Princess Eri had rushed to the orchards on a horse. As soon as she dismounted, her horse was taken away by the guards. The hem of her gown became muddy and weeds stuck in it as she walked. She cursed as she walked through the field. The worst part was that she had to walk all the way to the place where the group was already standing which was pretty far off.
They were all gathered around the gardener who was speaking about the benefits of the oranges and apples. Eri's eyes scanned the whole group.
She saw Lusitania, flanked by some princesses who were talking to her and were in deep conversation. Lerna was standing at the back, looking sheepishly at Lusitania while getting glares from the Queen of Orion.
Eri walked to Princess Tarazed who was looking highly interested in the gardener's talks. She said, "This all is very beautiful. You must come to Aquila to help us grow an orchard. There is plenty of space in the palace grounds."
