With the presence of Princess Agnes, the heated argument between the ladies was put to a halt. Princess Agnes truly suited the position of the empress. She didn't have to question the ladies about what happened but feigned ignorance about it, whilst diverting their attention to a much more 'intelligent' topic they all could learn from and enjoy.
In the end, the ladies ended up on a less terrible note; Lady Julienne, however, was still apparently displeased but had to hold her emotions in. When the afternoon tea ended, Lady Ivory was the first to excuse herself, as she could no longer endure their 'insufferable' presence.
"Hah…" Suzanne rolled her eyes as the two ladies departed the pavilion. She didn't even conceal her attitude, despite that Princess Agnes was still sitting with them.
"Suzanne, you need to practice self-control," said Aries with a faint sigh. "You too, Sybil."
