For a moment, silence hung in the room.
I looked up in surprise, staring at the envelope in front of me.
"The Imperial Hunt?" I asked, as if checking that I had heard correctly.
The butler nodded slightly.
"Yes, that's right, ma'am."
For a while, I just sat there, unable to take my eyes off the snow-white envelope with the red wax seal.
Frowning, I remained confused for a while before opening the letter and reading it. Finally, having made up my mind, I carefully broke the seal.
"To Her Highness, Lady Weinstein,
By order of His Imperial Majesty, you are invited to participate in the autumn imperial hunt, which will take place in the royal reserve for three days, beginning on the twenty-fourth of this month.
The presence of a representative of the Weinstein family would be an honor for the Empire."
After rereading the contents of the letter several more times, I frowned again.
