Chapter 23
“Wow.”
The next afternoon, after riding in Emmett’s carriage to arrive at the Dneuve River, Liv’s eyes sparkled.
Under the dazzling summer sunlight, people in light clothing were enjoying the cool river breeze, settling on the grassy areas. In one spot, an artist had set up a model to paint, while a musician played the violin, accepting money from onlookers. Though a bit disorderly, it was a lively scene that made Liv keenly aware she was living in human society.
As Liv looked around admiring the river, Emmett instructed a servant to prepare a spot for them.
“Umm.”
Soon after sitting on the yellow blanket laid out for her, Liv let out a small sound. Sitting in her voluminous dress with the teacup on the ground and pouring tea proved more difficult than expected.
Seeing Liv’s troubled expression, Emmett opened his mouth with a flustered look.
“I forgot the tea table. I left it in the carriage, so I’ll go retrieve it.”
Since he had sent the servant back to the carriage, there was no one else to fetch the tea table.
“Miss Liv, please wait here for just a moment, I’ll be right back.”
“Alright.”
Liv nodded obediently and hummed a tune as she waited for Emmett’s return.
