She did her best to describe the taste. This was the best she could do. She had never savored the flavors of her food while she was eating.
At that time, the kitchen maids who had been silently holding their breath jumped as if they were revived.
“Young miss, do you want some desserts?”
“There is chocolate ice cream!”
“How about the chef’s special macarons?”
“How about cheesecake?”
“These are pears coated in honey.”
“And candies too…!”
Everyone exclaimed with lots of enthusiasm.
Aria took a card out of her bag and lifted it up.
Because she had used it often, the edges of the cards were worn out.
“How can I finally see that card…”
The kitchen maid, who had handed Aria the candy, trembled with an impressed expression, then struck the arm of the person next to her with her fists.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
The servant, who stood next to her, was dumbfounded and confused.
However, the rest of the servants nodded and patted her shoulder as if they understood the reason for the kitchen maid’s odd actions.

Spring was over, and summer had come.
After the first semester of the academy was over, Lloyd returned to the estate for his summer vacation.
“Are you coming back too?”
“Of course. It’s my long-awaited vacation.”
Lloyd’s carriage arrived at precisely the same time as his half-brother’s.
Vincent Valentine.
His soft smile was in contrast to Lloyd’s indifferent gaze.
“You’re still the same.”
“You haven’t changed either, brother.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“Hahaha.”
Vincent laughed and eagerly followed Lloyd from behind.
“The servants seemed to be preoccupied today.”
The two masters arrived at the same time, but everyone in the palace seemed busy over something.
“Looks like they’re constructing a new building.”
At that time, a figure presumed to be an architect stood nearby them. Lloyd raised his head towards him and made eye-contact.
Even though he didn’t say a word, the architect came to him in a flash.
“D-did you call for me? Your Highness.”
“Give it to me.”
“Huh? Ah, yes!”
He opened the paper and handed Lloyd the blueprints. It was a huge scale, even for those who were not familiar with architecture. He wondered if the grand duke was planning to build another palace.
“Are you building an amusement park?” Vincent asked, watching the architectural drawings closely.
He was a talented person who studied with the most prestigious professors at the academy. Thus he had in-depth knowledge in all fields.
“Amusement park?”
‘In the grand duchy?’ Lloyd thought.
It was absurd.
‘Why would anyone build an amusement park in a secluded place where no one can enter?’

“It’s like making a luxurious cruise ship in the mountains.” Vincent added.
Then, the architect spoke, “His Grace instructed us to build a playroom for the young miss.”
“Young miss?”
Lloyd halted the architect’s words and stared at him with his dark eyes.
