We will see each other again, I assure you of that.
[With Maria leaving, Zelda already feels that the room has become colder. The next few weeks would be rough. Having to attend to her duties, be polite while dismissive of other suitors... As least she was able to convince her father that attending the ball. He saw it in the end as somewhat of a good strategy to "befriend" those further away from their home. Or he did after Zelda carefully suggested to him that it would be.
She herself wanted everything to be perfect. Keeping that Maria was attending the function from her father, she had more freedom to choose a gown and who would accompany her. She was remiss that was forced to bring at least one lady in waiting, though the girl could easily be bribed to be as quiet as a mouse.
Now all she has to do was make it to the ball. And hope her nerves would not make her do something foolish or hysterical. It wouldn't be too much longer till she saw her beloved Maria again.]
