The beginning (3)

"Queen Hazel, it is time for dinner."

"Finally," Hazel answered, happy to have something to do.

After all the guests had left the palace, Hazel had no duty for the day, unlike Tobias, so she sat in a room to read a book, walked around a little, and then ended up back sitting to plan the gathering she would host.

Having nothing important to do had given her the time needed to start putting together a list of her peers she had seen in the past around the town but they were not at many gatherings. From daughters of doctors to even those with ties to the red light district would be invited. 

Hazel closed the book she was writing in and kept it with her so she could show Tobias her plans. She didn't trust to leave the book in the room for her plans to be spoiled and her first request for a gift from Tobias would be to have something made with a lock for her to store what was important to her.
