it seemed. Is this a warning that there might a Monarch switch in future or is it something else?. No matter what we all know by now the Royal family was damned good at hiding their scandals and we were damn good at finding it.

Patricia: Well, at least the secret was out. Now, we can sit still for a while.

Isabella: You call this okay?. They are calling me a bastard.

Ashley: No one said that.

Isabella: Well not directly. But, that's exactly what they mean. 

Patricia: Once the prove of marriage between your mother and the former king becomes common knowledge the rumors will definitely be a little kinder. 

Isabella: How do you know that?. Last night, plenty of people remined me I did not belong here. Even the Princess.

Justin: Alexandra is harmless. She is a aggressive gossip. That is all.

Isabella: She did not seemed harmless.

Patricia: Isabella, make sure you don't go around and say this to her face. It could be really a problem.

Isabella: Why do I have to tolerate her?! I am a princess too.

Justin: Yeah, but you are also new to the court. You needs friends not enemies.

Isabella: I have you guys. Pretty sure I am fine.

Justin: Yes, but we do not know what the Queen will tell you today when you meet her for tea.

Isabella: Whatever she says I am not agreeing to it.

Patricia: Make sure, you let her finish before you start to talk.

Isabella: Of course, I will. 

Patricia: Not from what I have heard last night. 

Ashley: What she meant was that be a little more graceful.

Isabella: If they don't like me for me then it is not my fault.

Patricia: Keep acting like this and it might be. 

( I was meeting the Queen today for tea. Something that was definitely a royal thing to do. I hope she will tell me everything I needed to know. I need to have answers for my mother and also for myself. )
