The cloudy weather persisted for the next few days while Iris became looking on the ledgers the butler brought her. She made some calculations a few times to be sure the result was correct and was pleased to see that there was enough gold,silver and bronze for buying winter supplies to accommodate a few castles, not only one.But nevertheless, she tries to be as prudent with the spendings as possible. The butler was waiting for her, as well as Mary, to escort her to the kitchens where she planned to visit first to see what is needed.
When arriving there, the cook was glad to list the things he needed. But after some time, Iris' mind was distracted by something else. She scarcely ate that morning and the smell of freshly baked bread made her mouth watery. The cook probably noticed because he stopped in the middle of his words.
