The third point of view:
There had been lots of dancing at the reception with so many people that Emily couldn't feel her feet anymore. She guessed it was because she was now the queen and everyone wanted to make acquaintances with the queen of Lincolnshire.
Thankfully, the orchestra heard her woe and the dancing finally came to an end. Perhaps, if she knew, she would have forsaken these pairs of heels for sneakers - just like the current Cecil - but then, she was the queen and most look the part - that included observing all protocols and etiquette - and pains. Damn, pretty hurts.
The queen dowager, her majesty, Roselle, was the one to speak after everyone had settled down.
"First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you for being here. To the diplomats who returned to my kingdom for this wedding even after the previous incident..."
