To Mr. Murrietta's words, I blinked.
No, yeah, what?
"I made a chocolate cake, Julia, and... you know, Hans said she used to make princess tea treats!
"... Really?"
It makes sense that I didn't answer her words instantly.
A pattern of mockery against me cooking in the aristocracy.
I think it is fair to say that this is a very common harassment because it was also seen by other noble ladies. But she's from the common people, and you didn't know if the noble lady wouldn't cook.
... No, if I think about it normally, I wouldn't imagine that nobles would cook from hand to hand, and that's what I do.
Just a pattern of normal praise.
It's not like anyone's dropping by me to say it's amazing, including flattery and the real deal... with His Excellency the Chancellor for snack purposes?
(Well, one way or the other)
I don't think there's any latter. It's kind of like getting Aldar's information from there, even if you're kidding me.
If she hasn't given up...... no maybe she hasn't given up the seat of Aldar's lover, but asking that to her current lover makes me regret it. Are you aiming for a gap rather than regret...... I don't know a bit about the finesse around it.
"Sure, sometimes I suggest serving tea treats to Her Royal Highness, but this cake is made at the popular Mitchellan confectionery under the castle."
"Really?"
"Yes, well, when I say Mitchellan Confectionery, it's a fancy store, and it's not something you can eat all the time..."
"I specialize in chocolate, so I can't help it."
"What, a specialty store?
"Didn't you know? It's also well established under the castle, and you'll be delighted with gifts for your guests, so it's useful to remember."
From now on, when they call me to the Tea Party as a baron's maid, etc., I think they will respond accordingly if I can take it.
Well, I guess it's hard because there's some consultation with the price, after all, even I'm usually patient when I think about it at the price, patience!
There's also a caloric problem.
To what I had kindly taught, Mr. Murietta looked somewhere unconvinced. Oh, I wonder if I said something weird.
If I said Mitchellan chocolate, I'd already be famous.
Well, it's probably because it's so upscale that there's also a sort of state-of-the-art part between the nobles that it's unknown to the common people as they go to the provinces.
"... Is that the only place you can make chocolate?
"Right, that's how I remember it..."
Yes, I can't even get the cocoa powder itself.
It's just imported, so it's really expensive, and Mitchellan sells chocolates made by confectioners from there, so it's definitely faster to buy them than to make their own...
That's right, I wasn't so keen on making my own chocolate because I made a little confectionery in my past life.
"Though some stores seem to be doing research as well. Interested?
"No! It's a luxury store, so I thought we might not be able to buy it."
"Well that's right, I'm sure it's not as expensive as buying all the time...... why don't you take a peek at it once?
To my suggestion, Mr Murietta was laughing and nodding but seemed somewhat discouraged.
I wonder if you wanted so much chocolate.
(... I wonder if there was anything in chocolate that would link me to my previous life)
Like, developed by a hidden character?
No, no, no. I don't even know who spread the chocolate to the Mitchellan confectionery when I go with that, but it's been quite a while, so it's different.
I don't think I liked the character being attacked or anything like that.
I don't think there was a Mitchellan confectionery in [the game]. I don't know if it's accurate because I remember... but it shouldn't matter.
"Yes, I wanted to talk to Julia if I could see her!
"Well. But today is a tea party that combines Mr. Aeren's celebrations. Nothing very personal."
"That's right, Murietta.... If I miss today, I won't be able to get in touch with you and me for a while, and more importantly, I can't let just a knight's wife get along with a baroness."
Mr. Aeren said he was smiling before the cake, but he got soggy somehow. That's right, you'd be a little sad if you prioritized your consultations over your friends, wouldn't you?
You must have thought you made a little mistake yourself on the boulder, Mr. Murietta hastily waved her hand in front of his face and started making excuses towards Mr. Aeren.
"Chi, it's not, Ellen. Plus, I don't care about the difference in status. I want a letter when I get over there! Absolutely reward me for getting there safely, because I'm waiting!!
"... thanks Murietta"
"Julia is busy, that's why I was so anxious to... Sorry, I was so excited about my time with Aeren. Really?"
It's like an abandoned puppy to look at Mr. Aeren as if he cares for his pretty face. I think I'll forgive that. Is she used to seeing Mr. Aeren? I just smiled small and bitter.
No maybe Mr. Aeren is a beautiful woman so he just doesn't do anything like poor attacking a beautiful girl......!?
"Don't bother Julia too much. Murietta should go to school and find close friends from there."
"I know that! So I'm going to do my best. I just thought I should tell you something like this."
"... what should I tell you, is?
"Yes!"
Shouldn't I say something terrible again?
With such a hunch, me and Mr. Aeren look at each other softly.
In the subtle air, the tea that Mr. Aeren brewed me was making a delicious looking hot air and we drank tea before it cooled down and started eating cake.
For not staying like this... you shouldn't, you know.
Mr. Murietta, I'm looking at you!
"Yulia, the cake is delicious. Thank you."
Mr. Aeren will thank me if he cares.
I'm sure it's a sincere thank you because it's really delicious... you look like Mr. Nicholas!
... Mr. Nicholas?
"Oh, speaking of which, this cake was taught to me by an acquaintance butler."
"Well, is it?
"Yeah, he told me he was worried about a souvenir for a friend. I knew it too, but he pushed me on the back as well."
Actually, no!
But what I said to the "acquaintance butler” caused a wrinkle between Mr. Murietta's eyebrows.
Yeah, that frigid face must have floated in her brain, too.
... I apologize to Mr. Nicholas, but His Royal Highness Prince Wang treats her like she's in charge, so let me push you.
This is a good idea, even I do it when I do it!
That you can't grow up with younger girls?
No, she grows into a fine lady when she sees and hears these parts.... maybe.
"If it's a consultation, you might want to rely on him. You look familiar too, Mr. Murietta."
"... by the way, who is it..."
"It's Mr. Nicholas. You've seen him before, haven't you? I heard His Royal Highness Prince Wang ordered me to consult him because he was a senior at the school."
"Oh, uh... yeah, right. Yes, I've seen you."
You're ruining my pretty face! Is it because there are beautiful girls who don't?
Strange how cute you look when you wrinkle between your eyebrows...
But Mr. Murietta turned to me with a serious face when he didn't put what he thought that way on the table.
"But I want to tell you if I want to talk to you..."
"Well."
"I have the power to predict the future!... It's a secret because I can't handle it and it's not always available. That power showed me."
To what she said, Mr. Aeren looked a little pale.
Yeah, I wanted to put a cake in her mouth and stop it, too, thoughtfully.
But I can't swallow any more words that have come out.
What do you really want with this girl?
