Grosvenor Square, 1814.
Dearest reader, It has been said that competition is an opportunity for us to rise and stand ready before our greatest of challenges. Well, if what this author hears this morning is true, then a great challenge concerning this season's diamond has been set forth, indeed. Any suitor wishing to gain an audience with Miss Edwina Sharma must first tame the rather prickly spinster of a beast otherwise known as her sister. Ofcourse, the only competition that compels my attention is the game of courtship. So best of luck to this year's players. Do not stumble on the starting line.

Aaliyah looked out the window of the carriage, admiring the greenery that surrounded the path as they were on their way to Buckingham Palace. Since the Prussian Princess is royalty, it is only right that she stay there.
Princess Adelheid's eyes land on Aaliyah, she softly cleared her throat before speaking up. "Again, I apologize for forcing you to do this" Adi starts, and the latter softly smiles at her, "It is quite alright, I can't hide in Germany my whole life."
When they had arrived, they saw Her Majesty the Queen herself waiting for them. Aaliyah's hands started to sweat as her heart began to thump loudly.
"It has been a long time, Adelheid, my dear," Her Majesty the Queen opens her arms with a smile as the Prussian Princess was engulfed in a hug by the ruler of England. "And it seems that you aren't alone."
Aaliyah curtsied deeply as she greeted the Queen. "It is an honor to become Princess Adelheid's chaperone this social season, let alone stay in the Palace."
The Queen raises her brow at Aaliyah, watching her with sharp eyes. "I heard from the Williams family that you have gone missing." Aaliyah winces, knowing where the conversation will lead.
"Seeing that you came with my niece from Prussia, it seems that you have gone up into hiding and vanished due to another Prussian royal," the Queen prickly states. Aaliyah softly lets out a shaky sigh.
Princess Adelheid clears her throat and faces her auntie. "Aunt Lottie, it has been a decade since I have visited the Palace, it sure brings back memories!" Knowing what her niece is doing but not saying a word, she loops her arms around Princess Adelheid and begins to walk in. As Aaliyah begins to follow the servant, she lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding and sighs.
"Just down this way, Miss Williams." A servant smiles at her and she reciprocates it before following him to guide her to her bed chambers.
