"Bam!'' The table crashed with the strong emotions of two women.
Katherine's face glowed like a wilted tree and was given good water and fertilizer while Sophia, her face turned like the bottom of a pot that had been forgotten on the stove for long.
The contrast was huge. It was worth watching how Sophia tried to control her ugly expressions. If possible, Katherine would have called a painter there and then and captured that look in a huge painting so that she could give it to her husband.
Sophia excused herself soon with the pretense of an urgent work she had forgotten all this time and left the table but Katherine could smell her jealousy from far away.
She only smiled and lowered her head to eat.
"Then excuse us too." Len and Luci stood up to bid her goodbye and left the grinning empress alone.
Her smile was only increasing with time when the maid stared at him with the corner of their eyes as if they were looking at a foreign being.
