Chapter 163: Four Friends At The Tavern

Mrs. Adler took the basket to her kitchen and came back not long after with a tray. On it, she had a teapot of ginger tea, two cups, and a small plate with the pie slices.

She put them on the old rug spread on the floor and asked Emmelyn to join her for afternoon tea. Emmelyn smiled and sat across from her.

Mrs. Adler poured them a cup of ginger tea each and gave one cup to Emmelyn.

"Hmm... thank you. It smells amazing," Emmelyn said when she received the cup. 

"I dug out some of the herbs last week before winter. I can give you some of them if you need them," Mrs. Adler replied.

"Oh.. there is no need for that, the castle has enough ingredients to make whatever I want," Emmelyn quickly shook her head. "Thank you, though. I really appreciate your offer."
