"YOUR HIGHNESS, please have this tea," Gypsy said as she served the tea that she personally brewed for the First Prince. "This is known to have a good calming effect. It will also help you clear your mind."

"You didn't look surprised by my marriage proposal, though," Prince Lucius commented, then he sipped the tea. His eyes went a little wide, as if he was surprised. "Oh, this is pretty good, huh?"
