When Sola was woken by Tarsia, she had a bath before dressing and putting on the tiara which had belonged to her mother.
She thought it would please her father on this special occasion if she wore it. She also decided to wear her Wedding gown again but this time without the train.

She thought also that it might be unlucky to wear a different gown from the one that she had worn at her Wedding.
“You looks ever so lovely, Your Majesty!” Tarsia said when Sola was eventually ready to go downstairs.
Sola smiled.
At the same time she was very much hoping that the King would think so too.
Then she told herself that she was being presumptuous.
He had a great many other things to handle without thinking
