"Oh. Jasmine, darling, your older brother comes with Lady Marianne."

"!? Already? Oh my… mother, I had told the lady tea would be waiting for her…"

"... Do not be silly. Lady Marianne will not mind such tiny details, dear." — Seating at an apart side of the refreshing tent raised for the women to gather, the Empress told her daughter, smiling gracefully as she stood beside her to gently tidy up her golden white long and straight hair… that the youthful Princess had purposely matched with the Lady's hairdo. — "Do not frown, stand prominent and control your Frotschter temper… you prepared these tea sessions thinking of the friend in your dreams. Did you not?"

"Yes, Mother… I am to reign my temper before brother."
