The faithful all know the Goddess's favorite treat is dessert; a shop that gains her support is guaranteed to have exceptional flavors!
This is the seal of authority!
Some people boldly greet and chat with Marvin, while others dare only to watch from afar, not daring to approach; the shop was abuzz with chatter, bustling with excitement. Orders flew in like snowflakes, and, right at that moment, the crowd queuing on the street suddenly fell silent. The patrons inside the shop heard the quiet from outside and stopped their commotion, turning to look.
A line of carriages stopped outside the shop. These were the Cabinet's carriages for receiving foreign dignitaries, with one in the middle dusted with gold, a high-spec vehicle reserved for the heads of other royal families.
As the carriage door opened, Katerina stepped out, and the quiet crowd exploded into a frenzy of discussion.
