I knocked on the door and Alexei’s attendant, Ivan, opened it.

He stared at me for a second before exclaiming, “Why are you carrying such a large basket, my lady?!” He immediately snatched it from my hands.

Ivan was quite different from Mina, in that he always had a friendly smile plastered on his face, but he was just as attentive as her. He had light brown hair, warm amber eyes, and was roughly as tall as my brother. Overall, a pretty good-looking man, if I did say so myself.

“Thank you,” I said. “Could you please brew some tea for everyone?”

Ivan nodded. “It smells good. Where did you get this, my lady?”

“Oh, I made it,” I answered, wearing a satisfied grin despite myself. Ivan was clearly astonished.

You’re making quite a face, I thought.

“Your Grace. Her ladyship is here,” he said after recovering his composure.

Alexei raised his head. “Ekaterina? What is it?”

“I brought you lunch, brother.”

“Her ladyship made it herself,” Ivan added, lifting up the basket to show Alexei.

His eyes opened wide, and he wasn’t the only one surprised. Each of his subordinates lifted their eyes from their papers at once and stared at me in disbelief.

Hey, are you really that surprised?! Well. Their pausing in their work worked out in my favor.

“Everyone, would you care to take a short break to fill your stomachs?” I asked. “This isn’t much, but I cooked for all of you.”

“You...cooked?” Alexei repeated. “But, how could you?”

“I borrowed the cafeteria’s kitchen,” I said. “I did have help, so there’s no need to worry about the taste.”

While we were talking, Ivan, always the perfect attendant, had set plates on the table and taken the crepes (though I was still questioning if they were actually crepes) out of the basket.

Oh! I suddenly remembered something and grabbed a little bundle I had neatly packed.

“This is your share,” I told Ivan, offering it to him. “I wrapped them so they wouldn’t get cold. You can enjoy them when you’re done with your work!”

“You prepared some for me too?” Ivan looked equal parts surprised and delighted. He then put them aside to serve everyone tea. Alexei’s subordinates sat at their desks, and I borrowed an empty one to join them. My heart pounded as I awaited their reaction.

“It’s delicious,” Alexei whispered after the first bite.

YEEES!!! He praised me! The words came out right away, so I know he means it for real!

“These look like the snacks commoners sell in the streets. I often ate them during my student days. Ah, it sure takes me back! I must say they’re very good. Sausage and mustard are a match made in heaven,” the youngest of my brother’s advisors, Aaron Kyle, mumbles as he munched on his first crepe. His glasses lent him a scholarly countenance. He was the person in charge of the duchy’s mines.

“In the capital, every family has its go-to. My family preferred onions and bacon as a filling, but potatoes and bacon are excellent too,” Viscount Boris Novak said, his voice as austere and elegant as usual.
