The next day during breakfast, Andromeda was gently advised by her mother to take some rest. Duchess Anastasia, with a calm and composed demeanor, said, "Andromeda, you have endured quite a significant ordeal. Today, you should spend some time with Delphine. Play together, and later, I will have sweets baked for both of you."
Andromeda nodded, though the mention of Delphine stirred little excitement within her. The Duchess continued, "I, however, must prepare for the garden party in celebration of your triumph. There will also be a dress fitting this afternoon so come to the parlor."
Once breakfast concluded, and with Delphine bound to her classes, Andromeda donned a thick coat, opting for a solitary walk.
