When Princess Ievna entered the prince of Breviel's bedchamber, several palace maids watched her and threw her strange looks.
'The dispute in the kitchen earlier must have spread throughout the palace, and they must be curious about my identity. Just now they saw how I casually entered the prince's bedroom, and I dare not guess what was on their mind,' Princess Ievna shook her head as she tried not to think about it too much.
She made accurate predictions about how the news regarding the chaos in the kitchen was heard by all living creatures in the palace. The palace cooks had a pair of eyes and ears to witness such events, and apart from owning them, they also had mouths that would not close if such an interesting event were to occur.
It was true that only the cooks in the kitchen knew about it at first, but perhaps their mouths would itch if they weren't gossiping, and the wind in the palace was too strong to carry words from one ear to the other.
