In the quiet serenity of the Valerosa Palace library, Adrian finally found Casmir carrying a stack of books that he had returned. Adrian approached him, glancing at Elara with weary eyes.
"Prince Casmir," Adrian began, deciding formalities were best around unknown people like Elara, "Princess Isabella has asked if Lady Sophia could come to the palace to meet with her. She's... she's struggling, and she needs her best friend. I believe this will help her get through this ordeal."
Casmir placed the stack of books on a nearby table, looking at Elara and back to Adrian, concern etched into his features. "Of course. If it will bring Isabella some comfort, I'll send it to Lady Sophia. I will have someone write a formal invitation at once. When we receive back word confirming when she will arrive I will inform Isabella."
