Queen Alexa invited the three families to have lunch at the palace. It was almost a year since they all last saw each other and she missed them badly. But, thinking of the gala, she knew that having them come over for lunch would take much of their time from preparations.
So, she arranged four separate rooms for the mothers, fathers, boys, and girls to change in before the gala. There was also room to do their make-up and hair. Therefore, it will give them ample time to chat.
Also, it would lessen the burden of being subjected to traffic jams on their way to the palace. It was a marvelous idea, and the three couples happily accepted.
Sato's entourage, along with Andrea's assistants, went ahead to bring all the articles of clothing to the palace. Once everyone was ready, one by one, each family was loaded into one limousine after another.
Soon a trail of limousines parading on the street of the Kingdom of Stonasia headed for the palace.
