Kapitel 61: the sound of Zither

"Your highness, I forgot to tell you that her majesty asked her highness for a tea party, and her highness could not refuse." Ian again took the side of Marianne.

I furrowed my brows, "her majesty, the new empress. As far as I know, today was the first time they met, then why did she ask Marianne to invite her?" although I asked, the question was more for me than Ian.

"Anyways, since her highness was the one who asked for the invitation, pass Marianne's bill easily and let her decide things, but make sure to check each bill by yourself. The expenditure should only be for the party" I could not take the presence of the empress for granted.

"Yes, your highness." with that he left the room too.

I walked to the desk and immersed myself in the files again. I waited for one more hour before calling it a night. As I walked out of the office my feet took me towards the central garden.
