Before attending this banquet, Irene had ordered a maid to divulge important information she would need to know about the host of the event ā lest she embarrass herself.

Duchess Jasmine seemed to be pleased with Ireneās decision, and contentedly hummed, leading Irene, who was following her footsteps to the table.
