Of course, the Tea Party hosted by Charlotte Linlin, the queen of Totto Land, would not be shabby.
Preparations for the venue had begun the night before. It was located on the broad platform atop the royal palace, but after an expansion, a certain man had used biscuits to enlarge the platform several times over. From afar, it looked as though the cake-like castle had been crowned.
By around eleven o'clock, the guests were almost due to enter. Rather than taking the stairs inside the castle, they could use a candy elevator outside the palace gates, which stretched all the way up to the banquet venue on the top floor.

Tesoro was deeply moved.
