While Mana and other were busy making their preparations for the upcoming banquets, Princess Astra wasn't too idle, either. She was still grounded, but King Jaren had assigned people to help her prepare for the banquets, so her outfits and jewellery and accessories etc. were well taken care of. Astra did try and send many weepy requests to King Jaren – but this time, especially after what had happened with Raven and Mana later because of Astra's conduct, King Jaren had no inclination to pander to Astra's whims. He felt that it was already good enough that Mana and Raven were being generous and not demanding a harsher punishment for Astra.
