3 Why is the tea pink?

Regina faced the window with a beautiful smile on her face then ignored her knight's existence as the carriage journey began. He followed sat across from her with his eyes closed, if you hadn't seen his eyes sneak a glance at Regina a few times you'd think he was sleeping . Regina didn't really care about what he did as she kept herself busy by the fascinating scenes outside her window.

She had never scene such clear landscapes in her past life. She lived in a city, at the inner suburbs. And she always adored the idea of a vast land with just you alone with the wind.

The carriage drive was slow and boring, and Regina couldn't help feel like going on horseback was a better idea, or going with a car would have been the best idea, but this world had no cars. Sh sighed, she couldn't ride a horse as well. She sighed once more as the village came into view. This place was like medieval times, not a single drop of technology could be found anywhere. She already felt pain, there was a possibility she would never use a phone again!

She sulked in the carriage and Alein stared at Regina getting confused with all her mood changes. Was She alright in the head? He didn't question her and they soon found themselves at the centre of the village.

They were soon brought to an old large mansion at the edge of the city. It wasn't as big as her new home but it was still fairly big. Regina asked the maid to buy her some paper and a quil. Regina took her time to explore the inside. The front hall was large and had enough space to be a reception. She smiled as she looked around, ideas running around in her mind. She was a merchant by nature so naturally various ways to earn money popped into her head from time to time. She toured the mansion and found her way to the back.

There was a beautiful green house at the back, it was extremely large, and was well cared for. Regina felt satisfied with this building and examined the second one in the same way. Both were equally beautiful and useful, she wondered which one would become the restaurant?

Alein just quietly followed his mistress as she walked around. He didn't utter a word, he didn't need to anyway. Regina as too busy examining the place to pay any attention to him, for the first time in a while he felt.... left out. He shook his head dispelling his emotions. Left out? A knight like him? You're joking right?

Alein watched over her as the paper was brought to her and she started to right down a few things. The she gave the paper to a guard, " return to the manor and hand this over to uncle." The guard nodded and left swiftly without questioning the mistress, if her uncle did everything she wrote down then by the next day she should be meeting her new employees. Her thoughts were interrupted by a low grumbling sound. She was hungry.

Regina returned to the carriage and caught the drivers attention. " Where is the closest place to eat?"

"The Lure cafe is nearby miss" he said gently bowing his head so he didn't seem disrespectful, he had heard that the miss was a woman of little words and she could sound calm but she would be hiding anger underneath her calm demeanour.

"I see, take me there" the driver obeyed her, since the mistress fell her abusive personality seemed to be hidden away, she hadn't punished anyone yet and he wasn't willing to be the first person to be punished by her.But he found it odd she would willingly agree to go to the Lure Cafe, the young miss definitely didn't enjoy going to the Lure cafe because she knew that the young miss from the second branch enjoyed going there. He didn't ask her however as he wasn't ready to hand over his life.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the cafe, Regina smiled as she thought of all the delicious food that she would have, in her past life she was a lover of good food, but she wasn't gluttonous. In her heart she urged the driver to go faster but she didn't say anything, it was embarrassing if people knew that she loved food this much. She was now the refined miss of the Regilor family and she had to act the part.

No matter how hungry she was and how much she was looking forward to the kind of foods the world had to offer, she would sit still with a calm smile on her face. Time seemed to crawl by as they made their way to the lure cafe, as she arrived she was led to a balcony. Below the balcony was a scene of a beautiful flower garden. She wasn't fond of flowers because she often thought they smelt icky and attracted annoying insects, not only that, she was allergic to pollen. Once in her past life her best friends brought her flowers. He had such a big smile on his face that she couldn't throw it away, so she kept it and the next day her eyes were swollen and full of tears and her nose was runny.

However, despite all her past grievances, she seemed to be briefly enchanted by them, they were all colours ranging form blue to grey, it gave her a refreshing feeling that she didn't feel as often as she would like. A maid approached her to take her order, Regina just smiled, "your finest tea in your finest tea set." Regina didn't know how the tea here tasted so she assumed the finest tea would naturally be the best. Boy was she wrong.

Soon enough a beautiful purple tea set was brought to her and some tea was poured out for her. As soon as she saw the pink looking water in the cup she really didn't have any appetite to eat. Why was the tea pink!? what was inside it? She hesitantly sipped a bit of the tea and felt the urge to vomit. There was no sugar or milk, just flower petals floating around in the hot water. The worst tea she had drank in all her fifteen years of living!

She needed to open her shops as quickly as possible, how was something like this the finest tea? why did people even drink this stuff? She frowned and pushed away the tea cup and prepared to leave when two figures came in through the door. The second prince and her cousin Isabella Mandrie from the side branch of the Regilor family.
