Chapter 4: 4 Tea Ceremony

How could she sleep peacefully with the king asleep?

After spending the night writing and knitting under a little light, Diana changed from her nightgown to her regular dress at dawn and waited for the king to wake up.

...... Of course, when King Juke woke up in the morning, he showed a shocked expression on his face.

...... What's this all about?

"Good morning, Your Majesty.

"What do you mean?　What have you done to me?

You've downgraded your address from 'you' to 'you'. I did it out of the kindness of my heart, but for some reason it seems to have helped make him hate me. The result is good.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything. Your Majesty has rested on your own. A good night's sleep would have relieved your fatigue.

Is that how you want to ingratiate yourself? I told you, no matter what you do, I will never love you!

I said I'd do as you wish. I said I would do as you wish. - I don't want your favor in the first place, if that's what you mean.

"...... So all you want is an heir.

"So you only want an heir? If it was Deanna, I would just let it go, but I'm up all night. I can't help but be annoyed at why she had to say that much.

"It's good to see you've had a good night's rest. Please come back.

"...... what?

I said, please go home. --I'm tired. I'm tired and I don't want to waste any more time.

I don't want to waste any more time." He took a glance at the king with the feeling that he had had enough. This was not the way to behave towards a king, but Diana was tired too. You can't have affection for someone who doesn't even take your words seriously in this situation.

"...... Of course!　I don't even want to see your face anymore!

The king walked out of the room with a shout of anger. Rita and the palace maids came in at the same time. Rita was the first to rush in, leaving behind the somewhat reserved maids.

"Master Diana, is there something wrong?

"Rita, ...... change the sheets on my bunk.

Yes, ......, Deanna, no way!

Don't worry, I'll tell you later.

After receiving their master's order, the maids finally began to act. As you would expect from the ladies of the royal court, there was no wasted time in their swift movements, and in no time at all, the bed was restored to its original beauty. While the bed was being prepared, Diana changed into her nightgown again. Rita helped her, but in a whispered voice.

"Master Diana, have you slept at all?

"I haven't slept a wink. I've given you my bed and I've been waiting on the couch so that I can be ready to move if anything should happen to you when you're off.

...... You and His Majesty seemed to be on such bad terms just now that I can't believe you were so concerned about him.

I was a little angry too. I was a little angry too, so I retaliated.

But I don't regret it. It is Krester's style to release his frustration when he gets annoyed, because it would be difficult for him to suppress his emotions. I'm used to being disliked, and I can't deal with a 'villain face' if I'm so effeminate as to cling to a relationship that can be destroyed by that level of dislike.

Rita sighed deeply.

I don't think you're going to make it to breakfast.

I'd rather sleep now. Have lunch and a snack ready for me before noon.

Yes, sir. ...... Oh, by the way.

The good maid did not miss the slightest opportunity to announce her message.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that there will be a tea party this afternoon for those who have been granted a named room.

"......, you're here. All right, I'll leave the dress to you.

Yes, I'll take care of the tea party. Miss Deanna needs to get some rest for now.

Yes, ......, I will.

The maids look at her. When she saw that the bed was ready, she stepped into the bedroom.

I'm going to rest for a while. We'll have a quick snack before noon, please.

"Ha. ...... Yes. Yes, ma'am.

Rita told me about the tea party. Please be ready with Rita.

Yes, ......!

The maids of honor responded very crisply. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few things to do.

--I already know that my appearance can unintentionally make people wary of me.

But... I wish.

I'd like to meet someone who sees Deanna for who she is, not just what she looks like.

I'm not sure if it's so strange to think that. ......

In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Elgrand, there are five "rooms" named after flowers.

The first, of course, is the Red Rose Room, where Diana is currently residing. It is also known as the "Queen's Room," and in times when the palace does not function, the "Red Rose Room" is the living space of the queen.

Following the "Red Rose Room," the "Peony Room," "Waterlily Room," "Bellflower Room," and "Violet Room" lined up in order. In many eras when a queen could not be chosen, princesses of distinguished families were gathered in the Named Rooms and fought darkly to become the queen.

However, in today's palace, the "Hall of Names" has a slightly different meaning than in the past. After all, the number of people gathered here is only a few. There is no way that five rooms will suffice.

In the palace of the current king, "a chambermaid in the Hall of Names" meant "a princess of the top level of family and culture. In fact, the princesses who have been granted the "Hall of Fame" are a veritable who's who of the world.

