"Madam," Victoria softly began, "I picked these from the garden... I don't know what to say right now, but... but I think Officer Cali must be as great as my father, and I want him to know, we all still remember him."
Mrs. Cali was already choked with emotion, yet at this moment, she suddenly felt an incredible silence.
She knelt down, accepted the flowers, and nodded gently, the words of gratitude condensed into a single phrase: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing this, Victoria couldn't help but lift her head to look at Arthur, until she noticed the grammar teacher nodding slightly, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Victoria waved her hand lightly towards the church door, instructing Arthur, "Sir, please lead the way."
Arthur nodded slightly, bent low, and responded to the order of the not-yet-crowned Crown Prince with the simplest etiquette.
"Yes, Your Highness."
