As Princess Jasmine returned her attention to the pages of her book, Princess Liezel remained in a state of reverie, relishing the compliment that had just been bestowed upon her by her sister. Meanwhile, the Queen was seated on her chair in the boudoir, surrounded by her attendants, who were busily applying makeup and arranging her hair into an elegant crown.
Suddenly, the active atmosphere was disrupted by the abrupt entrance of Lady Marceline and Lady Therasia, who looked visibly out of breath and sweaty, as if they had just run a considerable distance to reach the boudoir. The reason for their haste and agitation remained unclear, leaving the princesses and attendants to speculate and wonder about what news or information the ladies had to share.
Despite their physical exertion, Lady Marceline and Lady Therasia tried their best to catch their breath and regain their composure.
