"Haste away, young lady. A young Captain Bradford is waiting for you in the ballroom. He's spent many hours filling out parliamentary paperwork, as well as a lengthy wait for parliamentary approval, before I would allow him to see you." (30.30)
The rules for courtship get worse when you're royalty, it turns out. Azalea had been kinda heartbroken that she hadn't heard from Mr. Bradford after the whole thing with the High King D'Eathe went down, but it turns out that he's been following the rules and pursuing her through the proper channels (a.k.a. parliament). She's mostly just happy to learn that he cares about her after all—sometimes rules can obscure the fact that people have feelings.
