<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s been a while since I''vest seen you, Sophia." Thalia smiled at Sophia.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sophia nodded, "Yes, it''s been a long time."
<span style="font-weight:400">Thest time they saw each other was Keith''s 1st birthday. Sophia turned to Carolyn, "Your daughter has grown up."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings, Grand Duchess and Marchioness." The silver-haired princess greeted Camelia and Sophia.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Just call me Aunty." Sophia smiled. Carolyn was a little shy as she hid behind Thalia.
<span style="font-weight:400">But Thalia exined, "You have met the Marchioness before when you were little."
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn tilted her head. She met with the Marchioness before?
<span style="font-weight:400">Sophia chuckled, "She was only one at that time. She probably doesn''t remember me."
<span style="font-weight:400">Thalia nodded, "The only thing she remembers is the bunny."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh! The bunny!" When her mother said that, Carolyn shouted. Her expression turned red when she realized what she had done.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So you do remember?" Sophia asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn nodded, "Mmhmm. I remember receiving Mr. Bunny from someone. He was really kind and caring." She couldn''t remember who it was. But she remembered the person was kind and caring.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thalia exined, "That was the Marchioness''s son. He''s the same age as you."
<span style="font-weight:400">She turned to Sophia, "We shouldn''t stand here any longer. We can''t keep your guests waiting."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed." Like that, the four of them walked in.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thalia realized something, "We''re not going to be holding it inside?" Usually, parties like this would be held inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It will be different from the others," Camelia smiled. Like that, Camelia led them over to the garden. There were tables set up there.
<span style="font-weight:400">And each one had a flower vase on top of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings to the Queen!" The noblewomen stood up as they bowed their heads to her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thalia raised her hand, "At ease."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please sit over there." Carolyn and Thalia sat together with Camelia and Sophia.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a pleasing atmosphere," Thalia stated as she looked around. There was a light breeze today. The fresh air was nice.
<span style="font-weight:400">Maybe I should hold one in the royal garden next time. Thalia thought. She turned to Camelia, "This is a good idea."
<span style="font-weight:400">"This wasn''t my idea," Camelia smiled. Thalia tilted her head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who''s idea was it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That willeter," Camelia got up from her seat,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you foring here on such short notice. Please enjoy your stay. Please have some drinks." When Camelia said this, the butlers and maids came out. They each held teacups in their hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">They ced a cup in front of each noblewoman.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What tea is this?" It wasn''t the usual ck tea they drank. It was a dark orange color.
<span style="font-weight:400">And the smelling from it was something they never smelled before.
<span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen stared at Camelia, signaling her to exin,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s called milk tea. Please try it." Camelia exined,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Milk in tea?" The noble women looked as if they heard something sphemous. Camelia said nothing more as she sipped on the milk tea.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thalia and Carolyn stared at the milk tea. Thalia picked up the cup and took a sip. The other noblewomen stared at the Queen, wondering what she thought about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s delicious!" Thalia couldn''t help but exim.
<span style="font-weight:400">Noticing the Queen''s surprise, the others didn''t hesitate to drink it. Thalia was right. It was delicious.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The tea is so mellow!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no bitterness at all!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s nice to drink!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen were all shocked by this. Camelia added, "If you want your milk tea to be sweeter, please add what is in the jar to your cup."
<span style="font-weight:400">Thedies stared at the jar. Thalia was the first one to take the spoon out. A yellow, creamy substance dripped down from the spoon.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What is this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is condensed milk," Sophia answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do I spoon some in and stir it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Thalia followed Sophia''s word and stirred it in.
<span style="font-weight:400">When she drank it again, "I prefer it like this."
<span style="font-weight:400">It was much tastier.
<span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen followed as they continued to do so. Each one adjusted the amount to fit their needs. Sophia and Camelia gave some nces at one another,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bring out the snacks now." Camelia pped her hands, and the maids were ready as they quickly brought out something for them to eat. But when she did, everyone was surprised.
