LOCATION: the large hedge maze in the french gardens
FT: giuliana, crown princess of italy & open / @1642hqs-starters
She was lost yes, turned about and mixed up at which direction to head know it would be simpler to climb the tall hedge and go over the top but that would not be ladylike and would cause italy much embarrassment. However it was a small price to pay in the evading of Francesco Morosini, son of the dodge of venice and sea captain who had eyes on wooing a future queen. In so doing this, having much practice with a man she’d rather have find her than the arms of Duke Morosini here she was at another dead end. “I shall be trapped for hours here - perhaps I should pray to all that is holy that the duke doesn’t find me or I may need to climb the hedge to escape him… ”
Out of everything available to her at the French Event, Hanna very stupidly chose to attempt the hedge maze first. Assuring herself she was smart enough for it and that it would never be that difficult, she headed in. Several minutes and far too many turns later, Hanna truly was lost. Forever being the dramatic one, she was surely convinced she was going to perish, surrounded by dark green, towering leaves. Huffing, she continued to push forward, eventually coming face to face with another woman. Letting out an audible sigh of relief, Hanna gathered her skirts and moved toward the other. Stifling a giggle at the woman’s remarks about the duke, Hanna couldn’t help but respond. “If the duke can get us out of this ridiculous maze, I think it may be wise to trust him.” A teasing tone came with her comment. “However we may be old maids by the time that happens. I do not think I could tell you how long I have been wandering.”
