After taking a little rest, all the ladies and Turin followed the maid that came to guide them and arrived in a large and well decorated garden. There was a large table present in the middle of the garden filled with a lot of food. The decorations in the garden were of the same style as the decorations that were in the city and it looked really beautiful.
As the duke had not told them that the discussion that was going to happen was a garden party, none of the ladies were dressed for an occasion like this. When Alisia told the duke about it, he simply smiled and said that only the members of his family and the servants were present in the party, so it was perfectly fine to be casual.
