Authors note: " I would like to more the King Shine shares the same name with the god of Light.. Its totally normal for different people to have the same names, it's sure not because I forgot that I named the god of light Shine in the first place or anything" 

Also enjoy todays chapters.. 
I've been wanting to write them in a looooong time.

The conference room at the temple

At an empty room with a round table sat Sapphire, Skadi, Jeanne and Honey

Behind them was Realta..

He was here to help represent the Leviathan Kingdom, he was a little surprised when he met Honey but they were both delighted an  ended up chatting our waiting time away, Eresh was busy so she couldn't come.

It was decided that all the races will enter the room being escorted by their gods, apparently it wasn't known to all that the kings met yesterday and already got along.


And from in hallways from different entrances, walked several Groups.

______________________________________________

The elves:

Seid: "oh so you met already..

That's good, can I skip the treaty signing then?"

Daren: "NOOO"

Emel: "we need you with us, the other gods might not support this treaty like you"

Lapis: " I SWEAR IF WE WENT TO WAR WITH SAPPHIRE I'LL FIRE THAT SKEWER CHEFF"

Seid: "THAT IS WAY TOO CRUEL!!!"

______________________________________________

The Dwarfs:

Crua: "are you sure about this Gazef?"

Gazef: "yes Crua, I have no doubts"

Crua: "that's odd, naturally you're more thick headed than me, what got you so convinced on the treaty?"

Gazef: "...."

Gazef couldn't tell Crua about Hadrick, Crua always found Hadrick shenanigans amusing, if he learns that Hadrick is at the Demon continent he might ask for him back.

Gazef: " I guess I'm just too old to start wars"

Crua: "if you say so"

______________________________________________

Shine(god): "listen Tigarios, I know you're always attracted to war but this is a Treaty signing, you should be on your best behavior and not mention fighting"

Tigarios: " of course god Shine"

Shine(god) : " I know you don't like that bu-...

What did say?"

Tigarios: " I will not start a war, this is a treaty signing and a very good occasion"

Shine(god) : "...."

Tigarios never liked it when Shine talks to him about peace and always complains...

Of course Shine didn't know that Tigarios's teacher is coming to this signing so he's on his best behavior...

The Dragons:

Teas: "will we really not fight?"

Emerald: " I already promised Skadi so no"

Teas: "but it's a Demon Lord, I always wanted to fight one of those at least once"

Emerald: "can't be helped"

Teas: " I GOT AN IDEA"

Emerald: "what?"

Teas: "let's sign a peace treaty, then Declare a peace FIGHT"

Emerald: "...."

Teas: "...."

Emerald: "...."

Pearla:  " Are you alright Shelly?"

Shelly: "I'm in perfect condition my goddess"

Pearla had brought her highest temple maiden Shelly with her.

Merpeople can spend time out of water as long as they are well Hydrated, and Pearla gave Shelly a blessing so that she doesn't go dry.


______________________________________________

All these people got almost at the same time to the Room...

First the god of wind.

Seid: "hey Sapphire, how's things going?"

Sapphire: "there quite well"

Seid: "I tried the sauce on the Skewers, they really improved, I have them daily now, of course if this treaty doesn't work, Lapis will cut me off"

Sapphire: "don't worry, I got a plan,
Alein's vein will pop out for sure"

Seid: "hehe, just be careful, she's not as calm as she looks"

Sapphire: "She can be calm? I never knew"

Crua: "it happens at least once in a full moon"

Sapphire: "!!!"

A large built muscled brown man with brown hair and brown eyes, Sapphire can tell from just looking at him who he is.

Crua: " Crua, god of earth at your service"

(SOOO BIGGG)

Sapphire expected the Dwarfs god, to be short, but this guy looks like he can stump a mountain.

I remember Realta said that I should be careful from fighting him, really even with my full power as a Demon Lord I feel that if I went against him in a fist fight I'll lose.

Sapphire: "King Sapphire, it's my pleasure to meet you"

Crua: "No need to be so formal, thanks for taking care of that Funny Dwarf Hadrick"

Gazef: "!!!"

