Princess Maria: Hi Bella, thanks for coming
Princess Isabella: Of course I had to come. When you told me you were doing something as brave as inviting the Vitalis for tea I needed to be there to support you
Princess Maria: It means so much to me that you’re here
Princess Isabella: You can always count on me to be there for you Mari
Princess Maria: Okay. It looks like they’ve arrived
Princess Isabella: Are you okay?
Princess Maria: Yes. Thank you both for being here for me
Simon: You’re my wife. I’m not going anywhere. we’re in this together
Princess Isabella: ...
Duke Vitali: Your royal highnesses. It’s been such a long time
Princess Maria: Too long I would say.
Duke Vitali: Thank you for this gracious invitation
Princess Maria: and thank you for accepting Duke Vitali
Princess Maria: Likewise to you both Marquess and Marchioness Vitali
Marquess Enzo: It is our pleasure your royal highness
Princess Maria: And to you also, Marquess and Marchioness Vitali
Marquess Santino: You may also call me father-in-law your royal highness. We are family now after all
Marchioness Sarah: You may also address me as mother-in-law if you wish your royal highness
Princess Isabella: (thinking) What a joke. Marquess Enzo and the Marchioness are clearly still grieving the “death” of their son. Now they have to face their ex-daughter-in-law who has remarried their nephew. While Marquess Santino and Marchioness Sarah are trying to brag that the power Maria holds is on their side of the family now. Not to mention the Duke himself, proudly peacocking about because his grandson is a senior member of the royal family. After all this time the Vitalis are still the same. How disgusting.
Duke Vitali: I see you’ve brough my beloved great-grandchildren
Princess Maria: Of course we did. They’re currently with my lady-in-waiting.Â
Princess Maria: Liliana!
Liliana: Hello your graces
Duke Vitali: Oh ho! This is quite the turn of events
Princess Maria: Pardon?
Duke Vitali: This is your lady-in-waiting, yes?
Liliana: My name is Liliana. It is a pleasure to meet the members of the esteemed Vitali family.Â
Duke Vitali: Yes... How nice to meet you. Quite the reunion this has turned out to be...
Duke Vitali: (claps) Well let’s not stand here all day. Let me see my great-granddaughters
Princess Isabella: (thinking) There’s something here that I’m missing...
