The Bungsu Princess Inferior

53. Dining House

"What a special thing," I said again. I rewind the time exactly 1 month from the time I arrived at the hot spring, usually when traveling to the past, I would not be seen and could not interact, he said, just like my trip to the kingdom of fire. But when it turns out that time calls don't apply, time calls break all boundaries. I stared at the blue sky which was now starting to light up completely due to the sun that was starting to appear slowly.

"Let's go Balin" one answer I got. I stayed away from the market and walked towards the restaurant that was right across the market. The building looks old, but spacious and 3-story. Balin followed behind me, "Copy me remind you once again, whatever happens, please control your emotions."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

I continued my steps until I entered the restaurant, I saw almost all the tables were full, people were seen chatting freely and freely, he said, judging by their simple clothes and some merchandise they brought, I suspect they were merchants who were stopping by. My eyes turned to stare at the stairs that were right in the middle of the room, some people in cheap clothes were seen climbing the stairs, it seemed that the second floor was more comfortable for them, is there a caste difference here? What about the highest floor?

"Good morning young lady, let's take you upstairs." A man wearing what seemed to be the waitress of this restaurant directly pointed upstairs. "Come, young lady."

"Are there no empty tables on this floor?" ask me in a polite tone.

"There's a lady, but not a woman." The waiter replied in a polite but firm tone, "it is not good if the lady sits among many men like this, it would be more comfortable if the lady was sitting upstairs, in addition to the wider room, there are also curtains that can be lowered to maintain the privacy of young ladies."

I smiled, at first I thought there was a caste difference applied in this restaurant, but in fact it was much more noble than I thought, they just wanted to uphold the dignity of women.

"Alright, please take us upstairs."

"Come," the servant walked in front of me and led us up the sturdy wooden ladder, from which he turned to the right. Unlike the ground floor that is filled with many tables and chairs arranged, this floor has several spaces that are blocked by curtains, although clinging to each other but looks more privacy when the curtains are lowered, even though I saw some people who still chose not to lower the curtain, so I guess lowering the curtain or not is a free choice.

"Please young lady," the servant invited us to sit in one of the curtained rooms located in the corner of the room, I sat down, in contrast to Balin who was still standing upright behind the servant, he seems reluctant to sit down.

"Balin, please sit down!" my orders telepathically, he seemed to disagree but I stared at him sharply. "This is Balin's order!"

When I issued the word of command, then Balin stepped and sat in front of me, he was still sitting with a perfect attitude, playing a personal bodyguard very well, but it was precisely this that always upset me, he said, can't he just be relaxed for once?

"Sorry Miss, I previously informed you of the rules of this restaurant." I looked at the waiter with a little unexpected shock, only this time I found a restaurant with rules. "Must not make physical contact while in this restaurant, I beg you to obey her wisely."

I gawk in shock, physical contact? Did he remind me because I came with Balin alone? Well, this waitress is so straightforward.

"How many people have berated you when you say this rule, sir?" manya curious.

"It doesn't matter how much abuse I get, the most important thing is that I've tried to maintain the dignity of the female customers who come."

I smiled at his wise reply, "why are you just talking to me, not to my friend?"

"Because we put women first, miss. We want every woman to realize that they are respected and valued in this restaurant."

"There are certainly many men who are offended by the way you treat the women who come with them" I said.

The waiter snapped his finger and a menu appeared between me and Balin. I used telepathy because Balin seemed silent and did not pay attention to the menu. "Balin, what do you want to order?"

"No Your Majesty," Balin's telepathic reply made me sigh deeply.

I turned to look at the waiter, "please serve us the food most ordered, thank you in advance."

The waiter flicked his finger again, the menu list disappeared instantly. "Well lady, please wait a moment," the waiter then withdrew and disappeared from my sight.

Seeing Balin who was still perfectly seated in front of me in silence, I felt lazy to ask him to speak, I was reluctant to make myself upset because of Balin's short answer, he said, he will only answer me at length if it is about something important and related to his work, besides that all I receive is a one-two-word answer.

I closed my eyes, as the voices of the people in the diner burst into my ears.

"I was scared when I looked for herbs at night, the forest looked pitch-black. But I had no choice because I had to work in the morning" a woman's voice was heard complaining.

"You know, I even had to go to the neighboring kingdom just because my pregnant wife wanted meat. Meat is so expensive when it's not hunting time, I have no other choice."

I continued to focus on trying to sort out the complaints from all the talks in this restaurant.

"Have you seen Mr Han today? I was always worried because Mr. Han lives alone, he is a good person but it is sad to see him living a lonely life."

"His daughter was too busy in the capital, and she was too generous to have her servants released, maybe living alone was her choice."

"I want to work and earn a lot of money, but I can't bear to leave my parents."

"I am saddened to hear that Princess Lia's condition is getting worse and worse, fortunately young master Liam faithfully accompanied by her side."

Princess Lia sir? The liam? These two names are familiar to me, I remember hearing them recently. I held on and tried to hear this conversation for longer.

"Thank God Princess Lia has found a faithful man like young master Liam, I can't imagine in the midst of her pain she should be abandoned by the one she loves, if only that time the Princess did not have the courage to still choose to be with young master Liam and leave everything behind."

"The princess sacrificed everything for the sake of being with young master Liam, and now it seems that young master Liam is avenging all of Princess Lia's love by staying loyal to be beside her."

"Don't forget the services of Prince Ken, because the Prince was the one they can stay together to this day."

Who else is prince Ken?
