Chapter 49: A Tea Party

"My lady, more letters have come for you." Daisy looked at the box in her hands with worry.

She had already delivered thirty letters so far but the letters kept coming. From the duke's vassal families to the higher nobles, everyone has asked Mary to join them for tea, shopping or horse riding.

"Shall I write a refusal letter to all of them?" Mary, who was busy playing with strange boxes with Alec, did not look worried at all.

"Why would you do that?" That is all free meals with gifts. I will definitely go." She laughed as she won again. 

He pouted as he picked up the small box with pictures on it and rearranged it.

"I do not want to play anymore. I did not win at all." He sighed. In spite of doing that, he had already picked up the small ball and was getting ready to shoot the next shot.

Mary laughed at his actions.
