Anne feel sorry for Inge and answer her softly.
Oh, I don't knowed that you had lost your mother, I am really sorry for you. In fact I don't really know about your life before you have join court for work for me, two years ago, I guess that it has been hard to leave you aunt and your village, fortunately that you have find happiness here.
Thinking to her own family, she feel glad that she have her mother, father, brother, big sister and little sister, all in good health.

Inge nodded slowly
"Indeed, it was. My mother was an unmarried woman. My birth was a scandal, and I never met my father. After her death, my aunt feared I could become shameless like my mother, and that I could ruin our family's reputation. That's why she sent me to court, Anne..."
She explained while walking slowly

Anne listen to Inge attentively, a compassionate air on her face.
I am sad t learn that you are born in such difficult conditions and without great chances in life. Honestly, I find that it was rude and injust of your aunt's behalf, after all, you aren't responsable for your mother's faults and I find even more shocking that she have suspect you to can ruin your family's reputation because you are still a very young and innocent girl and hadn't ever did something of bad.

She added, trying to change topic

Anne listen attentively to Inge while walking along a path by her side and nodd, then smile.
I am glad to hear that you are happy to be there, finally, even if it probably wasn't her aim, your aunt have give you a chance to start a new life here and to increase your chances of future and I can't thank her enough for that, because in sending you there, she have give me the better friend I ever had ! I never get bored anymore since you have join court either.
Anne's face take a surprised air as Inge evocate the queen Eleonor's crowning, she is shocked that there isn't yet has been trial against the king and that he is free to continue his life as if nothing happened, but on the other hand, she feel happy for the queen whom she love very much.
Oh ... I don't knowed, I am happy for her, it's a great honor for her and she deserve it mostly, you know how much I love and admirate her ...

Anne's face take a troubled air as Inge talk about the coronation of the queen, feeling a knock in her stomach at the idea to be again in the king's presence, she take a deep breath and try to reassure herself in thinking that even if she recieve a invitation to attend the ceremony, her brother will understand that she can't attend to it and certainly not force her to go. She don't know how to answer to her, she try to don't show her emotion and act with restraint as she has been tauch to do since her earliest age and do more and more in growing up, qhe bite her lip and answer her.
Well, I don't know about it, I will see, after all this event don't concern me since I am not a royal family's member.

Inge stopped walking after her words and frowned a bit. She was surprised
"Are you jocking, Anne? Surely you, your brother and Amelia will be invitated. And you can't refuse. Queen Eleanor would be very upset and surprised by your absence. The whole Kingdom will be there. And if the King will order you to go...you'll go. Am I clear?"
She said firmly. As her lady in waiting and best friend, she had the duty to prevent her from doing stupid things because of her young age. She looked curiously at her face to see her reaction

Anne's eyes grow wider from ununderstanding and shock, Inge never talked to her on this tone before and how could she dare to talk to her on this tone, she can't accept such irrespect from a girl of such lower rank than her, who hadn't a fonction or a age that would allow her to talk to her on this tone, even if she is her best friend and she answer her in talking a cold and haughty tone that she never used with Inge.
My lady, do I have to recall you that your rank nor your age nor your position allow you to give me any order nor to talk to me with disrespect ? ... change your tone or leave me alone and return to your room ! ...
These words said, she feel her anger evaporating remplaced by a feeling of sadness, betraying and abandon, how Inge, her best friend, her confident, who know everything about what happened to royal court can react this way ? Once more she see again in her mind the scene to which she attended, feeling tears filling her eyes, she take a deep breath for refrain them, and turn back to Inge and step forward faster without waiting for her.

Inge looked at her with surprised eyes
"There is no need to remind me your rank, Anne! I'm just trying to avoid you to do a mistake. You can be a duchess. But you're just a child. And my duty is watching over you..."
She turned her eyes elsewhere and kept on walking along garden again

Anne turn back to her, crossing her arms, the air a slighty sullen.
You have to watch over me too indeed, but I think that it's rather to my older ladies in waiting to do that and anyway my mother, father and brother are the only ones who can who decide on what I have to do or not. And which mistake ? I don't see what I did of bad.
Feeling unable to resent Inge for a long time even if she have lack of respect toward her, she add on a softer tone with hint of sadness in her voice, the air grave, a tear flowing slowly along her cheek.
I just don't have at all the envy to return there, you should be able to understand that, better than anyone else, or either it's mean that even you, you don't understand me.
OOC I have watch in wikipedia and at this stage of Anne"s life, her mother and father are still alive, and it's more her father who have important position than her brother and she also have a older sister, Sybille, who have marry Jean-Frédéric 1er de Saxe, one year ago. I communicate these infos to you because I think it can help for threads.

Anne, squeezing her hand softly nodd and walk with her near to a statue, looking around, amazed by the nature.

Anne nodd and answer her.
I do like to stay indoor, but myself, I has been tauch to remain indoor, seclused in my rooms since my earliest age, so I do appreciate the feeling of freedom that I find in being outdoor. Dreaming of escapes, of a somewhere else where she would be more free, she continue to walk by Inge's side among the edges.

Inge touched soft leafs in the garden while walking and smiled at Anne
"Yes...I understand what you mean, Anne. But for me it's different. I had...a very rare illness when I was a child. Sunlight hurted my skin. That's why I was forced to stay inside house. Oh...but it was not so bad..."

Anne contemple a gracious lady's statue in white marble that stand among the garden on her right, then turn again to Inge, her face take a concerned and intrigued air, frowning slighty.
Oh ... what a weird illness, and it must hard for a child to be deprived of the wonderful feeling of the sunlight's warmess on your skin ... I hope that you are totally cured now.
