Chapter 50: Tea Party

It was good for him to grow fond of the people, after all, he had been such a tactless ruler in the past. He had simply neglected the common folk. Partially, it was due to his lack of understanding. As such, Lumielle wanted him to understand their way of life. Decency was hard to breed as Lumielle felt her own morality slowly fracture.

Sylvia's hands were braiding her hair. Beautiful gold lace had been twirled between lilac tresses as she was wearing the dress that Asterias had bought for her. The black hue proving to be a lovely background against the halcyon embroidery. It was a beautiful dress as Sylvia had gushed about how romantic it was that Asterias had gifted her something so invaluable.
