Bab 116: No exception!

"Queen Elizabeth?" Alice once again asked with the little bit of curiosity that had already resided in her heart. "Why did she give you this? Although it is still beautiful.." 

"As I told you, I had completed my few years in the Gazelle Kingdom. It was because of the same, lady Ashley had kept a small celebration for the same. On the same occasion, the Queen had gifted me these gold bangles." Lady Aura had told Alice happily. 

At the same time, Alice only noted how happy she appeared to be. Even when she gazed at those bangles, if, they captured her heart thousands of times. 

But to avoid suspicion in her head, Alice had to finally answer back, "That is very nice of her..."
