Chapter 159. Tea Time

On a sunny afternoon, three guests visited the Rainfield Mansion.

Hello.

Thank you for the invitation.

It was the Imperial Knights, including Yuina.

A few days ago, Annabelle sent an invitation to Yuina asking if she would like to have tea time at Rainfields mansion, as she had promised.

She even added a PS phrase, If there is someone you want to bring, you may bring them.

Of course, there were plenty of knights who wanted tea time with Annabelle.

This was because Yuina wasnt the only one who admired Annabelles personal training while traveling together to and from the Smaho Forest.

Moreover, Annabelle had even won a friendly match against Ian, who was called the strongest of the empire.

Although she didnt win her title of Swordsmanship Contest Winner, people paid attention to her as she overcame black magic and rose to the top of her potential.

Besides, she has risen to the point of becoming an idol of the common people these days.

First of all, it cant be a man. I cant have Sir Ian hating on him for nothing. And it has to be someone who cant talk too much, because I have to talk the most.

After careful consideration, Yuina carefully selected the appropriate members from among the numerous applicants of the Imperial Knights. Read only at pm tl.

So, when Yuina and her party arrived at Rainfield Mansion and were guided to the garden where tea time was prepared

Hey, this is

Oh my goodness.

They saw heaven.

Welcome.

Each table in the garden was filled with colorful tea foods.

And Oscar, with a cold impression, stood in front of the garden with a blunt expression and greeted them briefly.

If there is something missing, please tell me at any time.

Yuinas party felt suffocated, so they couldnt even say hello for a moment, and they were stunned.

Seeing the real life Oscar Reinfield, the owner of Rainfield Restaurant and the main chef of the Duke of Wade!

He was famous for being a flowery middle-aged man with sharp features, and they heard that he didnt get along well with people because of his cold personality.

It was said that when he gets too shocked, he loses his reason and mind rather than gets excited

Then I hope you have a good time.

Oscar nodded politely and left the garden.

Yuinas party said, Its real and they looked at each other.

They thought that Annabelles charisma, which she showed when she raised her sword, seemed to resemble her father.

And contrary to what they thought, Oscar came back into the kitchen and was thrilled.

Oh my gosh My daughter invited her friends to the mansion for the first time In fact, I didnt expect her to make friends

He even went on vacation and thought about a tea food combination all night long.

In the end, he couldnt pick out a small number, so he made a lot.

My daughter is making friends Please, have a good time. Just like a normal social gathering.

Of course, Yuina and her party were having a good time just arriving at the garden.

It was easy for them to taste the desserts at Rainfield Restaurant, as they had 10 years worth of desserts spread out before their eyes.

Today I

Yuina muttered in an ecstatic voice.

Im going to eat all of this, dont stop me.

At those words, Tines and Helen, who had come with Yuina, became angry.

How do you see yourself eating it all? We should share.

Share it equally. Im counting now, so no tricks.

It was then, Annabelle appeared in the garden with a large box.

Hello. Welcome.

She put the box on the table in the center and smiled shyly.

I should have greeted you at the front door, but Im sorry Im a little late. My mother sent a commemorative gift from her dressing room, and it had just arrived

Commemorativegift?

Yes

Annabelle smiled as if embarrassed.

She didnt know what you would like, so she prepared each type Take a look and take what you like.

The box was full of ribbons, hairpins, corsages and brooches.

It was made, picked, and sent by Marilyn in her dressing room this morning.

Oh my, theyre so pretty

Can we really take it?

Even each piece of jewelry had a small tag attached to it with a clothespin, which read: Annabelles first tea time was engraved. It was literally a souvenir. (pr/n: ajdjhf why are her parents so cute)

Yes My parents prepared a little too much for today

Among the many things she hadnt enjoyed in her 22 years, was having fun chatting and interacting with people around her age.

So Oscar and Marilyn were prepared as if they had entered an emergency as soon as Annabelles tea time was set.

It was then. A servant rushed into the garden.

Annabelle! The present has now arrived from the Duke of Wade.

Present?

Another large gift box arrived behind the servant.

A present from the Duke of Wade, which Annabelle had not expected in the least.

Uh, um This

After opening her box, Annabelle swallowed a dismayed laugh.

It said, Congratulations on your first tea time with your peers. If you feel embarrassed because you dont have anything to say on the way, please refer to this manual and have a good time.

The box contained four sets of sword sharpening tools with the words Welcome to the first tea time with Annabelle engraved.

There was even a handwritten manual on how to sharpen a sword.

From ancient sword grooming records to recent archival theories, it was also long.

They were all knights, so he seemed to think that she could have an interesting conversation about sword management.

Usually speaking with the same interests is the first step to making ordinary friends.

Annabelle knew very well that she had lived as a villain for so long that she had never made ordinary friends.

So it was true that she was a little nervous.

But the reason why the people around her were making such a fuss at her teatime

Annabelle quickly admitted that they had already ruined her mediocre tea time.

This was a joke for anyone to see.

Its true that I dont know, but Im pretty sure this isnt the usual way to make friends.

Seeing Yuinas group with a bewildered expression on their faces, it seemed wrong to accept her as even if you dont know me well, were just like normal people of the same age.

It cant be helped that this has happened. Its just ruined, so lets have fun.

Last night, she decided to throw away all the greetings she practiced with Cessianne.

Annabelle said as she turned the set of sword sharpeners, she said in a way that she would go through.

I know its ridiculous, but I wont help you with this and that by telling you to eat this and that, so enjoy yourself. Its hard to put a blank sheet together, right?

Then Annabelles first tea time, which was full of ups and downs, came to an end.

~*~

Yes, Annabelle.

After teatime was over and Yuina and her party had all left, Annabelle had to face her familys hopeful eyes.

Did everyone have a good time?

Will they be back again? Didnt they say theyre waiting for the next invitation?

Oscar and Marilyn poured out a series of questions.

I just went to work in the dressing room I regretted it all day. As a commemoration of coming to my daughters first teatime, Ill even match the clothes.

Marilyn sighed and clicked her tongue, and Aaron rolled his eyes and added a word.

Didnt they say they would be Annabelles friend? I think it could be because of fathers tea food or because of mothers gift, but

Aaron clicked his tongue as he looked at the sword grooming set in front of Annabelle.

It would be a bit sad if it was because of Ians souvenir. Its only because my sisters first friends are such boring people Even the knights can only talk about swords for so long

Annabelle sighed once in front of her family and answered seriously.

Everyone had a lot of fun. Next time, we decided to meet at Yuinas house. And

And?

The tea food was fantastic and the souvenirs were very good, but most of all, they enjoyed talking with me, so well see each other again.

There was a moment of silence between Oscar, Marilyn, and Aaron.

Thank you so much for preparing all of this, but I think my charm was more impressive.

Annabelle smiled brightly and hugged Oscar and Marilyn tightly.

So you dont have to worry that Im still going to be away among my peers. I dont want you to worry anymore.

It was an unusual afternoon, which could not be called an ordinary teatime, but Annabelle was proud of it.

It was because it was the day she realized that she confirmed the love of her family and lover, and that she could have enough fun with her peers without even trying.

However, she decided to keep one secret from Ian.

Everyone asked only about our love story, and no one was interested in how to sharpen a sword Is it a thing of the past that Ian has common sense?

Still, Annabelle decided to keep the manual that Ian had written down in her drawer.

In fact, it was because the history of how to sharpen a sword was a bit interesting.
