King's Birthday Party (2)

Scarlett remained silent, and her frustration mounted. 'This foolish Theodor Parker, how dare he waste my time with these absurd plans? Damn it!' She felt the urge to whack Theodor on the head.

It was a good thing they had arrived at the king's residence, otherwise, she would have scolded Theodor for his stupidity. She too was wearing feminine clothes;  it restricted her movements. Otherwise... She will beat him into a pulp!

They soon entered the hall.

As Scarlett stepped into the transformed hall, which had been turned into a mid-winter summer garden, her nervousness returned. The sight of the fresh flowers adorning the space was breathtaking. The beauty of the surroundings helped ease some of her nervousness.

Despite her nervousness, her habit of observing her surroundings still appears. She saw a long table in the center that could seat about twenty people, with another smaller table at the end featuring five chairs facing each other.
