"Ladies and gentlemen, today's luncheon will be a bit different. I hope none of you will mind," Alexander first addressed the guests at the table.
"*Clap*, *clap*, *clap*, oohhh, I love it when Your Grace invents new food items." And was quickly greeted with an enthusiastic cheer from Mikaya, who then very naturally added, "Will they be as amazing as this clear glass?"
The cheerful, vivacious way she managed to weave in a question everyone was dying to ask was proof of her cunningness as she was basically asking, 'Where did you get this new glass from?'
Alexander ignored this part of the question, and instead answered the first, "The new dishes are all the products of my kitchen. And I will let our guests be the judge of their worth."
As Alexander said this, the waiters finished pouring the wine into all the goblets and started to bring out the first course- Fresh Pea soup.
