Chapter 86: Tea Banquet
"Good, like that," Marvin commented as he watched Ava drink her tea elegantly. Their learning sessions are sweet.
With the healing of the "Morning Tree of Life" a high-class and rare herb that can only be obtained as a gift from a level 100 gate, all the scars that had been on Ava's skin for years disappeared completely, instantly making the girl exactly like Eve with a white and smooth body like a royal princess.
Ava is also a quick learner, all the theories and knowledge that Marvin spills can he absorb like a sponge even though the girl does not stop surly in the process
"This way, you are ready to attend the Queen's tea with the other nobles" Marvin said, nodding in satisfaction. The Queen's tea banquet, for that their ethical syllabus is very dense. Rina's biggest capital was a face identical to her brother's, their temperament as well as disposition even resembled, so they only needed a little polish to conjure up the girl to become Eve Weinhamer.
"Ah," though Ava put on a smile, her eyes twinkled darkly, "There have been too many letters piled up on the table." Of course rumors of the return of Princess Edodale have been circulating since Ava's dinner with the king occurred, a political movement that was clearly carried out to maintain the status of the royal family, and that's why dozens of letters that contain asking for news and rows of excessive flattery come every day. It's time Ava jumped into the field to prove the truth of the rumor.
Immersed in her own thoughts, Ava realizes that Marvin is staring at her intensely. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Is there something on his face?
Marvin blinked, only to realize what he was doing, then he shook his head, "No," a few seconds of brief contemplation, the prince decided to be frank, there was no harm. "Although I never said it in person, I also often complained about social events such as tea parties or parties, you just reminded me of him."
"Oh," Ava shrugged, no objection. It means pretending to be Eve will get easier.
"So never said that he didn't need to socialize with the nobles because in the end everyone would embrace him."
Ava immediately grasped the meaning of the sentence. What Marvin said is also in line with King Dion's testimony at dinner.
Eve considered the throne of Edodale, the most advanced, great, and prosperous kingdom, too small a thing.
Not wrong anymore.
Eve has a severe God complex.
Gosh darn.
Ava rolled her eyes in her heart.

Fixing Eve's formal dress to fit her over the muscular body took up to a week, barely enough to attend a tea banquet held by Queen Isabel. But fortunately now Ava sits quietly in the middle of a glass garden filled with flowers, the first place she visited after waking up in the palace, the palace, in front of him were various snacks and desserts that varied from sweet to sour.
Queen Isabel was at the end of the table in a red dress whose skirt bloomed like a rose. Contrasting with what Ava wears, a soft yellow pastel dress that impresses the fragility of a girl, causes an effect that Ava did not expect.
"Geez, Princess, don't I imagine how much your heart aches."
The dress makes her worthy of pity.
