Anastasia led the group of noble ladies to the garden after a quarter of an hour walk. Because she had arranged for umbrella in advance the sun was not harsh on them besides this small walk provided an opportunity for the ladies to chat amongst themselves.
Bridget and Beatrice took the opportunity that Anastasia was close to their sister to walk beside her not giving other noble ladies the opportunity to get more familiar with her.
Of course most of the ladies here wanted to get close to Anastasia, so they turned and had small conversations with Elizabeth. After all, Elizabeth had arrived last and skip etiquette. Calling Anastasia sister , with Anastasia ignoring what should have been a case of disrespect.
Elizabeth was thrilled by this attention. After all, her Duke family did not have much influence within the royal capital and this ladies were from a higher noble class.
