Afternoon Tea

Weeks had passed since Dharya and his sister first arrived in the Royal Palace of Germany. The two siblings had been well looked after during their stay, and Ewald had recently discharged Priya from the infirmary. Currently, the two siblings were sitting in the dining room enjoying afternoon tea.

Priya was engorging herself on a variety of german sweets like a little glutton. The girl was particularly fond of black forest cake, which was recently added to the list of german cuisine after cocoa beans were transported en masse from the colony of Berenstadt to the Fatherland. 

Since Tlexictli returned to the Empire after her trip to her homeland, she had continued to oversee the constant influx of cocoa beans across the atlantic, as well as the processing of the beans into chocolate. It was a massive trade, as chocolate had begun to dominate the sweets market.
