Josephine ate a reasonable meal, not overeating or taking more than she needed. There were many peasants that could not fit into the dining hall, and would be allowed in once some others had finished. There was some food saved for them, but she would rather them have more than what is saved, as most did not eat as well as they should. Tonight was their treat as well as hers and Raoul's. Once most of them had finished their dinner, desserts were brought out. A wide array of cakes and puddings and cookies, all snatched up by the impatient citizens. Not that it mattered to the royal family, as they could easily have more baked for them later if they wished. After finishing her own food and taking a couple cookies, Josephine was finished. "I shall await you in my room, my dear." She whispered quietly in Raoul's ear. "Do not rush, I shall be as patient as I can." With that, she got to her feet and headed off to her bedchamber, her heart fluttering. The time was drawing near, but she was not having second thoughts. This is one thing she would not regret.<br/><br/>Alyxander ate his share, along with the Williams, towards the end of the table.
