The candles sparkled on the glorious gold chandelier at the center of the parlour. The sound of idle chatter coming from the ladies of the court gathered together was a cheery sight indeed. The ladies of the court were adorned in glittering jewellery, they wore beautiful evening gowns and their hair was styled in the latest fashion. Tea was served in various flavours and the ladies of the court formed their little groups and chose their companions for the evening.
Queen Elesha was happy to see everyone enjoying themselves and conversing freely. She spotted Lady Drella with another elderly lady talking of the adventures that kept their husbands away from home. Her mother Queen Matilda stood with a cup of tea in her hand scrutinizing everything and everyone with eagle eyes and her sister Estella was gossiping with Lady Lystra of the latest happenings in the Kingdom of Weiss. The parlour was pleasantly not too warm or too stuffy despite the crowd of ladies gathered.
