“aghh” Sanji fell, tripping over the hem of the lady’s dress.

Katherine “God! Your Majesty! your dress... it's torn ! ” The girl said covering her mouth with her hands.

Conversations between those present were divided,there were some who mocked and giggled at the fallen maid and those who felt sorry for her to take into account the poor maid.

Cecilia "You...I haven't seen your face, so you'd better get out of my sight...
My patience isn't at it's limit yet...

Elia “Your Majesty, you are so majestic and wise... I will always admire you!” Said the girl with sparkling eyes.

Elizabeth “Can I ask why you let her go..?

Cecilia "I was just checking on her..
I’m not blind so as not to see her features, although there are a lot of servants here, I know my people.

Elia "But..even if so, why did you let her go so easily?
This outfit costs a fortune...

Katherine “Yes, I saw it in the window of the Eminir salon, made by one of the most senior and qualified and also expensive seamstresses in the capital.

Natalia “I also inadvertently heard that even a member of the royal family must wait to meet her...

Cecilia "yes..this dress was made to order and was included in the season of the best designs of Mistress Etilla..
It cost me a pretty penny.

Anna “Sorry to interrupt, but...Didn’t you let her go because a person’s life is more valuable than a rag that can be changed?

Elia "You speak as if Her Majesty was going to kill her.

Katherine "her punishment wouldn't  exceed a reprimand for damaging property..

Anna “But you wouldn’t ask her to compensate for the damage? You saw that she didn’t fall on purpose... isn’t it lady?

Katherine "Well, it's...

Cecilia "Girls, there is no need to quarrel, I let her go for a reason...
The lady grinned, “As I already said, I’m checking her.”
“Let’s see if I have a rat in my hole..” she whispered under her breath and put her insidious smile on her face.

Katherine "But..what are you testing?

Cecilia "her bravery...

Elia "if she dares what ?"  The girl answered, bowing her head.
All the girls thought about what the empress said and waited for a further answer.

Cecilia “I want to see if she still dares to look into my eyes and flicker in front of them.
  At this time Vienna returned, apologizing for being late.
After which everyone began to re-discuss every little thing from high society.

Cecilia “Well lady, thank you for accepting my invitation and welcoming me with your visit, I hope we see each other soon.

Catherine “Of course, Your Majesty, hunting competitions will soon take place, where all the nobles of the empire will be present.

After Sanji reached the Duke's mansion, all in a hurry, he immediately headed to Argen's office.

"Mr! ha..ha..
Mister!

"Sanji? Is that you?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll return to my form now...ha...

“Why are you all in the port and suffocating?

"This...let me catch my breath...ha..haaa..."
He stood rooted to the spot and leaned on his knees.

“Are you okay? Can you talk now?
