Cassandra looked at Princess Teimei and smiled.

Princess Cassandra knew that she would not be able to give any response and it wasn't the right time to show any reaction.

Princess Cassandra smiled and drank the tea without giving any response. 

"What took you so long?" The Empress asked as she looked at all the Princesses sitting there. The Vivere Kingdom's Princess was the first to arrive. She was looking at the garden and touching flowers from time to time.

All the Princesses looked down, not angering the Empress. But seeing this situation where the Princesses were not replying in front of Princess Teimei.

"Have you all lost your tongue?" The Empress said in a low tone. She did not want to show any weakness in front of someone from the Vivere Kingdom. But now it looked like a long-fetched thing.

[Why are they not replying?]

[Do they not want their tongue anymore?]

[Should I kill them all?]
