Do not despair

Honour, with the help of the prince and next to no help from her mother, was done pruning (and sometimes hacking at branches that had grown a little too much).

With well-explained instructions from the girl, they both managed to put the flower shop back in order after three hours without incidents( there might have been a few).

The prince rushed the trash out of the shop and came back in as Honour placed the last pot on display. Wiping the sweat from his brow, "This is no easy task, you know."

"It gets hard the moment you don't take delight in doing it," the girl replied, barely showing a hint of exhaustion from the work they'd been doing.

"I didn't think I would ever find chores impressive. You don't even look a little worn out. You should take some delight in the morning training drills," Drake joked, pouring himself a drink from the water dispenser.
