The tea party that was hosted by the duchess looked lame and dry. From the greeting until mid-event, they exchanged greetings, eating sweets, chatting about some current issues that she deemed useless, and eating again before they talked about some worthless issue again. It might be because of her lack of social skills but it was also unbearable because it was not her forte.
She was wearing her own personal dress that she wasn't aware she had thanks to how meticulous the queen was. She kept both Elizebeth and Evergreen's dress at her own big dress chamber, acted like it was some family heirloom or such.
"Lady Evergreen, may I know W$%%R^&I)(()*(..."
Evergreen shut down her system as quickly as lightning. She sent a desperate signal to the queen and the duchess. As such, her body had reached its limit. For introverts like her and Elizebeth, socializing consumed a lot of energy. They need more than a week to recover completely.
