Gemma POV
I was happy leaving Mum's room, one last look when I reached the door at her and left. I hope Dad is up for an emotional talk.
At dinner, Dad and the king were in full conversation over the progress of the fishing competition, not giving away our plans but about how big the weekend would be, far larger than we had ever thought. People from all over the world were coming because of our large fish stocks. The staff were excited too, a number had requested to have the weekend off so they could join the fun. The king sent a number to the cottage to work in the kitchens and laundry for the weekend, and could also have some time on the beaches. Everyone was hyper-ready for that weekend, some for different reasons. The palace will have a skeleton staff, which is the lowest in years.
