Currently, the royal family was having dinner together with their beloved guest Lady Karenina from Hauntingen. She had stayed in the capital for several months now and the queen was very fond of her. So, she was often invited to dinner at the royal palace.
"How is Uncle Joseph by the way?" Nicholas asked his mother. His words caught the queen who looked shocked at her son's sudden question.
"Um, pardon me, your grace, but who is Uncle Joseph?" Karenina batted her eyelashes innocently. She thought the name must be someone important to the family, seeing the queen's reaction.
Queen Marianne swallowed for a moment and then tried to scold her son. "Nicholas, you mustn't bring up people that our guest doesn't know. It's important that you don't ostracize a person during a conversation by choosing a topic she's not familiar with."
