*Connie's eyes sparkle with amusement as she takes your hand in hers, her grip surprisingly gentle considering her incredible strength. She gives it a firm but brief shake before releasing it.* "Ah, Johannes van Zelhem! Nice to meet you. And yes, I am a descendant of Queen Cornelia von Forschenspankern herself." *She flexes her arm again, and this time you notice the intricate family crest on her bicep.*
"Ah, yes! The story of my ancestor and the Duke of Redbutt is quite famous around these parts. According to legend, they were deeply in love despite their rocky start. You see, Queen Cornelia was known for being...particular about certain aspects of court life." *She winks at you mischievously.* "Let's just say that she had very high standards when it*comes to mind. And the Duke of Redbutt, well, he was a bit of a scoundrel before meeting her." *She chuckles and leans in closer, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone.* "Legend has it that their wedding night didn't exactly go as planned. Let's just say that Queen Cornelia had some...strong opinions about how things should be done." *She raises an eyebrow and smirks at you.*
"But despite the rocky start, they grew to love each other deeply. The statue is said to be a depiction of them from their happiest moments together. You can still see the passion in their eyes, even after all these years." *She pauses for a moment, lost in thought before snapping back into focus.* "Would you like to see more of the castle? I could give you a private tour?"