"Welcome, Master Diana. We've been expecting you.

"This way, please.

"Well, thank you very much.

The first people to call out to Diana in the tea room, accompanied by Rita and Yuri, were two marquisees who knew each other.

The Marquise Lia Stresia and the Marquise Yolanda Eustace. Along with Diana, they have outstanding good looks and are known as "flowers" in the social circles. Their families are of the same rank and age, and the two have always been close friends. She has been kind to Deanna in many ways, and they have been acquainted with each other for a long time.

"Would you like some tea?　It's from Leticia's estate.

Yes, of course, I'd be delighted. Miss Letitia, are you the one ...... is talking about?

...... Yes. Nice to meet you, Miss Diana. My name is Leticia Kiel.

I'm Letitia Kiel." Deanna quickly flipped through the "Book of Nobility" in her mind and opened the entry for the Kiel family. It's an earl's family with a territory in the warm south. Well, that would be a good climate for tea cultivation.

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know that the Earl of Kiel cultivated tea in his domain. Are you in business?

"Yes, I do. The tea leaves in particular seem to grow better in areas with higher temperatures. Since my father's time, I've been working extensively with it, hoping that it will become a unique product of our land.

That's wonderful. It's wonderful. There should be crops that are unique to each region. Since our country has such a large territory, it would be better if each lord would research crops suited to his own land.

"Oh, dear. You just entered the palace yesterday, and now you're pretending to be a queen?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. Letitia froze in front of her, and Raia and Yolanda, who had taken their seats, raised their eyebrows. Deanna switched the subject of her conversation to the strange young lady right beside her.

I'm just saying what I think. "I was just saying what I thought. Why do you think you're 'pretending to be a queen' now?

"The administration of the realm is a part of politics. It is only a queen who can wisely interfere in the affairs of a woman.

You're talking about a very old-fashioned thing. Let me see. ......

My name is Liliane Landreth.

How do you do? I'm Deanna Crester. Please make my acquaintance.

While returning the greeting, I flipped through the "Book of Nobility" in my mind again. The name "Landrose" was found in a fairly high-ranking marquis family. It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if you can find any useful information.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

The table for the tea party was rectangular, and it was customary for the ladies of the Red Rose Room, Peony Room, Water Lily Room, Bellflower Room, and Violet Room to sit in a clockwise order. Lilliane is seated right next to Diana, and on the other side of her are Ria, Yolanda, and Letitia, in that order.

(Liliane is in the Peony Room, Ria is in the Water Lily Room, Yolanda is in the Bellflower Room, and ...... Leticia is the lady who was given the Violet Room.

Except for Deanna, all the others are generally given rooms that match their family status. You can say that Laetitia's inclusion in the list of names is out of the ordinary, but she is the daughter of a successful count who discovered a new specialty and developed it into a business. It's not just family status, but also accomplishments that were taken into account when selecting the "namesake".

And by the way, Master Diana, you've already heard the rumors, haven't you?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to make of it.

You've just arrived at the palace yesterday, and you've already spent the night with His Majesty? I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk.

"So it's ......?

I'm not sure what to make of that. In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. In the beginning, Juke was not Deanna's favorite person, and Deanna, who didn't want to force herself to be liked by someone she didn't like, had completely erased the formula of "King Juke" being "someone you should hope to favor".

Therefore. Therefore, she doesn't really care about any rumors about her relationship with the king. The rumors are wrong and should be denied, but I don't even want to spend the effort to deny them. If it is a rumor that is a psychological burden, or if it is a rumor that can be passed off as a stone on the side of the road, it is the ultimate waste of time.

"Your Majesty must have been concerned about my father. It would be bad for his reputation to disrespect the man who gave him the Red Rose.

"Is that so?

I doubt His Majesty would care about such an obligation...

Even if he did, what reason would he have to stay in his room all night?

"That's because ...... His Majesty was tired.

Well!　I'm sure you'll feel right at home with Master Diana.

I'm sure you'll be able to relax by Diana's side. ...... It's too much trouble to deny, so I've stated the view and the truth as it is. I'm not sure what to make of that, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

Raiya and Yolanda seemed to be enjoying themselves, and Leticia joined in the conversation in a reserved manner, and the atmosphere among the four of us was somewhat relaxed. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. ...... To be more precise, I had to pay attention to the hateful killing intent that was being thrown at me.

If you're not sure what you're looking for, you can always ask for help.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you. ...... It's going to be complicated, Diana sighed inwardly.
