Second Thoughts and Unwanted Gifts
“Endora….” Queen Taralen started.
Princess Endora held up her hands. “Grandmother, he has always been a perfect gentleman I have no worries about my honor. Besides we are quite compatible.”
“I was hoping you didn’t like him. She is insufferable. Always with the rudest questions and …. “ Queen Taralen sighed. “She just gets on my nerves.”
“Well she isn’t the one I will be betrothed to, is she? Don’t worry. it will all work out.” Princess Endora looked at the settee and saw the strangest thing. There was a feathered cloak made with many different colored feathers. “Was that a gift from Queen March?”
“It is hideous.” Queen Taralen sank down in the chair behind the desk. “So you want to marry him?”
“Yes I think so. It’s not what we planned for me but he is Royal.” Princess Endora picked up the cloak and looked at it more closely. “It’s pretty.”
“It has color.” Queen Taralen said.
“The world has color, Grandmother. Why is it that we only wear white?” Princess Endora asked
“The Northern Court wears white. We are an extension of them in a way.” Queen Taralen looked at her granddaughter. “I think you would like some color in your clothes.”
“Some but this is a bit too much. Maybe a sash here or a tunic there.” Princess Endora put the cloak back on the settee.
“You will be Queen someday and then you can change the dress of the Court.” Queen Taralen shook her finger at Princess Endora. “I know that you have let young Dionne wear color on more than one occasion.”
“She looks good in green with her wings and coloring.” Princess Endora said. “Not while we were here of course. I wore blue at Aura’s wedding.”
“Maybe a sash wouldn’t be so bad.” Queen Taralen said with a smile. “What will I do with that?”
“Wear it for the Bell Ringing at the New Year. It’s warm and you always complain of the cold during the ceremony.” Princess Endora laughed. “Besides it will be dark and no one will be sober enough to notice.”
“Endora!” Queen Taralen laughed with her granddaughter.
“I must go Paddrick invited me on a sleigh ride in the morning.” Princess Endora told her grandmother.
“Take Dionne. Queen March wasn’t happy that you two went off without a chaperone.” Queen Taralen told her.
“I will. Dionne could use some fun too.”
“Indeed!”
