It has been a week since the letter from The King came, since then gifts keep coming for her.
"Your Highness, have you see the carriage that arrived today? It looks splendid!"
"Oh my this dress looks so pretty on you Your Highness"
"Your Highness, see this..."
"Your Highness, that ....."
Marienne joyful chatters these days somewhat sound like bees buzzing to her ears and it is suprisingly annoying.
Eleanor was acquiesce with all the gifts but there is nothing she can do other than patiently waiting for her plan to bring her the news she has been waiting for.

The news of Princess Eleanor being hideous and barren spreaded like a pandemic to the whole continent. It was a talk and big news for not only nobles but also commoners. Some nobles began to questioned The King's action on her daughter's selfish engagement with Sir Winter. Some nobles blatantly offers their daughters to replace the princess position as Sir Winter's fiancée. Not only that, invitations for all sort of parties began to pile up at Eleanor's palace. The motive is obvious.
"Ahh what a good day for sword training. Even after hours of training, I still feel refreshed!" Eleanor smiled with joy as her plan succeed.
Ruth on the other hand looked so dispirited as if losing his beloved item. He didn't smile even a bit but being silent.
Seeing that face, Eleanor began to laugh with Ruth's exaggeration respond on her rumours.
"Ruth, you are like a brother to me. There is no need for me to explain my action as you know me better than anyone else."
"Let's head back El, today's menu is pumpkin soup."
Giving up with the silent treatment, Ruth lead their ways to the dining hall.
Smiling victoriously, this time she won. Next is annulling the ridiculous engagement.