Crua: "HEHEHEH YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT I DIDN'T KNEW

I got curious about his whereabouts a few months ago so I looked for him, he's technically a royal member after all, even if by marriage"

Sapphire: "you're close to Hadrick?"

Crua: "we haven't really talked much, but whenever I'm bored I just check what he's up to, usually it would give me a laugh for a couple of weeks.

Hehe I remember when he caused that flood..


From where did he get all that water I still don't know.


It was dehydration season and the dwarfen kingdom doesn't have a sea or a lake beside it.

HEHEHEH PRICELESS. "

Gazef: "... "

(HAVE SOME HEART FOR YOUR PEOPLE DAMMIT)

Teas:" I

Teas:" I said

Realta: "hi Teas"

Teas: " Dammit Realta you ruined my grand entrance"

Realta: "You ruined it yourself"

A slender muscular women with red eyes, and red hair, if I didn't know who she is, I'd think she's a demon.

She's wearing a beach skirt and a swimsuit like bra...

Teas: "Yo you're the Demon Lord"

Sapphire: " um... Yes"

Teas: "Good come on let's have a fist fight"

Sapphire: "what?"

Crua: "no fair Teas I had dibbs"

Teas: "sorry I beat you to it"

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

Shine: "YOU BOTH DIAL IT DOWN"

Teas: "Owww"

Crua: "take it easy Shine"

Shine: " I would if you just took it easy as well *sigh*"


An old man clad in white, with a long smooth white beard and a white staff.

Shine(god) : "Pleasure to meet you I'm shine, I apologize for my little siblings... They can be a little... Well just look at their elements and you'll understand..."

Sapphire: "Pleasure to meet you as well, I'm Sapphire, And don't worry about it, I have muscle headed people on my side as well"

Shine(god) : "*nod*"

Pearla: "oh... Everyone is here already" 

Skadi: "well everyone that matters, you're late you clam" 

Pearla: "don't be so mean Skadi, I'm busy you know

This must be the demon king, a pleasure to meet you" 

A blue short haired blue eyed tanned Beauty, she's wearing a blue skirt swimsuit. 

Sapphire: "the pleasure is mine" 


Now all the gods and kings have gathered...

All except one...

Where is the goddess of life and king shine?

______________________________________________

Meanwhile the reason of the delay is because the king had to regroup with the goddess and the head priest.

Shine(king) : "you're late you old rag"

Sagart: "haha sorry I had a meeting with the goddess"

The head priest Sagart and his daughter Merry had just arrived to meet the king and his daughter.

Angel: "*munch* *munch*"

Sagart: " I see your daughter is as glutoness as ever hehe"

Shine(king): "and I see you brought your daughter with you as well, tell me sweety is your dad still the goddesses little lap dog"

Merry: " he's a chihuahua a this point"

Sagart: "EHEM"

Alein: " that would be enough" 

"""!!!"""

Alein: "children please act in a dignified manner when you enter the room" 

Sagart: "YES OF COURSE MY GODDESS" 

Alein: "you too shine" 

Shine: "yes goddess" 

Alein: "Sagart.. Merry.. Do you remember what we discussed" 

Sagart: "word by word" 

Merry: "&#$&# YOU &#$&#&" 

"" "" "".... "" "" "" 

Alein: " *sigh* I understand that you can't hold yourself from say how you feel but at least you can control what words do you voice and what words to keep in, when we get in there just say <it's a lie> whenever the Demon King lies and <He's saying the truth> when he's honest. "

Merry: "...."

The reason no one commented on Merry's attitude towards the goddess is because it's a usual occurrence whenever these two meet. 

For a ferry simple reason. 

Merry is blessed... 

With the ability to discern lies... 

But unlike the Elven princess who got this gift naturally from birth, Merry was blessed by the goddess when she was still a baby... 

And just like other blessings, this one have one heck of a side effect... 

Merry can see throw lies, but as a demerit she can't lie... Ever... Her entire life span.. 

This caused her to be alienated by other people, because even if they don't lie, Merry will end up saying something offensive and they'll leave her alone.. 

And because of that Merry never even pretended to like Alein... 

