Listening to Arthur describe the various uses of Sydney Palace's construction, and fantasizing about her own statue being erected next to Arthur's, Grand Duchess Mary had to admit she was very moved.
Women, when intrigued, can't help but imagine all manner of ideal scenarios for the future. This was particularly true when it came to her wedding ceremony - Grand Duchess Mary had plenty of dream scenarios in mind.
With a wave of his grand hand, Arthur encouraged Grand Duchess Mary to bring her visions to life and to take an active role in planning the wedding.
For Arthur, a monarch, the only major practical concern was the potential financial cost. But since he was reaping huge profits from the Benz Car Factory everyday, such costs seemed trivial.
After earning a surge of goodwill from Grand Duchess Mary, Arthur turned his attention to the forthcoming banquet.
At eight in the evening, the banquet started in Banquet Hall One of Sydney Palace.
