The words of Ameera made Luiza suspicious of the entire incident. What could have been the reason that the topic had become taboo? Why did no one ever protest? Or they did, but the kingdom seldom used them?
The chatter died down, and only the sound of stone grinding took over. Under her breath, Ameera cursed, "Tsk, why does he want us to labor hard when it could easily be done by a magical tool?"
Their hands were sore, and after a while, Elijah called them, "The dinner is ready!"
Ameera immediately halted her hands and left in the middle of work. Seemingly, Luiza continued to do her work, so Ameera gestured, "Luiza! Come over! Sir Ellie would do the rest."
Her round, doe eyes watched in confusion. Ameera walked near Luiza and took her hands as they walked out of the room. The entire mansion had the delicious aroma of cinnamon and spices in the air.
