After the incident at the royal family's ceremony, Annalise had come to have tea with Eva. Or at least that was the cover story the royal family used to pay Lucas and Eva a visit.
They arrived by carriage and the three royal children came clamoring out of it to play in the gardens. They had a lot more freedom at the Einhardt estate as it was largely more secure than the palace.
They were also away from prying eyes here. Even Theodore let down the mask that he had learned to put on around other nobles. If they were lucky then some of the knights would play with them as well.
It was just such a day that Lee had the afternoon off and a game of tag had begun with the elf. The children clamored throughout the garden in search of hideouts as he counted away. Giggles could be heard in every direction.
Instead of the usual maid, Fiora brought in the tea for the ladies and two gentlemen glaring at each other.
