“Your Highness…” The servant’s expression underwent an abrupt change.

“Your Highness, calm down. His Majesty’s given orders that no one could—”

“Why, are my words useless to you now?” Victoria scowled. “Do as I say!”

Left with no option, the servant could only go toward the palace on the west.

Victoria stood on the balcony, looking at the merry wedding farther away coldly. A vicious smirk tugged the corner of her lips.

After Aurelia thanked the two embroidery artists, she left the dressing room.

Her clothes were fixed. The new tassels were made with excellent materials in the palace, and the two embroidery artists who had helped her were skilled and worked swiftly.

Aurelia wore a smile as she took the same way to go back, humming a song.

When she passed by the banquet hall, she saw that there were not many people inside. Most of the guests were in the garden. Although there was food in the banquet hall, the rich and noble who wanted to curry favor were not there since the groom and bride were not in there either.

Aurelia looked at the array of dishes spread across tables, and her stomach rumbled. Her hand automatically flew to her stomach as she checked left and right, smiling shyly when she made sure that no one noticed her embarrassing state.

Since no one was exactly around, she might as well head in for some food! It would be a disservice to these well-made dishes otherwise!

With the thought in mind, she walked in and feasted. Not too long into her meal, she heard a baby’s cries.

The nanny came over carrying little Zuko, and a few servants followed behind. The sun was too bright in the garden, while the banquet hall was airy and cooling, a good place for some rest.

Zuko probably did not have a good sleep and fussed after waking up, so he cried just after some milk.

Aurelia went over to play with him, removing the tassels on her clothes to let him play with them.

The baby was quiet for a while, beady eyes staring at her, before suddenly flailing his chubby hands for her to carry him.