The plan this time is simple, the head priest and the goddess will ask the Demon King questions that would reveal his true intentions, and after that comes out, she'll team with the other gods against him, even if they don't involve themselves if an enemy did happen to be before them they'll attack him, even if it was on a whim... 

Merry is well known in the temple and even between the other races, the kings won't doubt anything she says... 

Alein: "everyone be ready, we're about to go in" 

With that the rooms door opened.

Stop depending on fat burner foods or slimming teas. 


There is no shortcut or quick fix to lose weight, there is nothing like fat burner food please, you cannot just go and eat all the kind of food that you desired, nutritional or not nutritional and take any fat burner and expect to lose weight, weight loss is not like that, keep this in mind that weight loss is not a MIRACLE. Weight loss is so much more than that, it requires a lot of hard work to lose weight and maintain.
There are many varieties of slimming teas to choose, all of them try to satisfy a person's desire to lose weight. There is little to no legitimate evidence that any slimming tea is effective in supporting long-term weight loss.

Sometimes slimming teas are closely regarded as a money-making machine, because by drinking slimming teas, you are not only putting your health at risk due to the side effects of most of the slimming teas but you will only lose water weight if at all the slimming tea will work for you, and it is not a lie that most slimming teas only work with a diet, and if this is the case why don't you focus only on the diet itself to lose all the weight that you want without putting your health at risk?

It's a book on how to lose weight naturally.

It's all about the new weight loss system.

I really hope that you will be able to achieve your weight loss goals one day, by following this book.

It's more of a weight loss education book.

Let's see who will follow us, who will leave and who will join along the way.


With daily or weekly updates.

I definitely get my rabbit hole obsession trait from my father. The man may not have liked Lee at first but he introduced him to tea so now they are practically family.


He desperately wants to go to Vietnam and see the tea farms but he also knows the war would not make that the wisest decision.


Did that stop him from looking into other options? Of course not.


He started ordering teas from all over the world. He was proudly buying exotic teas from the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, India and sharing it with anyone he could. He bought a magazine subscription for tea lovers to be shipped to his door so he could order exotic teas from the phone. He even bought a special tea pantry. 


When my dad brought home the big tea pantry, Lee's exact response was "What have I done?" 


He obviously did not know this would happen but I know how my dad acts. When he decides he likes something, he will obsess over it.


My father is still obsessed with Japanese sake from his time in WW2. He swore it was the only drink that didn't give him a hangover. I tried it. To me it tastes like how nail polish remover smells but my dad swears that my taste buds will change. 


My father loves guns, sake, books, foreign currency (do NOT ask to see his penny collection. Just. Don't) and now tea apparently. 


My father was at first ordering teas from East Asia, Eurasia, and the Middle East but then he realized he couldn't go there with communism growing and travel restrictions, so he started branching out into more European stuff.


He tried English teas but apparently the flavor bored him. He said "no wonder they eat so many pastries with it. It is to mask the taste of this swamp water." 


Then dumped out his glass and Lee made a face that clearly said "That was so mean and yet so accurate." 


Then my mom chimed in with "Fine. More swamp water for me."


Nothing compared to my father's reaction to discovering Portuguese cha tea for the first time.


He was flipping through the pages of his magazine and ordering teas from this month's magazine. One of them was cha tea from Portugal. 


When he bought the tea it came with a little information packet on how to brew and drink it. He then learned it was typically drank with milk like coffee. We are all sitting at the dining table while my father reads the packet to us. My mom stands up and makes us each a cup. She places it in front of us. We all take a sip. It was creamy, spicy, sweet, and down right amazing. I made a satisfied sigh and automatically sank down in the dining chair further.


My father did the same and said "This drink is a gift from God." 


My father did some research and learned there are no travel restrictions to Portugal. He practically did a happy dance walking in the door to tell us where we are going for the family vacation. Now he is planning a big trip through a travel agency to explore Sao Miguel Island to explore the tea farm with a mountain view. Lee of course was invited to join us because that is just the type of person my father is and I think he secretly wants Lee to be his son in-law or something. Maybe it was the "When you 2 get married comments" that gave it away. Lee and I both laughed at that be there was absolutely no chance of that happening

Set in the last few years of the Vietnam was, slightly antisocial and unrelatable Stacie loses her dog to cancer and it sends her into a state of mourning that summons a devil. He is not allowed to leave until she makes a deal with him but she will never do that. She is sassy, blunt, asexual, and has no desire for power or fame. Sometimes your lack of desire can be exactly why you end up where you don't want to be.

