After the small incident where I voiced my mind too freely, the ladies didn't dare to touch any diplomatic topic again. The rest of the afternoon passed with small talk and gossip.
When all the ladies left, Princess Lyland expressed her thoughts about the party with a simple, short 'well done!'.
Now that I think about it, I haven't done anything except drinking tea, but I feel so tired. I stretch out my hand and cut a piece of cake. I was so nervous that I didn't eat anything, and it would be a pity to send all of this back to the kitchens without even trying it.
Only after tasting both the cakes and some of the pastries, I realise that they aren't as good as they look. It's the second time that I find my food not suitable for a duchess.
Maybe, it's the Empire cuisine that isn't to my taste. Still, the sweets look old rather than weird. Is that the reason why the ladies didn't eat much?
