Chapter 224: Red Queen

The tarts were a hit!

Sure, it took what seemed like half an hour for each individual tart to be magically tested for poison, but as soon as that was done and they began to be distributed to the high table, the way peoples' eyes lit up at the combination of strong coffee and mild white chocolate flavor validated Kir's work in making them.

Unfortunately, the tarts never left the high table. Mostly because Lumin wound up regifting the second box to the Queen.

But at least Kordia's ears and tails twitched and swished with delight as she tried the tarts.

Kir was still admiring them when a pair of shadows covered his part of the table.

"The Queen will speak with you," one guard, a monkey-like beastkin said.

"Right. One moment," Kir stood and stepped out from the table. The guards had him walk in front of them as he approached the high table.
