Raisa, the housekeeper in charge of the female servants, stepped into my room. “My lady, may I speak with you regarding the banquet?” she asked.

“Of course. You may approach.”

At my answer, Raisa rested the large ledger she’d brought with her on the table across from me. She did not spare a look for Regina, who was lying at my feet, and swiftly put on her glasses. The silver-rimmed spectacles shone under the light.

Wow, someone’s ready to work.

Sure enough, Raisa meant business. She started going over the guest list, bringing up the most notable expected attendees, the amount and types of food and drinks, the grade of the tableware as well as the order in which each set was to be brought out—she was especially particular about the silverware and the amount of time and number of employees required to polish it in advance—the style of hospitality, and the program for the evening. Then, we discussed which rooms to use for the party and what security to put in place to make sure guests wouldn’t cross these boundaries, the estimated number of carriages and where to have them park, where the guests’ servants would wait, what job to give to each of our own servants, as well as the number of temporary workers to hire. Finally, Raisa broke down the expenses and concluded it was an appropriate amount.

Now, that was a marathon. I’m getting runner’s high! All right, I’m all ready for another lap, come at me!

Considering her personality, I expected Raisa would have suffered an untimely death from overwork just like me had she lived in twenty-first-century Japan.

“Wait. Will the guests’ servants be waiting for that long without food or drinks? This is due to a rule from eight years ago, it says here?” I asked, reading through the documents.

“Indeed, my lady. When Duke Aleksandr took over, it was decided that no money should be wasted on servants.”

I’m guessing this is one of the many budgets that was embezzled, huh? I hadn’t checked, but I could easily imagine it would claim money was spent on that if I checked the ledgers.

“I’d like to rescind that decision,” I said. “If it can still be done with such short notice, I want food and drink to be given to servants from the upcoming banquet onward, just like in grandfather’s days.”

“I’ll make arrangements, my lady.” I saw the corners of Raisa’s lips lift as she readily agreed.

“You wanted me to point this out, did you not? That’s why you wrote about the change happening eight years ago,” I said, smiling.

Mina handed me a cup of tea. “My lady, please take a break. You’ve been at it for so long you’ll tire yourself out.”

“Thank you, Mina.” It was only after taking a sip that I realized how dry my throat felt. I gratefully drank the tea that’d been allowed to cool to room temperature that Mina had served me.

“Please enjoy,” Mina said, offering one to Raisa as well.

“Thank you.” Raisa accepted it, but I could tell Mina’s blank face had thrown her off somewhat.
