Bab 87: Chapter 57 "The Enigmatic" Moriarty

Mr. Aiwass and Miss Lily arrived at the Hall of Silver and Tin at half-past five in the afternoon, and it wasn't even fully dark.

As a result, they hadn't finished eating until quarter to nine in the evening.

There was no ball, nor were there other people. It was simply Mr. Aiwass, Princess Isabel, and Master Yanis chatting non-stop.

The first round of food had gone cold before they were finished, so a second round was served.

It included roasted apples, sponge cake, and pan-seared foie gras with scallops...

In the middle of it all, Princess Isabel realized that Lily, the maid standing behind Mr. Aiwass, seemed a bit hungry, and she warmly invited her to sit down and eat together. She had drunk three glasses of wine by that point, her cheeks were slightly flushed, yet her eyes shone even brighter.
