Chapter 99: "The Goddess was playing favorites"

…

Marvella had just opened the store with Kristov and the others, when the King's messenger arrived in a carriage. She was told to come to Leoniva Palace and to not ask anything, and it was a royal order. Confused, she brought with her a bottle of white wine. Whenever the King summons her, it's always about the wines, anyway.

Upon arrival at the palace, Marvella was brought to a private tea room near the dining hall. Like the other well-decorated rooms for assemblies and guests, the tea room had a magnificent chandelier right in front of the round table which was carefully-carved with intrinsic designs of mini lion heads at its side arcs.

But, why the tea room, instead of the usual garden or dining room? "I greet His Majesty," Marvella said, then gave a bright smile.
