Until Manila's day, it passed quickly.
I was pretty busy, too, but Kate and her cook must have been a murderous busy man.
"But thanks to that, we managed to make it."
Lucian took his hand and stepped down from the carriage towards Kate's separation.
I was invited to Kate's meeting today.
I wanted to see if Manila Day would work out...
Oh, it's not Lady Leticia.
There was a moody voice coming from behind.
Beautifully dressed, but not hidden by nature, Siena.
Kate's half-sister was also a guest.
"I'm surprised. I thought Leticia was brilliant."
"Thank you for your compliments."
"... what are you thinking?
Siena standing beside me whispers and asks.
"I know that Leticia has been interacting with her half-sister for the moment. You're planning something, but I don't think it's worth it. On Manila Day, I am used to eating salty dishes, a specialty of my territory. It is impossible to approach the realm of cooks in my territory when a stranger, Leticia, has wisely introduced new salt dishes."
"Don't you think there's something that comes to mind because you're a stranger?
"Isn't it just a baked blade?
"Come on? We'll see what happens soon."
Reach the cafeteria.
When the door opens, it's there...
"Good evening, Leticia. Welcome back today."
"Good evening. It's been a long time since I've seen you outside each other's apartments."
"Oh, you look lovely today. I wonder if you two kittens are getting along?
Kate, Natalie, and Lee Riena were greeted in turn.
"Eh...? Why are there other potential concubines here...?
Siena has solidified.
"Oh, Siena, welcome. Thank you for coming today."
"'Onee-sama, what's going on?!? I didn't hear about inviting other queen candidates on Manila Day!!"
"Is there a problem? Manila Day is a day to invite and entertain your loved ones. Natalie and Lee Riena are the same Duchess ladies as me, and they are all responsible for the future of this country, aren't they?
Kate speaks loudly.
The meeting was on schedule.
Manila Day is not an example of an event that entertains guests with this hand, and the face of the inviting guest is directly linked to the character of the inviter.
Therefore, Kate's personality, who was able to invite me and Natalie, should have risen by itself.
Even for me, it will only take the form of accepting Kate's invitation, so it will not be regarded as Kate's faction externally.
Natalie also has the advantage of accepting Kate's invitation.
For Natalie, who has almost no eyes to become the next queen, it is great to be able to deepen her relationship with Kate, who is currently the most powerful candidate.
There was a ditch between human and veterinarian, but today, the two interests coincided and we came closer.
When I held this story with Natalie, Natalie nodded for a moment.
Siena and her supporters, the Beast, are more distant from humans than Kate.
It must have been because I wanted to reduce the likelihood that such a Siena would become the next queen.
After obtaining Natalie's consent, Kate and I sent an invitation to Lee Riena.
I can't read the inside of Lee Riena's belly, but I don't think she wants to make a wave out of herself.
I also told her that Natalie and I had decided to attend, and I was able to get a reply from her to see how we were doing.
And less conspicuous, but the other.
There is also the appearance of the dark-haired Philia, the queen candidate who lives in the southern detached palace.
She basically accepted the invitation because she didn't refuse to come and didn't chase those who left.
Now Kate has invited three queen candidates.
As a Manila Day guest, you look great.
I wanted to erase the last mess and help Siena's thoughts.
When I greeted Philia for the first time, the door of the cafeteria opened.
Kate and Siena get nervous.
Two fathers, the Duke in charge of their fate, Gallon.
A middle-aged man, like a bobcat, no, a giant bobcat.
I felt that the color of my hair was similar to that of Siena, and the eyes of my fishing mood were similar to that of Kate.
After welcoming Mr. Gallon and then a few invitees, the meal will finally begin.
The food is finally brought before us in our seats.
Natalie and the other three joined the guests, and although the kitchen was busier, I heard that the capacity was sufficient, so it should have been fine.
The first salad arranged was a salad of leafy vegetables coated with large grains of salt.
It's simple, but it's just the right dish to rest.
And beside it is placed a round bread covered with salt on a plump baked surface.
Salt is also kneaded into the dough, adding salt to the sweetness of the butter, but this is a dish that Kate-sama's hometown often eats, just like salad.
Today's destiny, my proposed new dish is one of the last.
Seeing it brought in, someone groaned.
"A big chunk of salt...?
