Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Begin Preparing for Designs

"Really?!" They asked with curiosity.

"Yes, everything went well. Thank you very much for everyone’s efforts," Arabella complimented them.

[Thank goodness!]

Her maids sighed in relief and asked for more details.

They were helpful and adorable so Arabella told them some general information she could reveal and they were delighted that she was not bullied.

In her past life, Arabella told them everything they inquired about. But since she had been betrayed in her past life and knew to keep something to herself now.

Likewise, after the incident with that "Being" approaching Evania (Renee), Arabella feared he would approach her other maids as well if they knew too much.

They were safer the less key information they knew. Especially since other enemy kingdoms who had insidious plans might approach them if they were informed with the most important matters.

"By the way, Your Majesty, how many people would you like to invite once you have your first tea party? Maybe we should begin designing the envelopes for them," Irene inquired about something that was already in Arabella’s mind.

They know Arabella had been planning for a tea party since they were the ones she was asking to purchase things for her.

There were a lot of fancy papers in Arabella’s office for the letters but they might need to ask for more special envelopes to emphasize that whoever attends her first tea party was highly valued.

Showing the other nobles that she had already gathered more than ten households and seven of them the most powerful ones would create a sense of her value and importance and make the other nobles try to curry her favor.

She needed as many households on her side as possible.

"I already have people in mind but I’m not sure how many yet," Arabella said and her maids glanced at each other in excitement.

[We will finally manage a tea party!]

For handmaidens like them, being in charge of the Empress’ tea parties were high honors. They could brag about it to other households as long as they do not reveal confidential information.

Tea parties also emphasize Arabella’s social circle and tell everyone of her standing in the society aside from the title she had gotten when she was married to Ferdinand.

Her social circle was a result of her efforts and how she dealt with people. Thus, her tea parties were of extreme importance and a lot of people wanted to be in it.

This was exactly why a lot of the ruling households who attended the Court Sessions wanted a chance to speak with her in person to try to get on her good side and be invited to her tea parties.

Unfortunately for them, she did not join the lunch with them today since she was already exhausted.

Ferdinand already told her not to attend lunch with everyone either since he was still traumatized from the time she got poisoned.

"Then should we begin preparing for designs?" Carla inquired next.

"Yes, please. Something simple but still fancy and elegant should do. If you have ideas, prepare samples and show them to me," Arabella did not want to exaggerate so the design did not have to be too fancy but it had to be elegant and of quality materials.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We will make several samples for you to choose from!"

They were fired up since they had been wanting to prepare for this but Arabella had only had unofficial tea parties with Clarisse, Blanca, Raymond, and Alwin so they did not have the chance to show their skills.

Her maids were already excited for an official tea party and already inquired what she would like for the event.

"What about the venue?"

"We can also think of a design for the venue."

"Would there be a theme we need to follow?"

"What foods should we serve?"

They had a lot of questions so Arabella brainstormed with them while Eunice took notes of everything that was discussed.

After a few minutes Carla recalled something, "Oh, right! The Chefs said lunch is ready. Should we tell them to bring it here?"

"Yes, I’d love to eat here for now. But you don’t have to go. His Eminence will inform the Head Chef," Arabella glanced at the balcony where Alwin was.

She felt too tired to walk to the dining hall which was also quite a good distance from here.

Sometimes she still could not help but internally complain at how wide this palace was. She got used to it in her past life but her body now was not yet used to it.

She had been trying to do morning exercises with her maids before they helped her bath but everything here was still so far from another.

Lobelius Palace was huge but the Imperial Palace was so much bigger. Arabella had honestly caught her maids internally complaining about it several times already.

Their quarters were close to her room so they could aid her immediately but the distances they had to go through for every errand was still quite a good distance.

Someone like Alwin who could teleport wherever he wanted was so much more comfortable than everyone else.

She could ask him to teleport her every time but she cannot use him like a machine. She still had some shame left in her.

’Alwin said I have a good amount of mana too. Maybe they can teach me how to teleport even just at small distances. Like from my room to my office or the dining hall. I will only use it here in the palace,’ Arabella once again had that wishful thinking.

She quickly pushed it to the back of her head when she recalled how long Alwin explained things to dissuade her. He even scolded her when she still wanted to.

She was tempted to ask Ferdinand since he might agree, or rather, she was sure he would agree if she asked nicely.

But Alwin might get angry and not help her anymore so she had to consider his worries as well. After all, she had contributed greatly to his fears from their past life.
