If the actual situation allowed, the Second Prince would have liked to host a grand banquet, inviting guests to his home well in advance. The problem was that the Church had suddenly issued a command early that morning for everyone to gather in the Westminster District. In the rush, the Second Prince didn't have time to prepare a large quantity of high-quality ingredients, and to entertain the picky nobility with inferior ingredients would have been exceedingly impolite.
After careful consideration, the Second Prince decided not to serve too much meat at the banquet. Instead, he resorted to focusing on desserts—a dessert party, as the ingredients needed for sweet treats were much simpler than those required for proper meat dishes.
Although he had no time to prepare a large quantity of high-quality ingredients, the Second Prince still served two-month-old lamb, just as he always boasted of being a gourmet and would never compromise on food.
