Part of being a princess is going to events - balls, galas, parties, all extremely fancy and with mandatory attendance by all the royal families. El hates them.
The princesses of Albina are known, broadly, for being extremely civic-minded and hard-working and intense, generally just being excellent and tireless human beings. This is mainly because the older two are the ones who do most of the socializing and get all the time in the spotlight, while El is generally content to go as unnoticed as possible.
Normally, this strategy works fine, but unfortunately, both of her sisters were out of the country for this one, leaving El to fend for herself. Things were going so well, until she accidentally made eye contact with Beatrice Bailey Belladonna Etain, who she instantly recognized as the most dangerous kind of person to make eye contact with at a party: Someone who cares deeply. Just, in general.
Maybe if she acts like she didn't see her, she'll go away on her own...
