The House was busy after all it was the Marquess basu's 51'st birthday and the Marchioness made sure it would be the happiest day of the year whilst her three daughters are all around. Starting with the youngest Divya who was selecting her new dresses as per usual while the middle Madhuri was her mother's daughter helping her with arranging everything with her but now rests the oldest and well the rebel.Eleanor clapped her hands "where is she?"Eleanor asked holding her hands together and all the servants looked at her "madam i think we all know where she is"one of the servants softly said smiling and everyone giggled slightly "have someone bring her"Eleanor said in defeat then turned to her middle daughter Madhuri who was adjusting her sari in the mirror "i am going to say something and you will wish to scream"Eleanor said standing beside her and madhuri slowly nodded "the queen wishes to have ayana take over as my role in london as the duchess of Cambridge"eleanor whispered smirking while madhuri was already squealed "Didi will marry!"madhuri smiled "well first we have to tell her without any objections"the older woman explained "i already have a few friends whom i know have very well raised sons"she added and madhuri tilted her head "something up to ayana's standards"and the both sighed as the truth was how could any one live up to her standards.
All ayana did that day was play with her kites on the roof a hobby she started taking when she noticed one of her mother's lady maids and she immediately realized. "what!"Ayana let out a loud yell covering her mouth after hearing the words of her mother "so you wish for me to go to BRITAIN?"she asked loudly "no we'd simply travel with you"Eleanor said then clicked her tongue "after two months"she added and Ayana fainted on her sister Madhuri who held her "just give her a few minutes"
it had been two months of ayana being stuck in the queens castle as her guest meaning the rumors of her arrival flew across the ton like an eagle as everyone wondered who is the duchess of Cambridge?
"brimsley , who is whistledown"ayana asked as she walked in the castle hallway on her way to the queen "a gossip writer"he answered walking beside her and she paused mid walking "was i ever mentioned?"she asked "alot"he said and she immediately raised her eyebrows
The following afternoon Ayana spent the day alone until when she was admiring a painting in the castle halls when a force hugged her tightly from behind "didi!"Divya excitedly squealed , Ayana hugged her tightly "where is Madhuri?"she asked still hugging her sister "as much as she loves us but the possibility of her cutting her honeymoon for us is impossible"Divya said her head on her sister's shoulder "mama?"Ayana stopped in her tracks "with the queen"
Eleanor sat across from the Queen in the opulent drawing room, the rich scent of fresh roses filling the air. She sipped her tea thoughtfully, glancing out the window before turning her attention back to the monarch. "Ayana is... a remarkable young woman," Eleanor began, her voice filled with maternal pride. "She's inherited her father's strength and charm, but she has her own way of handling things. I worry, Your Majesty, that she feels the weight of her title too keenly. She's determined to forge her own path, to find love on her terms, without the constraints of an arranged marriage." The Queen nodded thoughtfully, her eyes softening as she considered the words. "It's not easy being the first-born, especially with the history she carries. But perhaps, Eleanor, Ayana's independence is her greatest asset. She'll need it in this world." Eleanor smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Yes, I believe she will. But still, I hope she finds the balance between duty and happiness." The Queen leaned forward slightly, her gaze warm. "She will. With you guiding her, she has every chance."
