"There wouldn't be any need for that." Lola straightened up, a warm hypnotic smile framing her face. "I do not eat this early. It will upset my stomach. But thanks for the invitation."
"I'm not taking no, for an answer, Lolitha." Princess Rhiya insisted, ignoring her husband's nonverbal signal. "Just a little refreshment to say thank you for honouring our Dina. I promise it won't upset your stomach. Moreover, today is a special day. I'm sure the birthday girl will be thrilled to have you around for a little while. Wouldn't you, honey?"
"Of course, mum. I'm super excited. It will be an honour and the best gift ever." Dina replied, also faking excitement when all she wanted to do was go back to sleep for the next two hours.
Prince Beshar was about to object but his annoyingly stubborn wife outsmarted him.
"Your uncle and the rest of the family will be thrilled to also have you, around. Just a light breakfast for old-time sake wouldn't hurt. Please..."
