Bab 197: The Great King Courting II

Aster had a nice dinner with Mariette and Tuskan. They talked about many things, but mostly about stress-free topics like hobbies or such. None of them were comfortable enough to talk about the politics of Golden Camellia and Great Arctyr.

"You should try the mango dessert, this is the recipe of my late mother, she often made one herself when I was a child," Aster mentioned. Mariette and Tuskan looked at the ice cream and pudding dessert with diced mango, the ice cream was also made with mango and there was cream cheese to thicken the composition. It was sour heaven indeed. But they were silenced for a while.

"What's the matter?" Aster asked. Mariette and Tuskan were talkative during the whole dinner and now they were suddenly silent? Aster pondered and then continued, "If the mango dessert is not within your liking, then I can order another dessert from the chef."
