A divorced evil lady bakes cakes - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Other guests went through a similar process.

They were curious and admired the taste of the scones served as drinks and services, so they ordered a dessert.

Everyone seemed to be satisfied that it was delicious.

“Is it okay for the first day of business?”

Erin took turns with Mellie, then went back to the kitchen and made the cookie dough.

It was a butter cookie with vanilla essence in an ordinary half porridge with butter and eggs.

Erin put the well-mixed dough into a squeeze bag and squeezed it into shape one by one.

And I baked a cookie dough made into a circle like a coin in the oven.

In the hot flames of the oven, the fragrant and soft scent of butter began to ooze.

After a while, a brown-colored cookie came out with a savory buttery scent.

Erin ate a hot cookie.

As the cookies crumbled, the savory smell of butter spread in my mouth.

The sweet and sweet taste of butter and softly mixed was excellent.

“I’m going to give this out instead of scones in the afternoon.”

Erin headed to the store with a tray of cookies.

The inside of the noisy shop was strangely quiet.

When I opened the back door from the garden and entered the store, I saw men in the store.

Erin was surprised and stopped.

“Lady Erin.”

A familiar middle-aged man found Erin and approached him.

He’s the one she’ve seen every day for the past nine years. It was the emperor’s chieftain.

He politely bowed in front of Erin.

“Erin, your Majesty is looking for you.”

9 years ago.

Sunlight penetrated through the glamorously colored glass.

After a long walk through the long corridor along the corridor, a small annex with a chapel came out.

The chapel at the western end of the Imperial Palace.

Erin was there.

The chapel was quiet without people. A statue and a candlestick were visible on the altar. On one side was a golden chalice.

‘I’m sorry.’

There, the emperor honestly apologized to Erin.

‘I knew Raymond didn’t like this marriage. But I didn’t know it would be this much. I’m sorry. I have no face to see you.’

Was it about three months after I got married? Probably it was.

It was a time when Raymond’s attitude of ignoring Erin without having to spend the first night was all about the new Duchess talking about being unpretentious.

The emperor called Erin to the chapel and apologized.

‘t’s all my fault. I’m sorry.’

As the emperor said so, he bowed his head to Erin.

At that moment, I remember being so surprised that I couldn’t even breathe.

At that time, His Majesty, as high as the sky, bowed his head in front of me. I couldn’t believe it, so I had no time to think about anything else.

‘Your Majesty, I’m fine. Don’t blame yourself too much. I am really okay.’

Despite being the person who received the apology, Erin was confused and tried to appease the old emperor.

At that time, I thought it was really okay. It was about 3 months since I was married. Until then, I could still endure it.

‘And, I… I am deeply grateful for the things Your Majesty has done for my father.’

Although she learned about Raymond’s sincerity and realized the reality of her marriage, Erin at the time was satisfied just that her parents were comfortable.

I was so satisfied that I was determined to be patient even if I was condemned.

The emperor nodded quietly.

‘As long as I am alive, I will surely protect you no matter what happens.’

The old emperor kept that promise.

Because of his face, he was reluctant to intervene deeply in his grandson’s privacy, but he was on the side of Erin when absolutely necessary.

Even when she was in trouble with Einz, the emperor trusted Erin and was willing to side with her

.

And now, Erin’s small shop had attendants of the Imperial Palace. A carriage was also seen outside the door leading to the street. It was a carriage with the emperor’s emblem engraved on it.

The tea-drinking guests stared at Erin and the city hall with their eyes wide open with astonishment.

“Your Majesty told you to bring lady Erin to the Imperial Palace.”

The middle-aged attendant serving the emperor politely conveyed the emperor’s will to Erin.

“Your Majesty is back.”

I knew this would happen one day. However, Erin did not intend to return to the Imperial Palace again. Even if it was a brief visit, I didn’t want to go.

“Was it an order?”

Erin asked calmly towards the bell.

“Did your Majesty order me to return to the Imperial Palace?”

The attendant looked at Erin calmly and replied.

“No, Your Majesty said he would ask Erin for a favor.”

It seemed so. The emperor was a gentle and educated man. You can never force it.

“Thank you for visiting me.”

Erin nodded and calmly and clearly communicated her will.

“But I am not going back to the Imperial Palace anymore. Thank you so far. Please tell him this.”

“Okay, lady Erin.”

The chieftain tried to return without asking any more.

At that moment, Erin recalled a tray of cookies he had just made and brought to the store.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Erin asked the attendant for patience, took a small glass bottle from the store and put a cookie.

Cookies were filled in a small glass bottle and the entrance was wrapped with paper. Then, the paper was tied with string and decorated with ribbons. It was quite reasonable to make it that way.

Erin handed the glass bottle to the attendant.

“Give it to your Majesty. It’s a small gift from my part.”

Raymond was walking through a long corridor in the emperor’s palace.

The emperor who went to war returned to the imperial palace after a long time.

In the corridor leading from the reception room to the garden, there were crowds of people who wanted to see the emperor.

As usual, Raymond calmly walked toward the garden at the emperor’s palace.

People bowed towards him as he slowly walked through the corridor.

The emperor’s palace was the most luxurious and luxurious place in the imperial palace.

Marble floors and painting ceilings.

The hall was filled with colorful vases and sculptures.

It was a luxurious palace that could not be imagined in other countries.

The empire has long enjoyed wealth, but it was the current emperor who prospered to this extent.

“Your Majesty is waiting.”

The emperor’s tea room was on the first floor facing the garden.

As I entered the tea room with the window wide open, the fresh scent of flowers exudes pleasantly.

The interior of the tea room covered with marble tiles was bright and comfortable with the sunlight. the two sitting face to face with the tea cups turned to him.

As Raymond reached the tea table, the eyes of the two men, who were sitting opposite him with a teacup, turned to him.

One was the emperor and the other was the prime minister.

As he had entered the elderly, the prime minister stood calmly and bowed his head to Raymond.

Raymond walked towards the table and was polite.

“I see Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“okay. Come on.”

The emperor was an old man who looked kind and caring, unlike the clumsy-looking minister.

Blue-gray eyes shining brightly for his age were looking closely at Raymond.

Raymond sat down facing the emperor. It was the seat next to the Prime Minister.

It was their first meeting in a few months. Raymond glanced at the prime minister next to him, but he looked at his emotionless eyes and said nothing.

On the table were tea cups and tea pots made of high-quality porcelain that can only be obtained in foreign countries across the sea.

It was a beautiful teacup with light blue wisteria flowers on a pure white background and a gold frame.

It was a complete tea set, including a tea cup and a tea pot.

The emperor, who liked tea, also had a hobby of collecting tea.

As Raymond sat down, he poured tea into this teacup.

A white tea cup filled with fragrant tea with sweet scents was refreshingly shining.

“There must have been a lot of hard work doing my job in the meantime.”

Raymond added light admiration as he put down the teacup after sipping the tea.

“Will you compare it to your Majesty? who commanded the war directly in the South? I have no experience yet, so the prime minister here is the one who suffered.”

The prime minister fell in love with the words and touched the teacup.

“Your Majesty managed the state administration much more competently than me.”

After such a formal greeting, the emperor first brought out the main subject.

“I came back early because there was something bad in the palace.”
