Jump into the fire!

Evan looked at the maids and then at her. She did not mind serving food, forget about serving, she did not even mind cooking food for the family. That's what she had done all her life. But could her goal be this simple? The way Evan had talked to the lady, she was sure that the lady wanted to teach her a lesson? Could it be that there was a special way to serve food among royals, and she was going to insult Evan for not following the way!? 

Eli looked at aunt Gabriella too with a questioning gaze. 

"Aunt, Evangeline is a guest, she did not need to.." 

Aunt Gabriella turned and looked at Eli with a piercing gaze that she turned still. It took a second for Eli to compose herself but before she could say further, aunt had already curled her lips into a mocking smile.
