YOU LIGHTLY TWIST IN YOUR DRESS RELISHING IN THE GENTLE SWAY THAT OCCURS AS IT CATCHES AIR. Standing between Kate and Edwina you struggle to fight the grin off your lips. Lady Danbury introduces the three of you to the Queen who stands before you with a pensive stare. You care little to impress her or anyone in attendance really, only to make the most of your travels while your younger sister secures a love match.
"And may I present her daughters, Miss Sharma, Miss (Y/n) Sharma, and Edwina Sharma. My two personal special guests for the season." Lady Danbury says, though you curtsy the grin does not leave your lips as the Queen meets your gaze. She narrows her eyes at the sight which fuels your amusement as Kate offers a proper smile and Edwina appears in awe.
"A high honor, indeed. I hear you have made quite a journey to join us again after all these years, Lady Mary. If only you had extended the courtesy of offering your Queen a final farewell before you left," The Queen's passive-aggressive nature makes your smile widen before your lips move faster than your mind can consider.
"If I may? Why should one bother with dreadful goodbyes when we can relish in shocking hellos," You cut in earning patronizing looks from both your siblings, mother, and Lady Danbury.
"Miss (Y/n) Sharma is it? Some must call you brazen," The Queen says, tilting your head you chuckle at her false compliment. It does little to stifle the fire that drives your family near insane.
"Some say a madwoman but who am I to correct the Queen?" You tease as your mother rushes to apologize for your incorrigible manners. The Queen raises her hand, halting your mother.
"No apology needed," The Queen says, a light chuckle leaving her lips as she eyes you. "Maybe there is hope for the Sharma's yet. Good day, Miss (Y/n)."
You curtsy to the Queen as she makes her exit before all eyes fall on you. Lady Danbury announces her love of a challenge before your mother begins her fruitless lecturing.
"Fret not Lady Mary. I believe your mouthy daughter has managed to charm the Queen," Lady Danbury says and you shrug your shoulders, looking at your mother with a matter-of-fact expression. You immediately excuse yourself from your family before they can stop you. The music's quaint and you giggle at the sight of a man struggling with the influx of women who surround him. You do not realize how long you watch the circus in front of you until the man meets your eye. His eyebrows furrow as you chuckle and continue on but Lady Danbury catches your elbow.
"You are quite the mercurial creature aren't you?" Lady Danbury says as she brings you between herself and your mother.
"Oh do I love the influx of compliments here," Your sardonic smirk earns a soft chuckle from Danbury. Before silence can ensue, Kate points to the man in the sea of women with familiarity.
