“But it is rather nice isn’t it? —— I’d rather have silence instead of loud, obnoxious laughing and stupid gossiping.” Valentina explained herself to her sister as she sat down on the bench next to her, playing with a strand of her white hair.
‘’Yes,’’ She paused, her eyes still scanning the surroundings, ‘’Very peaceful,’’ She finished, then turned her eyes to her sister. ‘’From your comment I gather you don’t enjoy court much?’’
Natalya looked around, her eyes scrutinizing every inch of the beautiful lake. The water sparkled like gold as the bright yellow sun reflected upon the clear blue water. A low sigh of admiration slipped softly from her lips. ‘‘How very tranquil it is here. Don't you think?’‘

“I’m fine yes, just feeling a bit faint all the sudden.”
‘’Perhaps we should sit for a little while.’’ Natalya offered, looking worriedly at the girl.
“I think so as well,” Dimitri agreed, falling back into step, “now I understand how easy it is to lose one’s mind if all they know is Kaborg. Could very well explain both of our predicaments.”
Natalya turned her face up as a warm sweet wind rushes along the garden, her steps matched his with grace. ‘’ True,’’ She agreed. ‘’I think now we wouldn’t take freedom for granted, as we use too.’’
Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I will end up an old maid.

“I am not going home. I am getting my fabric and making my dress,” Senja said.
‘’Alright, stay,’’ She said irritated. ‘’I’m going home.’’
How on God’s green earth could two sisters be so vastly different? What Rada knew of Senja was that, despite the good advice of her family, the Orlov daughter was recklessly wild and indulgent of her whims no matter how dangerous they may be.
Countess Natayla on the other hand, well, Rada could see easily how she might have captured the tsar’s attention.
“I am sure it would,” the Potemkin princess agreed, though doubting the compliance of the other woman. “Do contact me when reprimands are ready to be made. I do so hate to be at odds. Now I’m afraid I must excuse myself.”
She dipped, only slightly. “Countess.”
All the time that Rada spoke, the countess watched her, nodding occasionally. In this little time Natayla started to respect and to admire the young princess. Why her sister couldn’t be like that? She wondered. Her life would be much easier. ‘’I surely will.’’
‘’Your Highness.’’ She said, with a bow of her head.

“If Pavel had enemies, I would have known it. He didn’t drink other than with me,” Senja snapped. “If it wasn’t Erik then who was it?!”
‘’Who knows? But your brother isn’t for sure.’’ She said, rolling her eyes and feeling irritated. ‘’This discussion is over. Now we are going home.’’
“ Good.” Viktoriya responded as she moved further into the room and perched herself at a small but exceptionally decorated card table and grasped the packet, shuffling whilst her gaze fell upon Natalya. “ Are you going to share you woes this day? Or continue to suffer in silence? ”
Natalya followed Viktoriya to a small table by the wall. As she sat down she tried not to look so gloomy. ‘’It’s family matters,’’ The Countess paused to look at her friend, ‘’It shall just bore you.’’
It’s good to know that other people think differently, and that’s what makes the characters interesting.
“ Nothing in particular…though I was wondering if you would like to partake in a game of cards? Or are you content in sitting in your chambers all day? ”
‘’A game of cards?’’ Natalya repeated, as if she was pondering the suggestion. Then she tilted her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, and shrugged her shoulders. ‘’I don’t see why not. It’s not like I’ve anything better to do.’’ Perhaps this was what she needed, a company of another person, and ending of her solitude at least for today.
I think that there’s absolutely no point trying to force your body to be anything than what it is. I think that when you see people who are really pushing themselves to terrifying lengths to achieve what is perceived as being beautiful today, then that’s just terrifying, it’s really terrifying.
“Of course,” Rada agreed readily. “Such violence or threats may inspire some, but for any virtuous person, such as ourselves, it is abhorrent. I am glad to see that you fare well after such drama.”
Respect bloomed for the older woman, so collected and stately even faced with news of her wayward sister.
Pausing in thought, the young princess chose to say nothing of the countess’ inadequate falsehood, instead offering, “Then, if it only stress as you say, an apology to settle the matter is not out of the question?”
Natalya pursed her lips slightly as she nodded in agreement. ‘’ You speak truth, your highness. We never can forget who we’re- no matter of the situation.’’
This time she allowed a fleeting smile to cross her lips as she casted a look over at young Potemkin princess. ‘’As I’m to see you well and unharmed.’’
Straightening her back, she steeled herself to deal with anything Rada could say to her. ‘’I’m sure an apology would settle everything, and Senja would gladly comply.’’
