I am a worthy middle-aged maid who has served the Elvasti royal family for many years.

Today, it is unusual for your family to be at home and have tea.These moments are tense moments for us serving the royal family, but things have changed a little lately.

That said, no matter how hot tea we serve in the past, even with sweets made with warm spices of the body, even on hot summer days, the invisible blizzard will blow and the air in the place will cool down.It's the cold that I've been training for so many years that I'm worried about applying for free time (now) without losing my opponent.But recently, the Saviors appeared in the Far North.It's not the bright sun or the glamorous spring breeze.In analogy... yes, a warm cup of tea without any aberration.It is a strange person who has a tenderness that is not too assertive, but that will attract thousands of people.

Well, well.

At today's tea ceremony, Her Royal Highness Princess Lina is performing tea of her choice.I am very careful to serve my first item, especially to Triana, so it is quite expensive for us who know our favorites.But this time, it seemed to suit Triana's mouth.If you serve me for a long time, I can see that this is the response when you liked the current "well".

"Great! Thank you!

To Triana, who couldn't move her expression, Lina returned with a full smile.This is what's amazing about this guy, and he's better at drawing on his feelings than I have been on his side for years.I don't know how many times I was impressed.

"How's your stepfather?

"Ah, it's delicious."

Former King Felix is nodded with a gentle expression.I've been feeling well since I left the line, and recently I've been a hobby of horticulture, and I see you having fun with Lina, who is also a profound artist.

It's kind of strange how people fit together.

Joel, who had gone down to Shisei to see his face even less, was strangely bowing his neck.I was also surprised that those who were usually absent for any reason were present this time.Though Joel was born and raised here, since he was a young man, there was something unfamiliar with this place called the Royal Palace.

"That's right. I didn't think Mother and Lina were going to make it."

Yerik-sama, who had received Joel's words, smiled slightly.It's a little smile, but it certainly makes me happy.Even after I fell asleep on the throne that I was so averse to, my expression was bright, and I was even more emotional just knowing that I was too kind than a child.

"I mean, don't you think my father is a little different?

"I agree. When you stare at your mother, it's like...."

When you look at Felix in the eye like you two, I think that there is something sweet in Triana's eyes.I have assumed that you have feelings close to trust by standing next to each other for many years, but the current state is that of a husband who loves his wife.

"Hey, Jill. You look cool and you drink tea. Isn't that strange?

Well, especially...

As expressed by Joel, Jilberto gracefully enjoys tea on his face.Since there have been few contacts with this person so far, I have heard that he/she is a person who does everything well, but I can't see what you are thinking.

"Something... it's not funny."

"Jill doesn't care about anything else with Lina."

"I can tell. It's too mellow, isn't it?What do you like about it?

Felix, Triana, and Lina were playing the conversation, so it was inevitable that your brother would start the conversation, but would you be okay with the contents in front of yourself and your parents?But I am also concerned.

"All of it."

... it's a treat.

It's been a long time.

"Isn't that too much to say?There's more cute kids around Jill, and they're wearing more like this.... "

Yoel-sama, I think it's going in a slightly suspicious direction.Isn't that inappropriate in these open spaces?

Furthermore, from our point of view, I can no longer think of any cute person or glamour that someone other than Lina might have been here.

"What are you guys talking about?

Though I was secretly participating in your brother's conversation in my heart, Triana's cold voice stretches even further.I thought you were having fun with your daughter-in-law, but did you get the conversation now?The expression is also slightly cold.

I have noticed recently.Triana said that no matter how much you hurt Lina, it would never be good for someone else to hurt her.

"Yes, no. Anything."

Joel, who felt the cold air from his mother, suddenly calmed down.I have been a weak person for a long time, but it seems that it hasn't changed since I became an adult.

"Mother, please make sure that Joel's feet retreat farther from the royal palace."

"Brother Joel, my stepmother wasn't good at it for a long time."

"Eh, that's crazy...!!

Triana glances at Joel, chilled by his brother, as he tries to beat his mouth lightly.

Is that all?It was a miracle that the tea party surrounded by your family was proceeding gently until now.Will the usual blizzard blow as usual?I glanced at Lina with hope.

"Ladies and gentlemen! My mother-in-law was looking forward to today's tea party!Get along!

Ah, Lina-sama, thank you very much.What an exquisite timing for arbitration.And that's where they draw a line around this person.I don't know how people like me looked forward to it.

"... with this face?Is that it?

Wrinkles were engraved between Trianna's eyebrows.Your sons are like me, with all due respect.

"Both of you!What a waste to be mistaken for such a lovely mother!Look with your eyes!This joy is overflowing from your mother-in-law!!

……

I'm sorry, sir. I tried very hard to follow Lina's words, but I couldn't see the joy from Triana.You'll both see that you're silent.

"Kuku, I got a good wife.Hey, Jill. "

Gilberto nods with a beautiful smile at Felix's gentle question.

"... I'm the perfect wife.It would be a waste for Gilbert. "

Everyone on the spot turned to the Lord of Voices.The person who caught the spotlight at once is looking in the direction of the day after tomorrow with his face and his chin raised.

"Mother-in-law!!

I was thrilled!! and Lina looked at the stepmother with her hands in front of her chest and glittered eyes.Triana-sama just saw the situation, but it didn't seem to be any different.

I was surprised that my mouth was half-open, and I hurriedly closed.For the first time, I encountered a situation where Triana praised someone.Regardless of the harsh words or the cold gaze or the attitude of not being able to fish, did Triana finally give up to Lina who kept swinging her tail like a puppy?The lonely one who hasn't heard from anyone since I put it in Elvasti!What a miracle!

When you are trembling when you encounter a shocking scene, you can hear a group of men who are completely outside the mosquito net interacting with you.

"Jill, aren't you losing to your mother?

"Yeah, Lina's a great mother."

"Those two are the ones who love each other.I'm jealous too. "

……

Gilberto's movements, which seemed to have a leisurely smile on his father's and brother's words, stopped.Even though I wanted to say it back, I couldn't do it, and she looked like she was in a hurry.Looks like Lina is crying.But I feel much more like you than I do.

Thus, the tea ceremony ended in a mild time.There is no doubt that the center was Lina.The royal gear is now meshing around tightly, mainly this way, even though it is not strongly self-assertive.I feel grateful for the wonderful one.As long as he's here, we won't tremble in the cold anymore.The future of Elvasti is bright and hopeful.

And for me, today was the day I vowed to serve the royal family sincerely.
