Among royalty, the importance of one's entrance cannot be understated. Not for any political reasons, but simply because royal gossip is merciless, and roughly as fair as playground chatter.
Commentary
- Ellen's canon singing skills from way back during Grace's birthday party
The more musically-inclined among you, and likely even the less musically-inclined among you, will notice that the musical notes I have chosen to decorate panel one with make little-to-no sense when paired with Ellen singing a single, prolonged word.
As I am uncertain how that would actually look on a music sheet, and only wished to vaguely convey "this is a musical thing that is happening", however, I hope I may be forgiven.
The value of grey I used for Ellen's hair is the lighter "this is most definitely green, trust me" value. I debated whether I should use that when it occurred to me that the color in canon is a result of a connection to what may or may not be a literal dragon scale, and this Ellen is a princess.
If ever it were thematically appropriate to imply some manner of connection between Ellen and a possible dragon, this was it.

Patreon specific side note: For anyone wondering why the image name has a "true" in it, it's because past me accidentally numbered the previous comic image as 43 when it should have been 42. Putting "true" in the name will keep the image order correct for anyone saving them, and make clear which one is the real 43rd comic (granted, context alone does that).
As an additional side note, there's usually a letter at the end of the image names, and that's to help me keep track of versions. If a comic image ends in something other than "a", it potentially means I fixed something after it was originally posted.

It feels like it's been a while since Ellen was in the comic. It's good to see her again. :)

The technical term is 'melisma', which was especially popular in Baroque music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melisma#Examples

I sang a word in choir that covered 3 measures with 16 notes. And one syllable. It can be done easily.
