    Armed with a name, Rozemyne headed to the library, much to the dismay of her head maid. Rihyarda could have handled it, but Lieseleta lacked the experience and gravitas to control her mistress when she was fired up.

    "Lady Carnelia!" Rozemyne shouted, bursting into the reading room the girl was using.

    Lieseleta said, just loud enough for the Aub to hear, “At least give her a proper greeting.”

    “Of course,” Rozemyne replied.

    “May I pray for a blessing in appreciation of this serendipitous meeting, ordained by the harsh judgment of Ewigeliebe, Lady Carnelia?” Rozemyne rushed through her greeting.

    “You may.” The lady in question spoke barely loud enough to be heard, trembling like a winter leaf, which wasn’t surprising, given that the Aub had addressed her so suddenly.

    “I need something red, romantic, and heart-shaped,” Rozemyne said.

    “You might want to explain a bit,” Lieseleta said. She was overstepping herself, but the poor woman Rozemyne was addressing looked on the verge of fainting in fright.

    “Sorry, I want something to use with cookies for Star-Cross Day. Something other than those dreadful bugs! I don’t see how anyone could think coach beetles were romantic.”

    Lady Carnelia stared, and then, as the word "romantic" sank in, she began thinking. Her brows furrowed, and then a smile touched her lips. “There's the 'desert heart.' They have red, heart-shaped leaves and a mild, pleasant flavor. Perhaps you’ve had tea made from them.”

    Rozemyne’s eyes grew wide. “Oh, that lovely mint tea. I think we export it. That would be wonderful.”

    Lieseleta was used to her mistress’s use of strange words, but Lady Carnelia looked puzzled at the word “mint.”

    Blissfully unaware, the Aub said, “Mild, red, mint cookies with a heart-shaped leaf in their center. Perfect!”

    Carried away, she rushed off to see the chef, leaving poor Lady Carnelia to recover in the now silent library.

    “Cookies!” she exclaimed.

    Indeed, cookies would be ideal for Star-Cross Day, Rozemyne reasoned. They were easy, and the recipe was widespread by now. It had to be different, though, and have the romance of Valentine’s Day.

    Red heart-shaped sugar cookies came to mind, but her cookie recipes were widespread, and anyone could make heart-shaped ones. It had to be something special. Something that only bakers who bought the recipe from her could produce. Profits were important; there were so many books to buy.

    Different. Romantic. Hard to duplicate.

    “Hmm…”

    Nothing came to mind.

    “Help!” she muttered. “Who can I ask?”

    She thought about the people she was close to, most of whom were in Ehrenfest or Dunkelfelger. Not only couldn’t she talk to them, but it would be unfair to ask them to work for the benefit of her duchy. As for her councilors, they were old folks without a romantic bone in their bodies. It would be better to consult an iron #rod than them. As for Ferdinand, she wanted to surprise him.

    Wait, she knew! There was a woman who came to the library every day to read romances. What was her name?

    “Carnelia!”

    “Milburn, what are those?” she asked the chef.

    “Those would be pickles, Your Grace. They’re for Star-Cross Day.”

    He took down a jar without further instruction, something he would never have done for another noble, let alone the Aub. But Rozemyne was different. She was relaxed about etiquette and had an insatiable curiosity.

    He opened the vessel, releasing the smell of vinegar, wine, and spices. Then he reached in extracting a large, flat, brown bug. “This is a coach beetle,” he said, showing it to her.

    “Ughhh.” Her response was involuntary as revulsion swept over her. To her, it looked like a giant cockroach. It was definitely something that did not belong in the kitchen.

    "Why would you eat that?" she asked, scrunching up her face.

    “I suppose you wouldn’t know, Your Grace. Next week is a local holiday celebrating the twin stars #crossing the River of Light and uniting. You must know the legend of Vegalinde and Altairhart. It’s considered an auspicious day for proposals. It is said that if your partner eats one of these, they’ll never stop loving you. Young men make quite a show of swallowing them.”

    Rozemyne’s first thought was,"Yuck! Why cockroaches?” Then, "Wait, Tanabata! A weaver and a herdsman separated by a celestial river? Has someone else from Japan visited Alexandria before me?

    The chef continued, “When these little devils mate, the male rides around on the female’s back for weeks. That’s how they got the name coach beetle. Some people believe that men who eat them will be as faithful as the beetles themselves.”

    Rozemyne thanked him and departed. “I know one thing: I’m not giving Ferdinand one of those. Revolting!” she said to herself.

    The thought of her subjects eating cockroaches wouldn't leave the Aub’s mind. "What a dreadful tradition! Star-Cross Day deserves better. It’s like a Tanabata and Valentine's hybrid. Giving chocolates or making wishes would make more sense than eating bugs!

    Her thoughts continued as she mulled over the problem, "Unfortunately, there isn’t anything similar to chocolate in this universe, but giving sweets to your love sounds just as nice. What could I create for women to give to their favorite person?

    "Mochi.”She’d just introduced that, but it was difficult to make, and the grain was expensive. Ferdinand said they should reserve it for nobles for the time being. Next, she thought of heart-shaped sugar candies. Clear, sparkly red hearts would be cute, but perfecting them would take time.

    Rozemyne looked over the city and the sun setting in the desert beyond. The book she had been reading lay in front of her, along with the tea she had been enjoying. She sighed and looked at the letter from Hannelore she had received.

    She sighed again. Even though it mentioned the Shumil reader she had given her, the tone was flat and contained metaphors she didn’t understand. There was no way she could get Ferdinand’s help interpreting it. He had been furious that she had given the magic item to her book-buddy. It would have been helpful if he had explained why, but he had told her to speak with her chief maid.

    Sorona’s letter had been equally puzzling. Why would Hannelore be avoiding Sorrona? High Tea at The Royal Academy:

    She put the letters away, using them as a bookmark in the book she was reading. Since she had used up the library time Ferdinand had allotted her, she would do the next best thing to take her mind off this mystery: Sample treats in the kitchen and share a new recipe with the chef!

    When she had first started coming to the royal kitchens, the workers had nearly died of fright, and her husband had lectured her. But since she was now Aub, she could push social limits further, and it wasn’t long before people were used to her visits. She was even almost friends with the chef, Milburn.

    Now that the staff knew she might visit any time, the kitchen was always spotless. Scullery maids scrubbed the marble-topped tables and blue and white tile floors until they shone. You could see yourself in the bottoms of copper-bottom pots that hung in rows. Using the cleansers Rozemyne had invented, the servants had scoured all traces of smoke from the row of ovens. It was a far cry from how she had found it right after the war.

    Next to the library or her family’s home, the kitchen was one of her favorite places. It was a place of inspiration, where the sight of new things was sure to spark an idea. This time, it was a row of brown ceramic pots, each with two blue stars, that caught her attention.

    That settled things, and after another round of tea, stew, and barley grain, the shaman led us out into the night fog. She turned and began following a shale-littered trail that climbed to the top of a ridge. On the far side, the murk parted, revealing Himeji Castle below. It stood white against the velvety black sky, glittering. Mist swirled around it, like ghostly arms embracing the fortress. Above, a slender moon and bright stars shone. As we gazed, a comet streaked across the heavens. I would forever remember the beauty of that scene.

    “The cowherd seeks his lover,” Seirei-onna said. “#Crossing for one night is more than I shall ever have. Now go. The way is open for you, as it is closed to me.” She gestured to a path leading down to the lights of the castle town below.

    When first imported the 'Qixi Festival' (七夕) was read as 'Shichiseki' in Japanese.
