Iduna POV

"Quickly! The southern isles aren't patient with their cold tea!" Marlin claps her hands and I rushed to the garden with plates of dessert for the nobles.

This is the final test before we are officially staff servants of Arendelle castle. And I better darn well make it right.

"My lady." I curtsy to Grete as she cheekily took a few butter cookie from the plate.

It was a dry run of how a garden ball would happen, but the thing is we will never know when the actual run would happen, so we have to be prepared to face any kind of balls and parties if we were notified last minute.

I curtsy to Miss Emilie as I went to other dignitaries offering Arendelle delicacy.

"What is this wonder butter?" Kai stopped me and took a bite on the butter cookie.

"Sir, this fine delight is founded back in the late 1600s, it is made from our Arendelle grazed sheep. Churn at the right pace and time to get the texture. Sir don't mind if I ask, do you feel the crumbling of the cookie?" I asked politely with posh tone, make me seemed pretty professional.

"Oh why yes. It melts in my mouth as I pop in my mouth." Kai laughed as he pops more cookies down.

"Wonderful information. Thank you dear." Kai nodded, "Tea will be right up in the corner, do enjoy a cup." I ended and curtsy before I left.

I quickly went out of the garden. As I thought my shift was over, I bumped into someone. Hot water then started soak into my outfit and cups in shatters.

Uh-oh.

Forget about doing well and what not flying colors, passing would be consider quite good in my opinion.

"I am sorry!" Ella quickly took out a handkerchief and tried to clean the mess.

"You should get a new cups, your test isn't over. I will clean up this mess, Not to worry." I shoo her away as I used the wet cloth to pick up the shattered cups. Someone then comes with gloves and trash as we cleaned it up.

"I wonder how much is these cups." I heard some mumbling from behind. I stunned, realizing these antique could cost up to 3 months of my salary.

I guess I could wait longer for the candies.

I quickly dry the patch of water before the dry run is over, though with unsuccessfulness. Sighing, I made my way to the drawing room for a debrief, Marlin is going to rambled about the expensive cups.

"I seen remarkable actions over the mini ball we hosted today." Marlin smirked at me as I gulped.

"Communication, teamwork. I seen all of the display which is why I am in a good mood today." Marlin chuckled as everyone followed, she seemed particularly happy today, which is good news for everyone.

"Everyone passed." Kai announced, People cheered as I clapped with the flow, "However, that doesn't means that it ends here, lessons still follow up after your break." Kai continued.

"You shall receive your royal promotion in a few days. Enjoy your few days of rest. Dismiss." Kai said as everyone cheered, I fiddle with the cloth as Marlin still stood at the podium.

Please Please Please. Maybe just forgot about it. Or even pity my wallet.

"Of course, any accident happened today won't be accounted for." Marlin added, I then sighed heavily in relief. As twenty of us are leaving, Ella stopped me.

"I can't thank you enough Miss Iduna. I freak out and you got me back on track, I would have failed if not for you." She bowed repeatedly towards me as I awkwardly held her up.
