Stand By Me Darling

Sitting leisurely with her legs crossed in the garden chair, Talia watched Lady Jolene Montfort seriously going through the plans for the Spring Ball. As Talia’s Lady in Waiting, she had some responsibilities that are administrative and most of her responsibilities are just ceremonial.

With her short red hair flowing in the wind freely, Jolene was so immersed in the dinner arrangements for the Spring Ball together with the other lady in waiting Talia chose.

The other one Talia chose was Lady Celine Delafosse and she was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Sarlon. She, true to her name, had a Heavenly beauty, with beautiful curly blonde hair and beguiling blue eyes and pink, naturally plump lips. Her voice was so soft and melodious and she was very pleasing to look at and get along with. She had a very good understanding of decors and flower arrangements. Talia felt like Lady Celine compensate what she lacks and chose her to be with her.

Lady Jolene was wearing pantsuit and had a very simple makeup on. She was someone who never cared for what others thought of her and had the heart through plow through difficulties to attain her goal. Although she had the bad habit of speaking her mind without filters not caring of it hurts the listener or not, she had a very funny side to her too. Most of her humour would be self-deprecating and that made her easy to get along with and her charm made her shine.

Lady Celine on the other hand was a very delicate and soft-spoken woman who at most times won’t speak her mind although she had good ideas. She measured her words trying not to offend anyone and even when she gets bullied, she does nothing about it. At times Talia got reminded of Stacy when she looked at Lady Celine, but she knew Lady Celine had a very pure heart. She was raised shielded from the world as she had many elder brothers and sisters, but she was extremely smart as she had read many knowledgeable books. In a way she seemed like the test book version of how a lady should be and even Talia was amazed by her demeanour.

Talia spending more time with them, felt both of the ladies, entirely different, were very easy to get along with and she found them both impressive.

I’m not going to lose them both! Let Lambert find his own woman!

In the past, the ladies in Waiting weren’t allowed to marry without their mistress’ permission, but times are different now. The ladies in Waiting can marry whomever they want to.

But if the cute Lady Celine marries Prince Lambert, she’d become Princess Consort and she cannot be her Lady in Waiting anymore. But if she marries anyone else, she could still be her lady in waiting. Talia didn’t want to lose Lady Celine. The flower arrangements she suggested for the Spring Ball, were so amazing.

Lady Celine’s family is very rich and she doesn’t need to work on her life. But if Lady Celine starts a party planning company, she’d be the most successful one in the world.

But it is better if she is with me. I won’t have to bother with the stupid flower arrangements.
