Chapter: 229

Satisfied with Astelle’s hardened expression, Vellian politely thanked Kaizen.

“It is an infinite honor for Your Majesty to attend my first tea party.”

Participants sit around the center table.

The Marchioness and Florin sat next to each other, and Astelle sat next to Vellian.

Of course, Kaizen took the top seat.

Handmaidens poured fragrant tea into white teacups on the table.

The inside of the tea room was beautiful in its own way.

The whole wall was light green jade, and the floor was blue marble.

The windows were beautifully draped in mint-colored silk curtains.

The tea party was a casual social gathering. All the invited ladies sat down, drank tea, and chatted for a while.

When the weather is nice, there are occasions where you can take a walk in the garden or listen to music to refresh the atmosphere.

It was a short event that lasted about an hour or two.

Most of them invite close people, so they chat in a simple and friendly atmosphere.

However, instead of a friendly atmosphere, there was only an uncomfortable silence at this table.

Kaizen and Astelle were divorced, and Florin was the young girl mentioned as Kaizen’s future wife.

Florin’s mother, the Marchioness, saw Astelle as an enemy.

Even Vellian didn’t seem to intend to set the mood as he was trying to figure out Astelle’s true intentions and keep her from doing anything stupid.

In this situation, the atmosphere was not good.

After a moment of silence, a lively voice lifted the heavy stillness.

“I brought tea and dessert for today’s tea party. It’s a dessert made with ingredients brought from the capital. Very tasty.”

Florin was still cute.

She also smiled kindly at Astelle.

“I am looking forward to what it will be like,” Astelle said.

“If it’s okay with you, I’ll bring the dessert I brought.”

At Florin’s orders, the maids brought the plates from the tray to the table.
