"So, today is the day you finally notice the king's concern for us?" Princess Sophie teased. Lady Lysander chuckled softly. "Do not mind him. You know how Martin is." Ignoring their banter, Alex turned to the group and asked, "What are your plans for today?" "Plans? Well, I was thinking of finding a cozy spot in the garden and taking a nap," Martin said with a yawn. Princess Sophie grinned. "That sounds like a perfect plan for you, Martin.

It is a testament to the dedication of the palace's gardeners."Alex paused to admire a particularly rare flower, his expression one of genuine appreciation. "I have always been fascinated by botany. There is so much beauty and complexity in the natural world."Their leisurely stroll led them to a tranquil gazebo nestled among the trees, its intricate design providing a perfect retreat from the midday sun."Shall we take a moment to rest