Song Tianqin had people test whether or not these milk teas were really low calorie, as Xia Xibei had said.
The result surprised him, because Xia Xibei was correct!
So he had invited Xia Xibei over.
"I believe you have already checked the milk tea that was brought back yesterday." Xia Xibei looked at Song Tianqin with a smile.
"Yes," Song Tianqin nodded, "These milk teas are, in fact, low calorie. Can I ask how they are made?"
Even if they had not been exposed to milk teas, who didn't know that milk tea was high in calories?
"Jia Jia may have already told you that a lot of herbs have been added to it."
Song Tianqin was even more puzzled. 
"Just with the addition of herbs? But there is no medicinal taste to it."
"That is the secret recipe," Xia Xibei said, smiling confidently. "If we collaborate, I will show you the formula."
Of course, if they didn't collaborate, there was no need to show the formula.
Song Tianqin understood this. He then asked, "I heard Jia Jia say that you only want 50% of the shares?"
"Yes," Xia Xibei nodded. "After all, I'm just a student, and I usually have a lot of things to do. Even if we collaborated, I can't do too much. The 50% shares are considered the benefits of the formula."
Song Tianqin's gaze was unfathomable. "You are not afraid that once we have made money, we will kick you out?"
"Dad!" 
Song Jiaren, who was sitting next to them, sounded unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xibei laughed.
"It seems that Uncle is quite confident in this business and thinks it can make a lot of money." She smiled brightly. "If the partnership was really broken up, it won't be a problem. After all, if I have this formula, naturally I can make more."
"Oh?" Song Tianqin's eyes lit up, "So you have more ideas?"
"Of course. You may have heard about my story from Jia Jia. I believe that my medical skills are decent. These milk teas are just the beginning, so people won't get fat after drinking them. I will then introduce a milk tea that can help people lose weight after drinking it."
These words made everyone in the Song family widen their eyes. 
Milk tea for weight loss? Was she joking?
Milk tea was always fattening! How could it make people lose weight?
Xia Xibei's smile deepened as she continued, "Of course, since I dare say this, I am sure about it."
Moreover, there were some things she didn't say.
Selling milk tea was just for early capital accumulation. She had more ideas and plans for the future stages.
Song Tianqin stared at Xia Xibei with an intense gaze for a while, before suddenly smiling.
"Wow, it's awesome to be young!"
He had asked people to check Xia Xibei's background, and it was obvious that she was a poor kid who was not loved by her parents. How could she have such a talent?
But he also understood that there were many things in this world that could not be explained by common sense. As long as Xia Xibei was not mean-hearted and wouldn't harm Song Jiaren, he didn't need to know everything.
He began laughing, adding on, "Great! Now we can talk about what comes next."
Xia Xibei was overjoyed, but her face remained unchanged. "Okay, then I will get help from you, Uncle."
When Song Jiaren, who sat on the side and saw the decision being made after a quick discussion, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
This was decided just like that?
Fang Yongxin glanced at her daughter in disdain, then said with a smile on her face, "Since we are so happy here, I will cook. Let's celebrate properly!"
"Thank you, Aunt Xin. Your cooking must be great!"
"You're welcome!" Fang Yongxin smiled from ear to ear. "Come here often in the future. Aunt Xin likes great girls like you!"
　　


In her former life, she was robbed of her status, her looks, and her reputation.
Reborn, she is now a top scholar, and queen of the entertainment world. She will teach the fake girls a lesson and show the creeps how to really live life!

