章 164: Father and son

After placing the plate on the table, Astro took a step back. The duke still had his eyes closed and he only heard the clinking of the plate being placed on the glass table then he heard the man's voice.

"The young master might take a little bit longer before he can come so he instructed me to give you these cookies from Vergessen as you wait for him. He was worried that you might not want the snacks offered in the tower." Astro said these things with a straight face even though Celes was there.

Ulysses opened his eyes and looked at the plate of cookies that was placed on the tables. He slowly relaxed as he picked up one of the cookies and started to nibble on it. He then looked at Celes and narrowed his eyes.

"Where's the tea?" He briefly asked before returning his focus on the cookies.
