“I don’t think I’m considerate enough to use that term. That would be an overstatement.”
Hersia placed her hands on her cheeks like a young girl and flashed a bright smile. Well, she was only 21, and she had a boyfriend, so everything must have looked rosy to her.
Hersia, who seemed to have completely gotten over her shyness, clapped her hands with a bright smile and said,
“By the way, these days, it’s trendy to drink black tea with sugar. How about black tea with sugar?”
“I also enjoy drinking black tea with sugar. Let’s do that, Hersia.”
When Hersia ordered black tea and sugar for her attendant, Sicar ordered black tea powder and milk together.
So the queen and Hersia looked puzzled, but Sicar had a face of ignorance.
‘That brazen expression!’
While the attendant was handing the queen and Hersia their sugared black tea, their gaze was on the milk that Sicar had ordered.
“Prepare a blend for the Duchess at a ratio of two parts black tea powder to eight parts milk.”
Of course, the attendant, who was making milk tea for the first time, couldn’t do it all at once. Plus, with Sicar watching from the side with his arms crossed, the attendant’s hand was shaking.
‘Oh dear. He’s going to cause an accident.’
After watching for a while, Sicar said in a frustrated tone, looking at the attendant,
“Enough. Just bring it here.”
“Yes. Yyes! Your Grace!”
The highly tensed attendant set down the tea ingredients in front of Sicar with trembling hands. Then, Sicar made milk tea with skilled hand movements and handed it to me.
“Drink, my lady.”
‘If he went to the modern world, he could be an actor.’
I took the milk tea from Sicar with a calm smile on my face, at least to the best of my ability.
“Yes, Your Grace.”
I felt like I was drinking poison instead of milk tea, but because of the people around, I took a sip and subtly put the cup down.
Hersia, unable to resist her curiosity, asked,
“Excuse me, Your Grace. What kind of tea is that?”
“It’s called milk tea. My wife doesn’t drink regular black tea, so I have to make it this way for her.”
‘From the way he talks as if he often makes it, it looks like he’s getting into the act.’
Hersia covered her gaping mouth with both hands, looking amazed.
“Do, do you make the tea yourself?”
“Yes.”
Sicar, who usually wouldn’t have even exchanged a few words with Hersia, seemed to have completely taken on the role of a loving husband today.
Hersia raised her voice in surprise, causing the people around to look at us. Sicar seemed to enjoy their gaze and poured a little more milk into my teacup with a smile.
‘Sicar is smiling. He must be mad!’
Hersia, curious about the taste of the milk tea I was drinking, ordered more milk from the attendant.
“I’m curious about the taste, so I’ll have to try making it. Your Majesty, shall I make one for you?”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to try a new tea.”
“My lady. Since it’s the first time for Her Highness the Queen and Miss Hersia to try milk tea, how about I make it for them?”
Had the queen not been there, I would have answered through gritted teeth, but given the circumstances, I answered with the sweetest smile I could muster.
“That’s a good idea, Your Grace.”
And then I made milk tea and handed it to the queen and Hersia. While the two were tasting the tea, I gritted my teeth and spoke into Sicar’s ear.
“Don’t we lack the time? Isn’t it about time for the assassin to appear?”
“I know. I was just about to get up.”
After finishing his words, Sicar got up from his seat saying he had something to do with the queen and Hersia.
And once again, I had to fear Sicar’s empty seat. Because Hersia, who tasted the milk tea, exclaimed with a happy scream, and the noble ladies flocked to where we were.
“What is this?”
“It’s called milk tea. The Duchess made it, and it’s so delicious.”
“Really? Where, how do you make it?”
“I don’t know either. Duchess, how do you make it?”
Fortunately, there were only a few noble ladies in this banquet hall, otherwise, I might have vomited. I wiped a bit of cold sweat caused by tension and explained slowly.
“You make milk tea by adding 2 parts strong black tea dissolved in warm water to 8 parts milk. Sugar can be added according to preference.”
Everyone was completely preoccupied with making the milk tea as I explained. Now that I had shown them, they would make and taste it themselves.
The response of the people was quite good.
“Um, it really is delicious, isn’t it?”
“I never thought of drinking it like this.”
I didn’t expect to be making milk tea here, but it was popular among the ladies. Plus, people felt a lot of curiosity about me, a person they were seeing for the first time veiled.
However, the protagonist of today had to be the queen, not me.
At the king’s wedding, the biggest event in the royal family, I could not become the protagonist. Thus, I had no choice but to watch the queen’s reaction.
As expected, the queen’s expression was not good.
“Let’s think. Something to highlight the queen……”
At that moment, I remembered the wedding gift the queen had received.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
