After Princess Robyn and the representative of the Velcent Merchant Guild, Gray, introduced themselves. Leonardo wanted to introduce his Queen, Linda."Before anything else, I'd like to introduce my Queen." Says Leonardo.
Leonardo holds Linda's hand while she introduces herself.
"I'm Linda Capet, Queen of Forest of Capet." Then she smiles, "Now let's get to business."
Talks of trades have now commenced.
Princess Robyn and Gray seeked an audience because they wanted to have permission to trade a new good, Azul Mango's, to the Forest of Capet in exchange for 50% more of Forest of Capet's special fruit, the Moonlight Watermelon.
After Leonardo and Linda looked through the documents, they both discussed and decided,
"Hmm, instead of 50% more of the Moonlight Watermelon, we have decided to give you 25% more in exchange."
Princess Robyn then asks, "Pray tell, why only 25%?"
"Because it takes time and care to produce the Moonlight Watermelon, that increasing the production not only for trade, but for our own uses, is simply impossible." Says Linda.
Then Gray says, "Surely there's a way-."
Princess Robyn interrupts and says, "I see, we'll accept the 25% increase."
Now that the discussion of trade is over, Princess Robyn makes a request,
"Forgive me, but may I have permission to have tea with Her Majesty?"
Linda took a minute and mumbled, "What is she up to." Then answered, "You may."
Princess Robyn smiles and says, "Thank you, Her Majesty."
"Though... I will only give you 30 minutes of my time, for it's precious to me." Linda says while glaring at Princess Robyn.
Princess Robyn, insulted, gritted her teeth through her smile.
For the rest of the night, Linda and Leonardo are sitting in the garden.
Leonardo smiles and says, "I was surprised by how you handled yourself today."
"I was too... truth be told, I just said what felt right." Says Linda.
Leonardo gently holds her hand and says, "That just means you're a natural at ruling." Then he smiles, "I'm proud of you."
Linda lovingly stares at Leonardo and says, "Thank you..." then smiles, "I love you."
Leonardo blushes and says, "I love you too."
And then they kiss.
