Allen picked up a teaspoon, scooping two teaspoons of earl grey tea leaves into the teapot, he then filled the teapot with hot water, allowing some of the hot air to escape before closing the lid. He pressed his gloved hand onto the lid, pouring the perfumed tea into a cup.<br/><br/>"Today, you would be required to attend your father's funeral, followed by the execution at two. I had the execution shifted to an earlier timing should you wish to have tea at three in the rose garden. After that, there will be a meeting by the council, they are deciding on a new ruler. Many have said it should be you, my lady." He set the teacup on a saucer and placed it on the bedside table. He walked back to the cart and set a plate laden with brioche on the table, beside the princess.<br/><br/>"In addition, the head of the castle security has recommended additional guards around the castle. And replacing the servant patrols with armed squads of guards." He closed the lid on the platter. "We will be leaving in an two hour's time, I will be back in a moment."<br/><br/>He left the room, and took the two dresses, the light and simple one and the heavy and elegant one, both were purple in colour. He took them and presented them to the princess, "Would you prefer the light gown or the heavy one? As it is spring, I suggest you take the light gown, but it's only a humble suggestion, my lady."
