Soon the bouquet began, as expected a lot of noble families were in attendance. Lady Regina arrived with princess Ema. Thanks to going princess Ema she still came in the Royal family carriage.
When the women saw her they lowered their voices to gossip. "I heard after the king married a new wife, he treated her very well. For her sake lady Regina was even asked to leave the Palace and stay in the quarter behind the Palace," one woman whispered to another.
"is that so, but she looks fine to me. I am sure the king will not treat her so badly," the second woman said.
"you must be ignorant to think that way. King George is not the first king to take another wife but he stripped her of her power and hand it over to the new woman.," the first woman replied.
"ahh! I wonder what kind of charm that maid used on the king. Lady Regina is very noble. Look she is still so beautiful," the second woman said.
Another noblewoman was just passing by when she heard the second woman say this. "you must hate your tongue so much to boldly call the Queen a maid. Will you be able to explain what you just said if words get to his majesty?" the third woman asked.
The second woman was scared. Even if she was a servant, she is already a member of the Royal family so some things can not be said out loud.
" Why? Can we not even whisper the truth among ourselves. It is a fact that lady Regina is a beauty to behold," the first woman defended her friend. She and the third woman were married to the same husband it is expected that they will never be on the same side.
Although the first woman supported her friend she did not dare to mention the new Queen. No matter her stupid she would not seek trouble with the Royal family.
"What beauty to behold. If she was so beautiful then the king would not have looked at another," the third woman was unwilling to accept defeat.
"ahh? Everybody knows, except you that the king only married the new Queen because she took care of his son," the second woman said.
"So? Did King George not also marry Lady Regina because he wanted children. Even then he did not give her any special treatment," the third woman argued.
All around the bouquet hall similar conversations were was going on among the women.
Just before Jeffrey was brought out to greet the guest. Princess Ellen finally arrived in the company of Ann and Richard. Princess Ellen was looking as beautiful as always but people were attracted by the middle-aged woman who walked beside her.
"ahh! I told you that the new Queen is a beauty to behold. Look! Do your cheek hurt from the slap," some people who have spoken up for the Queen asked the person next to them.
The people who spoke up for lady Regina could only keep their mouths shut. Initially, when they supported lady Regina they had been confident. Even if the new Queen was more beautiful, she has been a maid all her life. Even if she got the best dress in the kingdom to wear, they did not believe she will be able to carry herself gracefully in the dress.
Who did not know that even if the best clothes were put on a pick it will remain a pig but this time they have been slapped hard on the face?
Not only did the Queen not wear something too bright but she was able to carry herself with Grace. Her movement was graceful. It was impossible for her not to have been taught by a teacher.
Even if the king got someone to teach her, she should not be able to carry herself so well already. If she was able to learn to in such a short time, then she was talented.
"ahh! As soon as the rare Gram shows up, trash will become trash," a few of the noblewomen said out loud.
Lady Regina has been in the crowd for a well and she has been smiling generously since most of the people praise her look but hearing this talks around her, her face turned dark. Although she tried had to surprise he hurt. One could still see that she was in a bad mood.
"so what, if she looks beautiful. Being noble and grateful is not something anyone can learn in two days. Surely she can not put on the act for the entire evening," princess Ema consoled her mother in a whisper.
"That''s right, she will surely Embrace herself before the end of the evening," Lady Regina felt more at ease.
"your highness is looking very beautiful tonight," Lady Bridget and her family walk over to welcome Ann and the princess.
When Lady Regina saw this she felt sour again. Just now only the Zack Residence servant had come to receive her. What did the Zack mean by this? Even if she is no longer the Queen, she is still a member of the royal family.
"you praise me so well, lady Bridget. I am already this old and I have worked hard all my life. It is the younger generation like princess Ellen and Rose that is the real beauty," When Ann spoke her voice was calm and her words flowed naturally. Everything about her gesture was perfect. She looked like a woman born into nobility.
She even mentioned the fact that she used to be a maid like it was something noble. Some of the noblewomen who had never even swept the floor before felt insulted. If after working so hard she could still look so beautiful. Then what happened to them?
It was said that when a woman works so hard she will age quickly and lose her beauty but Ann has slapped their faces with her words. The heavens are indeed unfair.
She was proud of who she is, she wore it like an Amore. How could one hurt a person with such behavior?
"Your highness is too humble. You make the rest of us bow our head," Lady Bridget said. Ann smiled calmly.
"My friend you truly know how to make me happy," Ann said. "She is not trying to make you happy. You are indeed looking very beautiful," princess Ellen joined in.
Ann could not keep rejecting the compliment, so she smiled and thank Ellen and lady Bridget. Then a servant brought drinks to them.. Because of what happened the last time, Princesd Ellen was scared of picking up the drink.
