I'm not a kid in a candy store, I'm an empress at a sweet table

Sweets.

So many sweets.

The servants of the palace - specifically, the ones assigned to the empress - knew her tastes and her habits very well.

She wasn't sure when she became this predictable. She chose not to dwell on why she was, and instead assume her servants were just that clever and possibly even telepathic, just like her husbands.

Her eyes sparkled with glee as the sweets were laid down in front of her in a veritable feast of sugary, sweet, mouth-watering goodness. Some sweets she recognized, and some she did not.

It was all delicious, though.

She didn't need to start eating them yet to know this.

There was. A way that they simply looked and smelled that told her, an expert on sweets, that they were delicious without having to taste them yet.

That, and her cooks in Nevremia never really let her down, especially when it came to sweet things.

"Wow." She cooed.

Lyov chuckled.
