There wasn't much time left till supper and so Laura changed into a more presentable dress as the white dress she wore at the moment resembled 0more of a nightgown than a casual dress. After she finished changing into a proper dress, Mary escorted her to the dining room, even if she didn't have to do so.
"Laura! You're here! How are you feeling?," the Duchess asked as she stood up and brought Laura to her seat. While giggling, Laura answered, "Because of your hospitality, I'm feeling good as new." Laura then took her seat and her eyes wandered to the table in front of her and realized that instead of three, there were two plates only.
"If you're asking where Erwin is he's just busy right now," The Duchess said as she took her seat after. She then nodded her head at a footman to start serving the food. The footman nodded his head in return and left the dining room.
