Princess Elke thought for a while, and then something seemed to come to her mind. "Oh! Is this about the coffee house business?"
When Lady Yohana nodded, Princess Elke said, "How thoughtful of you! You're right. I do need your assistance with some things. But I am burned out from work. I love work, and I don't want to be stressed out because of it. Otherwise, I would lose the joy of working. So please, join us for tea. We'll head to the office after a drink."
Princess Elisa rose from her seat, opening her mouth, ready to protest but Celeste grabbed the youngest princess' wrist. She shook her head and whispered, "Don't do that, Princess."
Even though having the afternoon tea with Lady Yohana was uncomfortable for Celeste, she just had to endure it. Chasing Lady Yohana away would only raise questions in Princess Elke's mind.
