".. I appreciate that, Ella.. Thank you." Hattie replies, looking a little surprised. Yes, it was delivered boringly, but that's natural as Ella is a boring person, you see. To the comment after that, though, the blondes brows raise, "What, you mean you didn't know?"

She smiles wide, "Oh goodness, you really don't! Oh you poor thing, you've missed out on only the best news! Well, actually, it's fitting since you disappeared for months. You see, Sir Edgar requested to see me, he sent me a royal invitation and everything on the most gorgeous parchment. Long story short, he gave me Prince Char's hand in marriage in exchange for a most important favor.. So.."

Hattie gives such a smug smile, "So I'll gladly wait for an apology for your blasphemous words."

A pause, then she frowns. "'What does it matter', she says. Get a clue, Ella."
