A cool breeze, fragrance of flowers, chirping of birds and two friends reuniting after a long time .It was a beautiful scene .

  Three of them sat at the round table .

  Maids arranged the snacks and plates .

  Andrea ,helped Hannah (Duchess) in making the tea.

  Andrea had prepared for her first tea time since early in the morning .

  Washing her hair with rose oil.

  Using the limited perfume made with Jasmine flowers .

  Dressing up in a sky blue dress that had flowers embroidery on it and sleeves made with soft net .

  Small cute earrings and a blue diamond necklace carved into a butterfly were worn by a little child who was three years old .

  Little Andrea prepared herself for more than four hours for entertaining her first guest.

  For Andrea, a noble should always be elegant and graceful . She wished to keep the dignity of house Kovinsons by presenting herself in the most graceful way possible .

  Andrea's personal maid , Anny was someone who took care of Andrea since she was a baby . When Andrea was one , Anny was 13. Though Anny was a little girl too , she loved and cared for Andrea just like the Duchess.

  Anny loved to dress up Andrea.

  Anny knew every single liking of Andrea . Anny was a commoner girl , who was taken in by the duchess.

  Anny who used to sell flowers on the street was taken in by the Duchess who went out in disguise , and was given an important duty of taking after the precious young miss of Kovinsons Dukedome.

  Anny considered Andrea as her treasure. Andrea always kept all the maids at a distance. She never allowed the maids to make personal decisions or get close to her.

  Andrea was not a normal three-year-old , she conducted herself as a noble who already reached their coming of age (17).

  But for Anny , Andrea was her cute, loving treasure.

  Back to green house -

  Seeing a three-year-old, all dressed up for the party , Eveline felt so touched.

  She spoke to Andrea in a sweet voice and eyes brimming with love " Miss Andrea ,did you prepare yourself to welcome me ?"

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  Andrea said, "Yes , Madame Matthias . I am grateful for your visit . Mother used to tell me about you."

  "Ohh really , Hannah used to speak about me ! What did she tell , I am so curious to know?" Eveline asked with a playful smile .

  "My mother ushed to tell me how she and Mrs. Matthias ushed to be good friends during academy days . How you both ushed to shale youl books and visit each other's home duling vacations."

  Andrea spoke in a very calm and gentle voice but her pronunciation was like a baby and made her words cuter than elegant .

  Though she was different from other three-year-old kids in manners, she was similar to them in her pronunciation.

  The duchess laughed, "haahaa, I see little Andrea . You are so cute . (Looking at Hannah) Hannah , you are so lucky to have such a cute child."

  Hannah smiled gently

  "You are lucky to Eva , how is your baby doing?"

  Eveline whose eyes were filled with love and care-

  "My child is now two , he is cute and chubby . But.... he is too energetic for a two-year-old. The maids have a difficult time running with him from garden to garden .

  Hannah smiled softly - " He must be just like you . Don't you remember how energetic were you during our academic years ?"

  Eveline - " Energetic? Me ? I was such a sweet child . You must be remembering it wrong ."

  Hannah -"Yes , yes. Such a sweet child who only swung her sword from morning to night at the training ground."

  The maids served the tea and cakes .

  Eveline sipped onto the tea .It was sweet and refreshing.

  Eveline spoke, "This tea is so refreshing , who prepared this ?"

  Hannah lovingly looked towards Andrea and spoke, "My baby, prepared this tea herself .

  She took hours to pick the perfect leaf from our house and made this tea herself."

  Eveline was surprised "Andrea is three, right?"

  Hannah smiled and nodded

  Eveline -" How ... How can a three-year-old child know which leaf to pick and to make such a delicious tea?"

  Hannah proudly said, "My child knows many things , her peers can't even imagine about ."

  Eveline agreed to Hannah .

  Andrea felt embarrassed, hearing praises from a person like the archduchess (Eveline) her face flushed red .

  She looked like a cute little tomato who was wearing a blue dress and sitting well mannered.

  Seeing Andrea all red and blushing Eveline couldn't control her laughter "pfttt , I am loving tomato these days . Only if my son was also a tomato instead of a jumping squirrel. " Eveline sighed .

  Hannah smiled, "Your son is a jumping squirrel? I would love to meet him . When my sons were Andrea's age, my second son was a jumping squirrel too. Well ,my first-born was very calm since he was born ."

  Eveline - "Ohh , how is your two sons doing? I did not see them."

  Hannah - " My elder , Johnathan went for his swordsmanship training . My second, Andrew loves watching his brother training .Though he is too young to train with real swords, he carries a wooden sword and imitate his brother ."

  "That's so cute . I will bring my son one day .

  I want Andrea to teach my son some good manners. (Turning towards Andrea ) Will you do that Andrea?"

  Andrea stood up from her seat and bowed in courtesy "Yesh Mrs. Matthias, I will do my besht and be good fliends with Young Mashtel Matthias. I am not qualified enough to be his instructol. "

  "Ohh little one , don't call me Mrs. Matthias. You can call me Aunt Eva . My son would be happy to make you his first friend, " Eveline said with a loving smile .

  " Please do bring your son one day . I am sure all my children will love him .

  But ,Eva, you never told me his name . Even in your letters ." Hannah asked in a low voice.

  "Ohhh, I wanted to surprise you with his name . When we meet face to face.

  His name is 'Rakhil, Rakhil Matthias ' .He is two this year and has silver hair and red eye
