…Smiling at my jewels and laughing at the world…
Prince Charmont's heart had been dropping steadily as he read the note. By the time he was done, it had buried itself deep underground. Ella…married? The idea was absolutely preposterous. Hurriedly, Char grabbed a pen and paper, and began to write.
Dear Hattie,
If I may ask, to whom has Ella married? It would be a great favor to me if you could tell. I would like to pay her a visit after my stay in Ayortha.
With much thanks,
Prince Charmont
He sealed the letter quickly, before he changed his mind, and gave it to the postman. Too late, he realized that he had addressed the letter to Mandy, out of habit. Car worried about it for a minute, then shrugged. Mandy would get it to Hattie.
