Chapter 221. Grand Duke Kapmen Hates The Queen (2)

There was one person who observed all of this from hidden behind a pillar. That person was one of Christa’s ladies-in-waiting. She watched the situation carefully, and when she saw the strange atmosphere between Grand Duke Kapmen and Queen Navier, she excitedly returned to inform Christa.
"My Queen, I have discovered something really good."
"Something really good?"
"Do you know Grand Duke Kapmen?"
"Grand Duke Kapmen of Rwibt…"
"Yes, he must have come for the wedding."
Christa nodded.
What good was it that he had come? The visit of a foreign guest was always welcome, but in this case, the purpose of it had nothing to do with her.
The lady-in-waiting smiled and whispered, "But when I saw Grand Duke Kapmen with Queen Navier, I had the impression that he harbored a strong hatred for her."
"Grand Duke Kapmen?"
Christa thought about it for a moment and asked quizzically, "Hadn’t he stayed in the Eastern Empire for a while?"
"Something must have happened then."
"Do you think so…?"
"It was obvious he hated her. When Queen Navier greeted him, the Grand Duke ignored her. Rose and Mastas were grumbling angrily."
The lady-in-waiting burst out in gleeful laughter and suggested with a bright face, "My Queen, take advantage of this opportunity. Get Grand Duke Kapmen on our side!"
"Grand Duke Kapmen…"
"Yes. Doesn’t Queen Navier want to use Sir Koshar to gain popularity among the young ladies? That said, Grand Duke Kapmen is also a handsome man who would not lose to Sir Koshar. If you use the Grand Duke, you could keep the young ladies on your side."

‘How can I change their minds?’
After much thought, Rashta first sent invitations to all the nobles living in the capital.
"Unless it is for a special circumstance, no one can refuse the Empress’s invitation."
And just as Viscountess Verdi said, all the nobles gathered in the garden, but they seemed puzzled by the sudden invitation.
A large table was set in the garden and covered with extravagant dishes. The food was extremely eye-catching, and the taste was up to par.
The emperor’s chef complied exactly with Rashta’s order. Even the nobles, who were puzzled by the invitation, were surprised to see the sweet castle on the table.
A river of ice cream flowed around the sweet castle, and jams made from all kinds of fruits were in cookie carriages.
"How wonderful!"
As the nobles admired the prepared food, Rashta smiled elegantly and said, "I prepared it especially for all of you."
The nobles were even more surprised to see Rashta than the sweet village of treats presented on the table. Her manner of speaking was similar to that of Empress Navier. Rashta normally spoke in a high and lovely tone, but now, even her tone of voice was lower than usual.
Some with a keen eye also noticed that Rashta’s elegant red dress was similar to the clothes worn daily by Empress Navier. It was not exactly the same design, but it was definitely close.
The nobles exchanged glances silently.
"Everyone, please take your seats."
