"Gardening? Growing vegetables?" Elizabeth could have thought of thousands of requests but this would have still not crossed her mind. A scowl formed on her face as she tilted her head and repeated Evangeline's words.
Evangeline laughed awkwardly and nodded. She knew that nobles did not do menial tasks like planting vegetables. But she did not find a good excuse and she wanted to talk to Elizabeth alone too.
"We do not plant vegetables in our garden." came the cold and curt reply of Elizabeth and then she narrowed her gaze on the maids who bowed and scurried from there.
"Then how about a walk in the garden?" Elizabeth knew that she was making excuses. She must have wanted to apologize, with that thought Elizabeth nodded.
