Going to the Italian Restaurant

The next day, I asked Fran to report to Ferdinand while I spent my time leisurely in the temple. It was my usual routine, but my day was far from ordinary. I called Ella over after breakfast to give her the specially-made hairpin, saying it was a gift to celebrate her marriage, and she was so moved that she actually cried. Then, when I was practicing the harspiel with Rosina, Philine was watching me with such overwhelming awe that it was almost distracting. I started working on my dedication whirling shortly after, during which Hartmut asked why no blessings were being granted.

After third bell, I made my way to the High Priest’s room with my guard knights and apprentice scholars. Ferdinand delegated work to all of my retainers—except Angelica, who was guarding the door with her life, as per usual—and then called me over.

“Rozemyne. I received a report from Fran. Is it true that you plan to return to the castle to finish your clothing?”

“It is a summer outfit, after all. If we do not hurry, the season will have come and gone. Not to mention, I must discuss the dyeing competition with my mothers.”

“Hm. I suppose. Very well, then. I was also told that you are going to be visiting the Italian restaurant to speak with the lower city merchants. Know that I have decided to accompany you, both to forestall the danger inherent in leaving you without supervision and to observe the condition of the lower city since the entwickeln.”

“So you say, but you’re actually hoping to try the new menu, are you not?”

The only recipes of mine that Ferdinand knew were the ones he had purchased through Todd; there was no doubt in my mind that he was interested in more than just the state of the lower city. He responded only with a casually raised eyebrow, but his silence was more than enough to confirm my suspicions.

“My attendance is already set in stone, but say nothing of this to Sylvester. If even a word of our plans reaches his ears, he will tag along for certain, and that is a mess we do not want to endure.”

“Something tells me the merchants will be quite motivated if the archduke himself arrives to speak to them...”

“This trip is scheduled for before the spring coming-of-age ceremony, correct? At the moment, some strange fervor has possessed Sylvester to actually begin going through his immense backlog of work. It is best not to disturb him now.”

Ferdinand was evidently set on blocking Sylvester from joining us. I agreed with his assessment for the most part, since having the archduke with us would only make things more complicated than they needed to be.

“Furthermore, regarding the interior of the orphanage director’s chambers...” Ferdinand continued, presumably having been informed of my retainers’ criticisms of my cheap furniture through Fran. I was afraid that he was going to push me to waste money, but my expectations were soon betrayed in the best possible way.
