Nancy Allen was held by Sophie Allen and led toward the door. Was there a New Year gift awaiting her?
At the entrance, she saw a pumpkin carriage that resembled one from a fairy tale.
Sophie's eyes sparkled as she said, "Ta-da! Surprised, Princess Mom? This is the pumpkin carriage we've prepared for you."
Godfery Shaw, who had unknowingly changed into a knight's attire, knelt on one knee and extended his hand, inviting, "Noble Princess, please step aboard. We are off to deliver blessings to everyone in the Imperial Garden."
It's hard for those who haven't seen it with their own eyes to imagine Godfery Shaw doing such things.
What might easily come across as cheesy was carried out by Godfery with an admirable grace.
Nancy Allen slowly walked over and placed her hand in Godfery's palm, which was genuinely warm.
She was helped onto the carriage, seated like a princess on a journey in her pumpkin carriage. No wonder the children insisted she wear a princess gown.
