"Your Highness, let me hold it for you," Margaret said as she reached her hands out to take the woven basket from Laina.
"It's alright, Margaret, I can carry it. It's not that heavy anyway," Laina chimed as they continued down the hallway.
Laina had decided to bring Colette along to the Festival of the Felines. After all, what child did not like cats? Cute adorable furballs who delight up a room with their presence. Laina had the Royal Kitchen prepare a special basket filled with cat-themed sweets as a surprise for Colette.
When they reached the child's room, the maid who looked after her welcomed them in. She quickly knelt down to greet Laina respectfully as they entered the room.
"Laina!" Colette's voice rang bright and clear as she ran up to the Princess, leaping into her embrace.
"Ah what a warm welcome I'm getting!" Laina said with a hearty laugh as she fumbled to keep the basket in her arms.
