Coming for a visit

"Charles frowned a bit"

Why do you say that, my lady? Don't you think they love you?

"He asked, a bit surprised"

"Not sure your grace." She said as to him looking down.

"Charles sighed deeply"

Well..I can just give you an advice, my Lady. Try to get in touch with them. Perhaps, you will be surprised by their reaction...

"He suggested, still keeping his fatherly attitude towards her"

"Your grace I think they are to busy with stuff going on with their lives." She said as to him looking down.

"Charles let out a deep breath"

Probably you're right, my Lady. I don't want to force you. So...what's about your plans for the future? Have you already talked with your father about your future husband?

"He asked"

"No your grace." She said as to him looking down.

"Charles nodded simply"

I see. Maybe he thinks you're still too young, my Lady...

"He replied turning his glance towards fireplace"

"Maybe your grace." She said as to him looking down.

"Charles stood up and took a glass of fruit juice for him too"

Will you spend Easter at court, my Lady? It would be a nice occasion to meet some good suitor..

"He suggested while sitting back again"

"Maybe your grace." She said as to him looking down.

"Charles nodded and smiled kindly"

The King would be very happy to see you. He misses you very much. I can escort you until Whitehall Palace, if you wish. I would be honoured to accompany you to meet your father...

"He suggested"

"Thank you your grace I would like that." She said as to him.

"Charles sighed but he smiled at her at the same time"

Why not? They are your siblings...they have nothing against you. You share the same blood...

"Your grace do you have siblings like me?" She asked him.

"Charles smiled and nodded"

Yes..my Lady. I have two sisters, Eleanor and Faith. The last one is my half sister, but I love them in the same way. That's why I'm sure it's the same for your half siblings. Also, the King loves all his children...

"He added gesturing her to sit next to fireplace"

"I hope so." She said to him.

"Charles sat in front of her with a friendly smile"

Oh I'm sure of it. And I think your father will take care about your future as well. His beloved daughter needs a worthy husband...

"I just feel alone sometimes." She said to him looking down.

"Charles smiled at her"

You know...I can't see my siblings so often neither, my Lady. But remember that you have a friend at court, like myself. And if you need to talk, I can listen you very willingly...

"It not the same thing." She said to him looking down.

"Charles sighed a bit"

You should spend more time with your father, my Lady. He could introduce you your new born sister, Princess Elizabeth. I bet you would love taking care of her...

"He smiled"

"I guess so." She said to him looking down.

"Charles looked curiously at her"

You look worried, my Lady. You shouldn't be. Your father loves you. And he wants only the best for you...

"I don't know if I am ready for that your Grace." She said to him looking down.

"Charles nodded with a mile"

Yes...I can understand. But you're part of royal family. So you have duties towards your family. You're young, it's true. But your future husbband will be able to guide you, my Lady...
