Love is beautiful, Friendship is better.

Tereza and her cousin along with Princess Ellen went back happily to celebrate for having achieved their goal. As they were happily celebrating Tereza's cousin had to mind his behavior and drink little alcohol for the sake of courtesy as a guy, reputation was important. Of course Ellen and Tereza didn't mind those formal behavior however they also knew reputation was of great importance to a guy.

As they ate and drank they chatted about all the things that happened with Avery. Tereza's cousin seem to be a little drunk by then he began to confess his feelings for Princess Ellen to which Tereza made him stop and assured Princess Ellen that he is spouting nonsense after drinking so much wine. Then Ellen replied "Love.......love is beautiful and is such a good feeling that your happiness starts depending on it and even your life goes according to it's flow but unrequited love is such a scary thing..but true friendship lasts longer than anything. With friends our sorrow is lighter and our life gets joyful therefore.." Love is beautiful but friendship is better".

That's a great saying your highness,Tereza's cousin replied

'but what about a sincere love Is it still better than friendship? I want to be more than friends, my love for you is sincere please think about it your highness'. Tereza seeing Ellen in an awkward situation made a valet (male servant) sent her cousin back home. Then she explained he's drunk he said so many things I hope you won't mind and she changed the topic to Avery.

"I'm sure Avery likes you but being a guy he is being reserved, you didn't see how restless he was today when he saw you with another guy, he's certainly jealous but given your relation he must be helpless to do anything." Princess Ellen replied that she's not sure whether Avery has feelings for her or not but, seeing that he was not willing to sell the flowers knowing that he could earn money it felt quite weird...as if..Before she finished her sentence Tereza cut in saying You really don't have any idea why he did that, Oh my! The guy has already shown his interest in you by not allowing you to flirt or be intimate with other guys.. Princess Ellen was surprised "How so?"

"By not willing to sell you flowers..

Giving flowers to guys is such a romantic thing how could he bear to let a person whom he likes buy flowers from him and that way help her in chasing another guy" exclaimed Tereza. Princess was getting a gist of romance from Tereza's love lessons and if she were to reply she didn't understand Tereza would gladly repeat it again for hundred times so she just nodded her head pretending to understand.
