"This servant dares disrespect me. Now he's coveting my sweets. He's dirtied it. I want him to eat it!"
The servant's eyes widened.
That was ridiculous. What nonsense was she saying?
He looked at the Grand Duchess with hope in his heart, hoping that she wouldn't agree with her daughter. But that was just wishful thinking because he heard.
"Very well, then. You heard the third princess. Eat the sweets."
His expectant face turned ashen and his legs shook.
"W-what? Y-your highness..."
He swallowed his words when she glared at him, only to hear the Queen step in front of him and say.
"Eat it."
The servant trembled even more. "Y-your majesty."
He knew that begging like this would make them suspicious of him, but he couldn't help it. If he ate it, he would die. He didn't want to die.
The queen glanced at her right at the servants.
Two male servants stepped forward and held the servant on both sides, causing his eyes to widen with panic.
