Andelbert and Maria

Andelbert will take the reigns for this portion of the story.
As it is his story to tell.

I met with Maria in the gardens the morning after Britpop told me of his plans to return home. It was the day I had been dreading since I fell in love with Maria. I was conflicted and at a loss as to what I should do.

“You look upset, my love. What is it?” Maria said as I approached her.

“I am afraid I have some bad news. Britpop has decided to return to Kapri. He has given me his blessing to stay here if I desire. Maria, you know I love you with all of my heart, but I love Britpop as a brother and miss my home. I don’t know what to do.”

“I understand. You know my love for you is true. I would be devastated if you were to leave me. I also love my village. If you choose to stay, I am sure the King would allow you to stay on as a Royal Baker. The other chefs follow your recipe, but their bread is still not as good as yours.”
