<Outside the castle>

A carriage arrived...

Ambassador: "I am Ambassador Bismark. Here by invitation of the Queen!"

The Guard nodded and bowed. The Ambassador got off the carriage and the guard escorted him to the throne room.

<Back in Rosella's Bedroom>

Rosella was examining little gemstones and writing about her discovery with Seraphina when there was knock on the door.

Rosella: "Umm, come in!"

The door opened and Julien walked in.

Rosella: "Julien! Perfect timing."

Rosella held a gemstone/stone in front of her.

Rosella: "I classify this as Iron pyrite, pretty but...not consider valuable. Commonly known as fool's gold."

Julien: "Well done, your highness..."

Rosella: "Your Highness? Why the sudden formality? It's just me."

Julien: "The Queen sent me. Apparently, the ambassador has arrived with a gift for you."

Rosella: "The Ambassador...he's here already?"

<In the throne room>

Ambassador: "On behalf of Prince Hawk, I present this engagement gift to you."

The Ambassador handed the Queen a perfectly wrapped gift.

The Queen opened it and discovered a necklace inside.

The Queen: "Oh thank you, ambassador! Princess Rosella will be quite pleased."

Ambassador: "May I inquired your excellence here if you'll set a date for the wedding."

The Queen: "Will a week from today do?"

Preminger was shocked.

Preminger: "Ah! Next week!"

Everyone stared at Preminger.

Preminger: "Oh umm, the most wise and thoughtful position, your majesty!"

Ambassador: "Excellent! I will tell Prince Hawk right away, so he can meet his new bride!"

<Back in Rosella's room>

One of The Maids gave Rosella the gift from the ambassador. Rosella didn't really want it so she put it on Seraphina and walked to the balcony. Seraphina was admiring herself in the mirror.

Julien was curious so he followed Rosella. He noticed that Rosella was watching two little girls picking flowers.

Rosella: "*Sighs* They are so happy...free to do whatever they want..."
