Chapter 60: Drop of Blood (6)
The reason Lady Freya of the Freya family was able to avoid the disaster at the Duplain mansion was because the Mont Blanc she ate during afternoon tea was delicious.
It sounds absurd, but in reality, she was sitting in a corner of the mansion’s kitchen, holding a beautiful Mont Blanc dessert on a plate in her lap.
The servants, busy as if possessed while delivering food to the ballroom, didn’t even notice her hiding under a table in the corner.
While silently watching the servants move like machines, Lady Freya was confused about what to do.
‘…’
If you explained it, the situation wasn’t complicated.
Normally, her strict tutor Katia kept a close eye on her back home, but she was delighted to be able to eat pastries freely at the southwestern ball, far from her tutor’s interference.
So, after sampling various drinks, she fell in love with the Mont Blanc that the Duplain mansion’s pastry chef proudly served.
While the other nobles rested in their private rooms, she told her loyal maid she was going to the restroom, then headed to the kitchen to grab more Mont Blanc.
