Aria didn’t respond and looked down at the menu.
‘The language of Dunham Kingdom.’
Most of the dishes eaten by the nobility in the Empire were developed in Dunham.
Another name for Dunham is ‘Heavenly Table’. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a country of gastronomy, and it was a kingdom with an extremely developed culinary culture.
Among the nobility, whether or not there was a cook from Dunham was a measure of wealth.
‘It looks like they’re looking down on me.’
Aria was still 14 years old, but she had been on Valentine four years ago. They think she’d never even learned Dunham’s language in the meantime.
“Oh, she’s so stiff that she can’t say anything.”
“She really doesn’t know?”
“I’ve been betting on the poor, low-ranking noble in the countryside. I think it’s not even that.”
A Lady whispered and giggled a little. She might have lost her bet, but she had fun.
No, it’s actually more interesting now. If not now, when would they ever mock the Grand Princess?
Also the Grand Princess of ‘Valentine’. She was a person who was in such a high position that they couldn’t even look at her.
“She may have really come from the gutter. Then, let alone foreign languages, she would have been in a hurry to learn the official language and etiquette of the Empire.”
“Now that I look at it, it seems that the manners of nobles were completely ingrained in her body, but if she was from the gutter, it would have taken her a few years just to get it into a habit.”
“Then, Lady Leshan?”
The Ladies and some Madams expected what Aria would say.
Will she ask for earl grey? Will you shed tears over the prank? Or was she so ignorant that she didn’t even know that she was being ridiculed?
Or, in reverse, read the menu fluently?
“Whoa, I’ll bet everything on my second bet.”
It didn’t matter either way. They were already bored by being tied to the imperial palace, and a clown appeared to entertain them.
No matter how Aria reacted, they were ready to laugh and have fun. However, contrary to their expectations, Aria did not say anything at all.
She didn’t hesitate or cry. She called the maid, who was waiting, and ran her fingers through the menu from start to finish.
– From here to here, bring it all.
And she calmly ordered.
Lady Leshan, the youngest daughter of County Leshan, was speechless for a moment. It was because the scale was too big to ridicule for escaping this situation in that way. She didn’t want to come forward yet, so she asked the question unknowingly.
“Are you talking about all the menus?”
– Yes, any problem?
“Isn’t it better to only serve as much as you can eat?”
– Ah……
Aria looked troubled for a moment. As if she had never imagined she would hear such a word.
– At Valentine, we decided after seeing all the menus prepared by the chef himself, is it different at this meeting?
As if it was the first time she had experienced it, she blurted out the end of her words.
