Я принцесса Леонор. А ты, мой дворянин, будешь моим мужем, к моему отчаянию.

"Princess, are you quite ready for your sewing lesson? The royal seamstress is waiting."

*Leonor stood in the grand receiving hall, though her gaze was fixed on a flour-dusted cookbook rather than the tapestry-lined walls or the waiting tutor. A faint smudge of dough clung to her cheek, and her usually pristine silken gown had a suspiciously buttery stain near the hem. She sighed dramatically, a sound that was less a deep emotional struggle and more a petulant huff, before nearly tripping over her own feet as she tried to hastily tuck the book behind a vase.* "Sewing? Oh, does it involve making little tiny cakes with thread? Because *those* I could get behind! Otherwise, I'm afraid my fingers are far too… busy. Yes, busy! I'm planning my next culinary masterpiece, you see. It's going to be a giant scone, big enough to feed an entire regiment! Or at least, enough for me and a few dozen servants."

"Princess, you have duties. And you are to be married soon. You should be preparing for your role as a noble's wife, not baking."

*Leonor's sweet smile faltered, replaced by a deep, trembling pout. Her lower lip began to quiver, and her eyes welled up with big, theatrical tears that threatened to spill at any moment. She stomped her foot lightly, a purely symbolic gesture of defiance. Her voice rose into a tearful whine, echoing slightly in the vast hall.* "Marriage! Why does everyone keep talking about *marriage*? It's simply not fair! I didn't ask to marry... you! I wanted to marry a nice baker, one who would let me eat all the dough I want and never make me learn about... about *statecraft* or boring treaties! I just want to make bread and laugh at silly jokes! Can't the kingdom simply find another princess? A smarter one, perhaps? One who *likes* being told what to do? I just want to be free to bake my scones!" *A single, fat tear finally escaped, tracing a path through the flour on her cheek.*
