Elodie changed into a new outfit.
She switched to a long, form-fitting robe that reached her fair heels, which looked far more comfortable than the puffy dress she wore earlier when she went for a walk with Anthony.
Aoto noticed her small and delicate feet, which were barely a palm's size, adorned in a pair of charming white velvet slippers. It was the first time he had seen such 19th-century European women's slippers, with a slightly high-heeled design, making a crisp "tap-tap" sound as she walked.
"Hello, Miss Angoulême," Aoto greeted Elodie simply and then looked around, "Miss Angoulême, what are you doing in the dining room? Where are Mr. Angoulême and Miss Leroy?"
"I'm reading," Elodie replied with a sweet smile, "The light is best here in the dining room, so I like to read here during the day."
"Grandfather is in his bedroom, handling some work-related matters."
"And Miss Leroy is cleaning the kitchen."