So this glazed sphere with a pale blue hue was the reason why Jon came here from Earth. Apart from being amazed, Angor also felt curious and confused. 
It was only natural that he felt this way when facing such an extraordinary artifact. His teacher wouldn't be in this situation if not for this. He would be enjoying his life back with his wife and daughter. 
Apart from this though, there was a voice, secretly whispering into Angor's mind: The glazed sphere was also the reason why he could meet an erudite figure like Teacher in the first place. Without Teacher, maybe he would have become a spoiled playboy who would live a boring life forever, never to know about anything in this world.
Of course, Jon couldn't read Angor's mind. He only fiddled around with the sphere in his palm, then stretched out his mostly-wilted hand to put the sphere into Angor's.
"I already threw it away, and I'll keep it that way. Since you brought it back, it's probably destined to be with you. Keep the Alien Eye… I don't have much time left, but you're still young. Maybe you will find a chance to visit the Earth," Jon shook his head with a smile. He didn't even believe himself, yet he still insisted. "If you truly did, please bring my ashes back to China and bury them under that old mistletoe tree in my home, just along the lower reaches of Yangtze River…"
…
The mist was thick this evening. Angor held his chin and stayed beside Jon until the old man was asleep. Then, Angor left while rubbing his sore arms.
Teacher's body was constantly failing, and nobody knew how long before he would… Despite Angor's will, if Teacher said that Gaia's Consciousness would not spare him, then there was nothing Angor could do. Well, maybe just one: he would stay at Teacher's side, happily, and fulfill his duty as a pupil and child during Jon's last moment.
When Angor stepped out of the yard, the moonlight was shining upon the earth. He was wearing a down cape with his family emblem embroidered on it, over his thin coat. His shadow dragged long under the moon. His lonely figure trod towards the castle in the center of the manor.
In the hall of the castle, a team of female dancers wearing elegant attires held the tips of their dresses and circled around to the musician's melody. The maids lit the valuable candles made from deep-sea fish oil one by one, illuminating the hall with artificial daylight.
Tasty smells filled the hall: wine, cream cheese, and the mild sweetness of flowers and tea.
This joyful scene was what Angor saw when he entered the castle.
Leon was standing in the middle of a crowd, with his glass of red wine in hand, talking to several strangers cheerfully.
Those must be the people from the Morn Family.
As Angor quietly inspected the visitors, Leon saw him and happily dragged him into the crowd for introduction.
The one standing in the front was a middle-aged man wearing a gentlemanly costume. He had verdant-green eyes, deep brown hair, and distinctive facial features with a sharp look like an unsheathed sword.
"Just in time Angor! This is Count Eton from the Morn Family, who's been defending the front lines," Leon introduced.
Angor greeted him in a natural manner. The etiquette for nobles was already carved deep inside him, and he performed perfectly like a noble.
"These are Alan and Aleen, son and daughter of Count Eton."
Alan was about the age of 14, similar to Angor himself. His facial features hadn't fully grown, tand his chubby look was quite adorable. He inherited his father's green eyes and brown hair, although the hairs had unfettered twists and curls in them, giving the boy a childish look.
Despite being the younger sister, Aleen looked more mature than Alan. She already had feminine curves around her body, accompanied by the long, elegant noble dress, she appeared like a little princess who was just about to step into adulthood, carrying the particular attractiveness of a young woman.
At the same time, everyone else was measuring Angor as well.
Angor was a beautiful boy by empire standard - blonde hair, blue eyes, clean, white, yet healthy skin. Every part on his face was perfect, and they were only more outstanding when put together. The flawless look already had an effect. When Angor smiled towards the brother and sister out of courtesy, Aleen immediately blushed and hid herself behind Alan, pretending to be fetching a dish.
The little cutie!
Eton silently laughed. Nevertheless, he was a bit surprised by Angor's appearance. Old Padt had a really plain look, yet he gave birth to two handsome sons, between whom he really couldn't pick a winner.
After many words of praise, Leon noticed that Eton kept glancing in another direction, so he said, "This is a tea party after all, so enough of the wine. Let's enjoy some tea."
With that, Leon clapped his hands to stop the dancers and led everyone to their respective seats in the tearoom. 
Suddenly, the gate of the hall clicked and was slowly pushed open.
