Chapter 20

On one of the nights, we found ourselves in a random garden. The moon reflected beautifully on the riverbank beside us. We remained lying on the white carpet, quietly contemplating. After a few minutes, we began tidying up the place. Tait placed the tea, while I opened several boxes filled with games to pass the time, as usual. As for Laverna, she remained like a spoiled princess, no matter what happened.

Perhaps humanity had moved her, so Laverna decided to attack me and blame me for her guilty conscience. "I don't understand, Yuana," she said. "Why a princess like you, or should I correct it, you were treated as the next crown, shared meals and drinks with your maid, and even helped her?" Tait glanced at Laverna irritably, then turned to me with a similar expression on her face and asked, "I don't understand, Yuana. Why the favored concubine of Prince Achil, who loves her, would be friends with the concubine of Prince Aron - sarcastically - but let me correct it, a concubine he only saw for one night." Then she looked proudly at Laverna, and then at me. But my facial expressions were a little shocked, and I whispered to her, "Isn't it the other way around?"

Tait looked proudly at us, then clasped her hands and corrected herself with a touch of confession. "It's true that Prince Aron wields more influence than our dear Prince Achil," she said, then looked at Laverna before delivering her next words with pride. "But you don't know what the caste system is, do you? You don't place the favored concubine of Achil in the same category as a concubine of a prince who doesn't know her name, even if she is one of Aron's harems." Tait's use of the term "caste system" destroyed Laverna, who was repeating it every time she talked about the harems and their "caste system" that she always detested.

Silence fell among us, but it seemed that the spark between the two of them was visible. At the same time, two people appeared on the path next to the garden, standing in silence, waiting for the end of this strange argument.

As for me, I continued arranging the dishes until this rat and his cat resolved their issues. After a few minutes of glances and silence, Laverna sighed and apologized. "Well, I admit... I made a mistake by separating you from us as a servant." Tait smiled proudly and said, "It's okay; people learn." Tait's acceptance was quick, as was Laverna's quick apology. She was shocked by Laverna, who never apologized. But the caste system was stronger than Laverna.

Finally, after their argument ended, we played a card game that relied on both strategy and luck, which put me in a winning position more than I was left with in the other games. After several repeated rounds, I won...

Tait became frustrated and went to the nearby river, yelling audibly, "I wish I could curse my lady Yuana intensely, just for tonight, my God!" Laverna shouted back at her, "We hear you, you fool!" and Tait approached, pretending not to hear anything.
