Easter Party

Richard walked into Hall after a servant announced him

"His Majesty the King!"

He sat on his throne and kept on watching carefully at people talking each other. A servant offered him a goblet and he drank some wine while waiting other guests to come

Inge joined the Party, hoping that Sybille and her sisters could reach her. Her light blue dress made her feel like a fair. It was nice to forget to be a servant for one night. She curtsied deeply before the King before taking her place

Inigo joined the Party with Francisca. It was not a good moment for parties, because of problems with Spain. But he thought that they needed some fun. After being announced, he walked along Hall, bowed at the King and sat at his table

Valerie entered in the Hall followed by her ladies.

A servant announced her: "Her Grace, the Princess Valerie of Bavaria"

She was wearing a beautiful dress that her mother's tailor had made for that particular occasion. It let her shoulders uncovered and it was green and silver.
Valerie's hair fell long and curly on her back.

She smiled kindly to the guests and made her way to the throne, bowing to her uncle with a smile: "Your Majesty, I wish you a happy Easter" she said raising up again "I have a gift for you"

She walked in with a shy and uncertain gait, wearing a blue  dress, that fit her perfectly. Her eyes widened at the beauty and glamor of the court. The size of the ballroom amazed her. The room was decorated with gold on the ceiling, and fine paintings hung the wall.

Sybille noticed Inge looking stunning as always and she glided her way towards her. Fancy seeing you here how are you since our ride together. Sybille kept her eyes away from Richard for tonight he was to much of a temptation for Sybille.

With a wide smile on my face I entered the hall expecting to see Isabella here now would be the perfect chance to introduce Max to the world. Looking around I saw a few new faces and one who had similar features to Isabella I went and said hello. "Excuse me are you the sister to Isabella?"

Richard smiled at his guests. He wished them Happy Easter. And when his niece Valerie came closer his smile became warmer

Valerie! Happy Easter to you. You look very beautiful. Oh..it's very nice of you..

He gestured to a servant to show him her gift

Inge stood up and she hugged Sybille with a sweet smile

"Sybille! I am very good, thank you. You look stunning, really. And I guees I am not the only one who noticed your beauty here.."

She said meaningfully glancing at the King

Sybille blushed hiding her face upon Inge shoulder. No he is busy receiving gifts which reminds me I have not brought him one at all but I have managed to buy you one Inge. Sybille smiled mischievously glancing around the room wondering if Anne or William would turn up her thoughts cast to Amelia.

Inge covered her mouth with her hand by surprise

"Oh really? Sybille..you know it's not necessary. I'm not used receiving gifts.."

She replied, but she was smiling excitedly

The small uncertain smile appeared on her face as the lady approached her.

Yes, I'm. And you are?

She asked curiously, apparently here everyone knew Isabella very well.

Sybille gave her a teasing smile Inge hardly treated herself and she hoped that she would like her present. Well you need someone to make you feel special even if it is me. I am very pleased with your present should you have it now or on Easter day I cannot decide. Sybille smiled letting out a happy sigh.

"Thank you, I hoped you would have liked it!" She said smiling and making a turn laughing happy.

She made a gesture to one of her ladies and she handed a little purple box to the servant.

Valerie looked excited at her uncle. She was waiting for his reaction!

He asked curiously

Inge smiled with joy

"Oh I'm very curious, actually. And telling the truth..I have a gift for you too. Hope you'll like it. But I want to see mine, first.."

She giggled, not thinking that Sybille could rewarn her with a gift

Jane Renner walked slowly up to the king and curtsey  him.

"Your Majesty, I wish you a happy Easter"

She said to the king.

He asked curiously

Valerie's smile enlarged. She was so happy that he liked her gift that much.
She came a little closer to the throne to watch at the ring one more time.
She took it to Court from her last visit at home.

"Actually... I found it in my father's bedroom" she said blushing a bit "Usually Mutter says that I'm not allowed to go there, but I did. I do it quite often when she's not around..." she explained "Sometimes doing so makes me remind of my childhood and I feel comfortable. When I opened a drawer, I found a box under his clothes that I never noticed before. There were four identical rings of different colors inside: green, blue, purple and red. Upon those rings, on the internal cover of the box there were four letters: L, R, P and V. I thought they meant Ludwig, Richard, Philip and Valerie.Probably, he had them made for a special occasion, even if I don't know wich one... We will never know, however it is right for you to have yours. Good Easter, uncle."

She finished with a little sad smile. Talking about her father was never easy to her.

Beatrice's smile was now friendly, and she said in warm voice,

I'm so glad someone was at my sisters side, and it's such pleasure to meet you, my lady.

She looked around, hoping to see her sister but there wasn't a sight of Isabella.

I hope she's better now. I didn't wish to disturb her in this late hour.

Richard smiled at the new lady still keeping his attention on Valerie's words. He looked amazed at her once she finished talking

I'm really impressed, Valerie. It seems you found a little family's treasure. Thank you for sharing it with me. When we'll have more free time, I wish to know more about that. Happy Easter..

Jane took her seat at a table that was empty. She looked around at everyone she was new to court so she didn't know anyone here.

I could tell that Isabella was the older sister of them both I really wanted to introduce her to the King but the enemies of her sister would probably see it as an attack on their throne. She will be delighted that you are here she has missed you greatly and you have a beautiful nephew full head of dark hair would you like some refreshment after your long journey. I pointed to a table full of rich food and deeply sweet wines.
