Vanessa's tea party was held very lively, there were also noble mistresses present while carrying their children or prospective daughters-in-law. It was the same with Liliana because she brought Qinthia.
"Welcome to Marchioness Abraham." Vanessa Liliana's arrival with a warm hug. Seeing that Jovanka was not happy.
"I'd really like to meet you" Vanessa said, leaving Liliana confused.
Because Liliana rarely met Vanessa even they never spoke other than to say hello to formalities. But he did not know why Vanessa was so pleased with her arrival, Qinthia herself raised her shoulder as Liliana gestured.
"Good day Empress Vanessa, long time no see" said Jovanka, she tried to resuscitate Liliana if she and Vanessa were also very close.
"Duringly did not meet the duchess. Please sit anywhere," replied Vanessa coldly.
"Come on Qinthia, Marchioness Abraham. We sit together." Vanessa invited the two women to sit by her side.
"Since when has the empress been close to Liliana?" inner Jovanka.
"Alright since all the noble ladies are already present then let's start the tea party. I specially serve my son's herbal tea, you know his talent as a potion expert is perfect so please enjoy it to the fullest. He wants all the ladies to taste his tea" said Vanessa opening her tea party.
"This tea is delicious. It feels so refreshing, I feel like I'm coming back to life" praised the noble lady 1.
"I have to admit aunt. Kak Luca's tea is indeed the best, aunty is lucky to have him as a son," Quthia praised as well.
"You're this." Vanessa pinched Qinthia's gnarly cheek, "Then what about your marriage?"
"Haha. Your brother-in-law, don't tease him or he'll explode, Aaron wants to get married soon. But Qinthia still has not given an answer, I'm glad Aaron respects Qinthia and does not force my daughter to make a decision" Lydia replied.
"It's not like that. Aaron once urged an answer from Qinthia. But Qinthia is a strict woman, hence she insists on giving more time in their relationship. Aaron only obeyed Qinthia because he was most afraid of Qinthia" Liliana said.
"Gee. They are a compatible couple, marriage because love is always beautiful. We have to make their story an example."
"I agree. My son who plays women as a paediam then goes to the palace as a financial administration official, it's all thanks to young Master Aaron."
"But it is a pity that many young women are heartbroken, they become very sad when they see that young Master Aaron's fiancee is a very beautiful woman."
The noble mistresses began to praise Aaron and Qinthia's relationship, once Ernest's relationship with Elena had always been a hot topic in every tea party. But now that everything changes, Jovanka is not even considered in this tea party, even Vanessa is cold to him when they were both very close.
"You guys don't talk about marriage now" Jovanka's chimpanzee made things worse.
"Eh! do you still not know?" Jovanka pretended to be surprised, "I heard Miss Elena Abraham ran away from home, so how can marriage begin when there are missing family members."
"How's this? why did he know that when the news was deliberately kept secret? what do not-don't ..." Inner Liliana felt suspicious of Jovanka.
"Is that true?" vanessa asked Liliana. He himself did not believe the woman loved by Louis was not in the capital, he felt the reason Louis was getting mixed up was because he wanted to catch up with Elena who ran away.
As the situation instantly reversed now Liliana who was getting an unpleasant look, all the noble mistresses wanted to hear the truth of the news. Jovanka grinned at Liliana, Liliana became convinced that Jovanka had placed a spy in her residence.
"I don't think I need to keep it a secret anymore. Geez, this is a family problem that is not spread widely, out of nowhere Duchess Ransom heard about this or indeed there is an informant duchess in our residence," Liliana said. But ignored by Jovanka, the noble mistress did not care how the news spread because they wanted another explanation.
"Actually since the incident at the friendly banquet 4 years ago, my daughter has suffered mental health problems. He was devastated especially after that young master Ernest always looked for reasons to deny his actions, you must have heard about the threat. If anyone dares to marry or get engaged to Elena then it will deal with the Duke Ransom Residence," Liliana said to strike back at Jovanka.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you using old events as the reason for your daughter's bad attitude? my son didn't do what you said, even thinking of doing it he never did. Ernes was very loyal and the incident was just a misunderstanding, it was Elena excessive in responding to it," said Jovanka.
"No. I've heard the news of the threat" Vanessa said.
"Therefore, my daughter who had just returned from academics became frustrated again. He was sick because of the threat Ernest, because it was a pity with his condition we and family decided to ask him to adventure wherever he wanted to rearrange his heart and soul. At first he refused just because we were pressing, finally he agreed to leave. Before she returned we would prepare for her marriage abroad," explains Vanessa getting sympathy from all the noble mistresses, they began to show an aura of hostility with Jovanka.
"Why should I go abroad? the young lord of nobles in our empire is very much. Why go to a faraway place?" vanessa asked Liliana, she was going to start the main topic of this tea party.
"really so. We're family now so don't think about it anymore, we'll help find a suitable man for Elena. Better than the man before," Lydia glanced at Jovanka.
"My sister-in-law was right. If the noble lord was afraid of the threat that was either true or not that, it didn't mean Elena had to go abroad. He can still marry my son Louis Ashraf, he is a kind and very loving man. I'm sure she'll make Elena happy," Vanessa's suggestion made many noble mistresses smile happily, they agreed.
"what-what's this? how could Elena be above Ernest? this can't be. Whatever happens Elena can't be happy if not with my son," Jovanka's mind squeezed out her teacup.
"I'm going to talk about this with our extended family. Thank you empress for this engagement advice." Liliana happily wanted to accept it. But the decision has to be made by a lot of people, for Elena's sake.
Vanessa finally felt relieved that she still could not believe that making an engagement between them would be this easy, she indirectly thanked the threat that came out of Ernest's mouth. In this way he only needed to ask for the income of the emperor and Louis, Vanessa would also make this engagement a condition so that Louis did not give up his position.
