Hello, lovely readers!

First of all, thank you for being here and giving this book a chance. Whether you stumbled upon this story by accident or were curious enough to click, I'm so grateful to have you join me on this little adventure.

Writing this story has been a mix of laughter, late-night brainstorming, and, honestly, a lot of snacks. But the real magic happens because of you—the readers who bring these characters to life just by reading, reacting, and sharing this journey with me.

I hope this story makes you laugh, smile, and maybe even feel a little secondhand frustration for Diana as she navigates the chaos. Your support means everything, and I can't thank you enough for being part of this wild ride.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading. Let's have some fun together!

Warmly,

[Trisa_39]

Characters Sneakpeaks:

Raizel, the Crown Prince (furious): "Cassian, the Empire's falling apart, and you're here arguing about scones!"

Cassian (defensive, holding pastries): "It's lemon vs. cranberry, Raizel. Crucial debate! Also, I'm retired—no politics, no drama, just tea."

Raizel (slams fist on table): "You can't just run away from being the prime minister!"

Cassian (smirking): "Watch me. Seriously, I'm busy. Scones wait for no one."

Diana (sighing, sipping tea): "Why is this my life?"

Raizel (ignoring Diana): "You're being ridiculous, Cassian!"

Cassian (dramatic): "How could you betray me, Diana?"

Diana (deadpan): "Enough. Both of you out of my cafe. Before I throw scones."

Cassian (clutching teapot): "But the scones are fresh!"

Diana (standing up): "I'll make more. Just go!
