"But Your Highness, you just recover from the arrow shot wound. Don't you think that it's still too early to leave the palace?" The lady-in-waiting tried her best to persuade the Crown Princess who seemed to have no intention to change her mind.
"I've been stuck in the palace for too long," Lena Castelof said, still maintaining that calm voice. "The festival is a good opportunity for me to step out and regain my strength."
