Teren, Tara, and I went ice-skating yesterday on Lake Maxine. It was so gorgeous out—everything glistened with a crystalline glow. Tara was amazing on the ice, like a magical ballerina in motion. I had no idea she could be so graceful. Teren is also turning into quite a good skater. He and some other boys raced around the lake. Unfortunately, I think they let him win—being a prince and all. I wish they wouldn't do that, but you know how villagers are. He’s not so lucky with the boys at the castle.
I, of course, was also quite amazing. It’s been a couple weeks since I deployed the Frost, and my radiance has completely returned. As I skated, the ice lit up with a prism of colors. Everyone stopped to watch—that is until a young buck ventured onto the ice and slipped and broke his leg. We transported him off, and Tara healed him, so he’s fine. I don’t think he’ll try that again.
With so much to do, I haven’t had time to write up my beauty secrets. But I will. In the meantime, I was able to get the recipe for Winter Pudding from the little eatery when we had dinner with Grandmam and Granddad two nights ago. Thought I’d share that with you. It’s so yummy—especially on a cold evening.
Our Winter Solstice Party is tomorrow, so we’re headed back to the Castle. Mother went back last night. She worries too much about every little detail. I mean, that's what we have an entire staff to take care of. Guess she’ll never change. Must be a sister thing. Selena is the same way.
The party is going to be a Winter Wonderland themed ball. My gown is amazing. Margay outdid herself finding the dressmaker. The fabric is spun with crystal snowflakes.
Jake will, of course, be there, and I know he won’t be able to take his eyes off me. I shouldn't admit this—I am after all Queen—but I really do miss him. Nobody has that smile. And his beautiful green eyes. They light up when he laughs—or sees me.
Well, gotta fly. More later.
