As she started moving forward, following the prince to his alchemy lab, she realized that her advancing might not be as discreet as she had hoped.
'These damn shoes!' Melania hid behind a tree and lifted her right foot, 'The heels are making too much noise!'
The princess looked around to make sure that no one was secretly watching her and released a sigh of relief.
'There is no helping it, the shoes must come off. Thank goodness it's so warm already and haven't rained in a while.'
Having removed the annoying heels, Melania hid them in the nearest flower bush along the pathway and resumed her mission.
