The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

So this is what it feels like, Sigrid thought. Many times she had wondered if the king was not embarrassed when the ideas of others were attributed to him. Apparently, it was not so embarrassing if you did not pay heed to it.

"What type of ball is this?" The queen questioned.

Balls were very formal events, different from banquets, get togethers and parties like the ones Mauve threw with her lunches.

"It is a charity ball, all the funds raised will be used to purchase grain and other supplies for the less fortunate people in the North." Sigrid replied.
