Bab 44: Chapter 44 : Need of the truth.

There were only small things left to do but they wanted everything to be perfect. Their guests of honour were divine, they had to organize the most sumptuous and the most unforgettable of balls.

Louis's selection criteria? The pastries that reminded him of Foud.

"These are fine, stay on the mousse. Not choux pastry," he gave his final decision while looking at the eight pastry chefs in front of him.

"Sure of your choice my brother? You can't change your mind at the last moment," his twin asked, surprised at the choice as his little brother loved choux pastry.

"Certain."

"No choux pasta?"

"No choux pastry."
