It seems like I wasn't hearing things because everyone turned to look at the Prince.
He also realised that he had said that out loud and covered his mouth in surprise.
"Ah! Umm… What I meant was… The sweets are really beautiful, Mother!" He choked out quickly.
The Queen giggled, "Fufu~ I think this is the first time you even paid any attention to sweets, Hisami~"
The prince turned to the Queen and pouted at her, "Mother… Please…"
"Fufu~ I am just teasing~ What do you think about the sweets, Lady Aster?"
"Hmm? Oh! They are really delicious! Thank you for letting me taste them! And as the prince had said, they are really beautifully made too!"
"Fufu~ I'm glad you think so, Lady Aster."
"Oh! And the tea as well! It's really, really good! It goes perfectly well with the sweets!"
"Fufufu~ If you really like it, I can teach your maid how to brew this~ Would you like that?"
"Eh?! Would that be alright? I thought this might be your secret recipe or something!"
