THE FOUR LADIES,arrived at Angurban royal palace .. soon they entered the banquet hall where all aristocrats of erendille's high society were gathered in talking,laughing and drinking.

diana passed by a few nobles with a trail of her floral perfume leaving its heavenly scent behind and politely murmuring greetings . soon nobles gathered around her,ellen and Freya to greet and talk in different topics .

DIANA'S POV!

Despite how used I'm to this,I couldn't help but feel nervous from everyone circulating around me .. mostly asking about iz or requesting a favor from my uncle..even more nuisance MARRIAGE PROPOSALS!

ruby stood back a little,she was familiar to this atmosphere..it wasn't any different from romana .

RUBY'S POV!

for some reason,I'm reminded of the banquets in romana. at these events I along with my father's mistress Julia were fawned over by opportunistic people who were eager to win the favor of my father and brothers,i was glorified as an object of envy to those ignorant of my plight.

her eyes gazed towards the trio,taking only a step closer but she couldn't help but feel out of place.

RUBY'S POV!

anyway standing next to these willowy ladies makes me feel like a small child...at least Diana is near my height i don't quite feel left out.

" Hello lady rudbeckia,is his holiness doing well?"the sound of a polite noble man spoke.

" Oh my is she ... " .

" Sir iske's wife ".

" the Pope's daughter ".

" Is there anything I could assist his holiness with? "the same nobleman asked.

" When did cardinal Valentino say he would be visiting erendille? "a noble lady asked with an eager smile.

" these people.. "Diana mumbled softly as she stood next to ruby and held her shoulder.

DIANA'S POV!

they're overwhelming her,only seeking any kind of favors from his holiness..annoying .

" Why that son of a .. "Ellen grumbled with a cold glare as her expression dropped to an annoyed one .

" E-ellen!? "Diana mumbled as her eyes widened in disbelief .

RUBY'S POV!

D-did Ellen just say that!? .. even Diana is shocked from her elder cousin.

" Oh iz! "Freya said with a cheerful smile and voice while waving,imaginary flowers floating around her .

" Oh .. that's iz over there "diana said softly as iske glanced towards them .

already turning around when ruby waved towards him,diana blinked before rubbing her forehead gently..this behavior!?

" Honestly men!lady rudbeckia,why don't you go over there and give him an earful? "Freya suggested with a playful annoyed expression .

" Why bother,when it'll go in one ear and straight out the other "Ellen said softly as she looked at Freya .

" Maybe if it's hi- ruby? "Diana was about to say something but stopped midway when she saw ruby making her way towards iske.

DIANA'S POV!

EH!?! is she really going over there!?

Freya and Ellen were silent as they were fixating their eyes on the current situation,even Ivan was silent .
