Chapter 4: Early Visit.
"Nana Bella, what do you think of this gift?" (Princess Eleanor) asks, holding a bouquet of flowers as to congratulate her of making an incredible grand ball that she's worked hard on. "I do not know if this would be enough. These tulips are rather common."
"Its the thought that counts, your highness. Receiving a flower from you would make anyone happy, after all you're a very kind girl." (Nana Bella) replies with a happy smile on her face, helping the princess arrange the bouquet before leaving to Lady Seraphine Vale's party. "Now you must remember to take a good look at all the visitors-! Perhaps this might be your chance to find your special someone."
The old lady was happy to know her highness seemed to be taking party invitations now, with her turning eighteen the social season should be open and free to pick a king consort that would take care of her till the ends of time.
Princess Eleanor smiles bitterly at her maid's word. A special someone, that doesn't exist in her vocabulary anymore.
"I... doubt it." she mutters quietly to herself, before calling out the carriage to be prepared. "Well I'll leave now."
"Yes, do be safe on your trip. I'll take care of everything while you're gone." (Nana Bella) assured her that everything she owned from the dresses and paperwork would not be meddled with by anyone.
Princess Eleanor stares at her briefly before shyly asking the old woman, "Would you... want me to bring any souvenirs?"

"I see..." (Princess Eleanor) couldn't help but frown, looking like a cat having her tail down and being sad.
"Hahaha..." (Nana Bella) chuckles being unsure on what to do. It is wrong for her to request any souvenirs because what maid would be crazy enough to do it?
But what crazy maid would dare turn down a request that will make the princess sad?! "...but if your highness is certain, anything from you would make me happy. You will come back safe, okay?"
The princess seeing her beloved Nana Bella alive and well, was happy and pleased with herself. "I will, I love you Nana Bella."
"My lord-! Your highness, what has gotten into you?" (Nana Bella) blinks and held her heart in a panic. Has someone replaced the princess?!
"I felt like it. I never say it enough, I took you for granted so many times- just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me." The princess smiles, giving her genuine and confident words that could make anyone happy hearing that she means a lot.
"Sniff... B-Best if you'd get going now I... I still have a few more things to clean up." (Nana Bella) has been utterly lucky for
