"We will both marry happily." Alessandra grinned as Avril linked arms with her. "You will be my children's godmother and I expect I'll be your children's godmother in return." She added, all thoughts of Lambert gone from her mind. "I'd like four. Two girls and two boys." She continued as they both made their way back to the party.  

As soon as the two girls were back in the ballroom, Alessandra craned her neck to look for her father. She saw him conversing with a duke just as the Queen waved them over. "Oh. She might mean to talk to me about my upcoming birthday." She whispered to Avril as they made their way over.

Alessandra gave the Queen a polite curtsy before she answered. "I have no prior engagements tomorrow, Aunt Catherine." She decided to be less formal since there weren't as much people in the ballroom as earlier. "May we invite Avril to join us?" She asked and flashed Avril a grin. If tomorrow was going to be about a party then the princess should be there. Avril was better with social gatherings than she ever was.
