NEOMA had a wonderful lunch with Hanna, Duchess Amber Quinzel, and Lewis.
But since Hanna's real health condition was a secret even to the servants of House Quinzel, they ate lunch in her cousin's room. Well, Hanna's room was so big and so spacious that replacing the tea table with a dining table didn't feel out of place.
During their meal, she noticed that the duchess didn't mention anything about the "vision" that saved Hanna.
She only found out the reason when Duke Rufus Quinzel arrived and asked her to have tea with him separately. So, she left Lewis in Hanna's care and followed the duke in the tea room. She thought that Duchess Amber Quinzel would join them.
But much to her shock, the duchess left after personally serving tea and snacks to them.
Duke Quinzel, seated from across the table, sipped his tea before he asked. "Are you wondering why my wife didn't join us, Princess Neoma?"
