The Future Queen's
Tea Drinking Party
Today is a feast day. The day that people are grateful for the abundant harvest this year. The harvest event is usually a tea ceremony between relatives.
The palace also holds tea. Usually the queen invites the nobles to have tea together.
Today Roselyn and Rila rushed to the palace garden, because there would be a tea ceremony.
Because Rila was not a noble family, so she headed to where the ladies gathered.
Because the harvest event is identical to the bright color. Today Roselyn is wearing a light purple flower patterned canal dress.
"Miss, I'll head there huh" Rila pointed towards the gathered ladies and gentlemen.
Roselyn nodded.
'I really don't know anyone here' Roselyn murmured.
Roselyn went around the park drinking her tea.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman of about 50 years came to him.
"I just saw you first...Whoareyou?" Ask the woman while closing her fan.
"Greetings.. I'm Roselyn"
"Rosely? Hm...Princess Roselyn.."
"Ah.Yes..." Roselyn answered briefly.
The woman's eyes were cold, like she wanted to say that she didn't like Roselyn.
"What does a royal princess do to be in this place? Are you uncomfortable with your country? The woman asked cynically.
"I'm a writer... I traveled to countries to learn the culture of that country "Roselyn explained at length to the woman.
"Owhhh... Are you a spy? " The woman pointed at Roselyn's face with the tip of her fan.
"Duchess Elizha, are you enjoying the party?"
Not yet Roselyn answered the woman's question, the queen came along with three other noble ladies.
"Hail Queen... I really enjoyed the party" the woman smiled softly in response to the queen.
" Like the party of Duchess Elizha"
"Thank you for your invitation to the queen." The woman named Duchess Elizha left the queen and Roselyn.
"Rosely... Sorry for the carelessness of Duchess Elizha"
"It's okay, queen... Maybe just misunderstand"
"Watch the party, may you like it" the queen took Roselyn's shoulder and left.
"Duchess Elizha seems like I've heard that name but where is it?" Roselyn continued to drink her tea.
"Daughter of Roselyn, we meet again" a black-haired woman Roselyn recognized came to her.
"Duchess Almira's.. Salutations.."
"You enjoying the party?"
Almira invited Roselyn to sit down. Lesly was accompanying them too.
"Lately I know there's a harvest party"
"Well, here the harvest is precious.. You know, there's just a lot of rocks in this country"
The three of them chatted, there was a bit of laughter between them when there was something they thought was funny.
On the other side of the park, Nagie did not like their familiarity.
"What are they doing, it seems like they want to destroy me" Nagie bit her lip signaling she was furious.
"I saw that woman my son" Duchess Elizha came to see Nagie.
"What mom did"
"Right what you said son, this time your enemy is so heavy.The queen defends him"
"What?!?" Nagie asked in a tone of disbelief.
The faces of Nagie and her mother were very, very grim this time. There was a hint of hatred between the two of them.
This tea is interesting this time.
Roselyn was already familiar with the prince's two concubines.
It means he has made friends in this kingdom.
It's time for Roselyn to meet Rila and her best friend.
"Rila, I met a woman who doesn't like me"
"Not... The Queen calls her Duchess Elsa, Resa? I don't know"
" huh? Elsa? The resa? There is no such thing in the kingdom"
"I forgot... Her hair was brownish-black in a bun and then there was a mole under her lips"
Rila stopped walking and looked at Roselyn sharply
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Roselyn was confused by Rila's behavior.
Rila looked left and right and pulled Roselyn's hand.
"Let's go home, miss"
"What's Rila?!"
" I'll tell you when I'm home"
Rila was silent on the street.
Rila was never that serious. He is usually joking.
After they got home. Rila took Roselyn to sit down.
"Miss, the one you met was Duchess Elizha"
"Ah.iya that..."
"What did he say to the lady?"
Rila's gaze was sharp. This time he was very serious. I don't know what's wrong with Duchess Elizha.
"He said that I was a spy"
Rila sighed and fell silent.
"You scared me Rila"
"Duchess Elizha is Nagie's mother, once Duchess Elizha could be like her position now because of her cunning ways"
"That means?!"
"He made some people receive the death penalty, some have been expelled and revoked his noble title" suddenly Rila shed tears.
"What's Rila?" Roselyn was shocked this new Rila cried.
"Yes, he got my mother's father kicked out of the palace and revoked his royal title"
Roselyn clasped Rila's hand.
"Lordinates?"
"First, my father and mother were nobles with the titles of Count and Countess.. Count Altri is my father's name.."
"Then what happened to your mother's father?"
"Because of my father's skill in managing the kingdom's finances, the king wanted to raise my parents' titles to duke and duchess"
"King Martien?"
"Yes.it sounded to the woman's ears.One day, my father was arrested for embezzling royal money.our house was searched.."
Rila.. Roselyn took the cloth for Rila.
Then Rila continued her story.
"Founded 1 chest of gold coins underground in my mother's father's room, my parents claimed not to belong to them"
"What happened to your parents?" Ask Roselyn
"The King and Queen were initially distrustful.but because the woman provoked other nobles as well as the king and queen.we were expelled from the palace"
Roselyn.. There is a sense of compassion for Rila.
Rila continued her story
"My father was stressed from being poor... Until he died. and my mother...."
Rila... Roselyn did not ask again.
"My mother followed my father was not strong to face the ridicule of people.I was then 14 years old at the adoption of the queen's maid"
"It's Rila.... If you cry, your parents will be sad"
"Miss.... I know it's about you and Aldrick.. Miss Nagie must have complained to her mother.. Be careful lady... They're very sneaky.."
Roselyn hugged Rila..
"Thank you Rila... Don't you be sad... I'll be there to accompany you"
