"This is actually a lovely home," the queen commented when the carriage stopped in front of a lovely white building with an arc made of rose plants in front of it.
The building had two stories and the first one had a big open-plan layout with many tables and chairs that looked very comfortable. There were big wooden stairs going to the second floor and the queen was informed that it was where Sophie and her children would live.
The front part of the property was a beautiful terrace with a pastel-colored awning and several tables and chairs that made it look like a beautiful terrace cafe. There were many huge pots filled with flower plants and small pine trees around the terrace which made it look very lush and refreshing.
The queen imagined drinking tea here with a book in hand, eating cake with friends, and gossiping about the latest news with them would be a nice thing to do, among other things.
