章 186: Preparations to welcome a Queen

I brought the gowns from Polis to a tailor and ordered a few new dresses. I reminded them a few times that everything had to be ready in a couple of days.

Then, I talked with the maids to prepare a room. I sent Pericle to the kitchens to make sure they cooked chicken for Thea the evening when she was supposed to be presented at court.

Also, I bought a set of bath salts for her. She liked bathing, so it could have been a good idea to make her relax before the official debut.

I inquired with Bertha about what women need to survive a couple of days, and she delivered me a never-ending list.

Somehow, I managed to retrieve all of that. I didn't even know what the use of most of those objects or creams was, but it didn't matter. If my wife could have needed it, it had to be there at her disposal.

I visited Thea's future bedroom to check that there was all she could need. I instructed the servants to bring wood logs in case Thea felt cold.
