But Alwin might get angry and not help her anymore so she had to consider his worries as well. After all, she had contributed greatly to his fears from their past life.

{Alwin? Can you please inform the Head Chef? Oh, and why won't you have lunch with me? You haven't had lunch yet, right?}
Her maids had already had lunch while waiting for the Court Session to be over. Likewise, they have never accepted her invitation to join her for a meal yet.
They had to follow protocols and were afraid to break them since it might seem like disrespect. Thus, Arabella had stopped asking them
{I can do the former. But why should I eat with you?} Alwin replied.
{Because you haven't had lunch yet. I will feel bad eating here inside while you eat there. It's getting colder these days. My maids are already used to you so it should be fine.}
