*At the study.

*The Doors are open.

(Butler) Your Majesty, Her Serene Highness Is here.

(Alexandre) Good morning papa.

(Linceo) Good morning Alexandre, I’ve  heard that you join Prince Adolfo for breakfast. How was it?

(Alexandre) It was great, he was a good accompanist. And papa, I met Lord Leopold today. We bumped into each other this morning at the front of the restaurant where Adolfo brought me.

(Linceo) Really? How was he?

(Alexandre) He was alright and he was also happy to see me. And papa Leopold’s father Duke Briseo is your counsellor right?

(Linceo) Yes, He was my counsellor. Why? Is there a problem?

(Alexandre) No, there is no problem. I just want to ask where they are staying now?

(Linceo) Oh they were staying in Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin. I let them stay there for now because their house is in Dresden which is very far in Berlin.

(Alexandre) Can I go visit there papa?

(Linceo) What for?

(Alexandre) I want to visit Leopold. *Red as tomato*

(Linceo) Hahahaha, My daughter is all grown up now. Well, they are going here  tomorrow evening to have dinner with us. But If you want I will summon Lord Leopold to accompany you tomorrow while we are having dinner with the Duke.