It was raining outside, and this was when everyone finally realized the weather.
A mysterious figure cloaked under a black robe slowly walked inside.
Leon frowned. "I'm sorry, you are…?"
Before he could finish, Count Eton, Alan and Aleen rushed to the figure's side with respect.
"Viscount Padt, this is my father, Mara Morn," Eton introduced, "Father loves teas with weak tastes. He came with us when he heard that a special tea was to be served. He was occupied by something along the road, that's why he just arrived."
Leon acknowledged with an "Oh!", then walked up and greeted the elder member of the Morn Family with even greater passion.
Angor however, kept his focus on Mara's shoes and twitched his eyebrows. Those were soft chamois leather shoes, with wet dirt hanging around the edges. What attracted Angor was the faint red color of the dirt.
Most dirt in Grue Town was yellow loess or black soil. There was only one place where red dirt could be found within an area of fifty kilometers… the Padt's Tea Garden.
This man was so interested in the tea garden that he even went there in the rain?
Mara must be the one asking about the Morning Dew, though Angor still didn't know what was so special about the tea. It was bitter, and followed by a tiny bit of sweetness long afterward. Mara was the only one showing interest in it apart from Teacher.
Angor did not tell this to anyone. He only showed a somewhat stiff expression. The Morns were way too powerful, and his own little countryside noble family would have zero chance against them. He could only hope that today's tea party would satisfy them.
With hood removed, Mara just looked like an ordinary old man. Long, white beard, squinted eyes because of his smile, and a trace of elderly benevolence.
Leon ordered Head Maid Mana to serve all the pastries prepared today. Beside them sat several delicate porcelain teapots with carvings on them.
"These teapots hold every type of tea grown in our manor."
As Leon introduced the teas, Mana opened their respective lids.
When the first pot was opened, light vapor rose up, bringing a rich, fragrant smell of flowers.
"This is Icy Honeydew. The leaves were the petals of Honeymoon Trees unique to the Padt Manor. This was brewed using the melted snow on the snow mountain instead of milk. Sweet but not too sweet. It sends a chill into your brain," Leon sighed. "It's a pity that a long winter has come. It should make you feel comfortable during the intense summer."
The Morns gave it a taste. Aleen was the only one who actually liked it and drank some more, while all the others only had a tiny sip, except for Mara though, who only smelled it before putting it aside.
The second pot contained milk tea. This one had a more distinctive taste which was quite different from the famous teas around the empire.
"This is called the Lemon Milk Tea, brewed from a sour fruit called the Summer Lemon, added with some mint leaves," then he pointed at Angor. "It's my brother's favorite. He drinks several glasses every day, while trying to hide it from everyone. Ha!"
Angor "glared" at Leon with his mind, but kept his smile on the outside.
"Mister Padt likes it?" Aleen beamed with delight, took a porcelain cup from Mana and took a big gulp.
Milk skin lingered on her lip. Aleen closed her eyes and pondered over the sweet yet sour aftertaste of milk. Brilliant!
"This is nice!" Aleen commented aloud, "I like it better than that flower tea."
Hearing this, Alan also took a cup and downed it in one go. He smacked his lips, eyes squinted into slits, and nodded in satisfaction. He agreed with his sister's taste, aloud.
Count Eton looked at his children and only chuckled. He didn't drink the milk tea, for he already caught the meaning hidden between Leon's words - this tea was obviously meant for Alan and Aleen.
It seemed that Mara also had a deep love for his grandchildren. He pushed his share of milk tea straight in front of Aleen.
Next, Mana opened several pots in succession. Most of them had milk teas and flower teas in them, about which Mara didn't care much. He only sipped two types of green teas which were also favored by Jon. Though he was still somewhat indifferent about them.
Angor cast his eyes on the last teapot, which held the last of the three teas most loved by Jon, and the only tea plant he brought from the Earth - the Morning Dew.


A young traveler who receives enlightenment from another civilization is on a mission to save his beloved mentor. In his journey to seek the ultimate truth, he travels extensively and along the way, he experiences some unpredictable encounters. Will he be able to save his mentor or will his path be derailed?

Yu Sha understood that not all needs can be met at once. She thanked the founders for its dedication to help people and bid her farewell.
While in the car, she was in deep thought about the whole situation. She didn't move at all, like a robot looking through the window with a stoic expression. What ran through her mind, only she knew.
At Ether hotel, Yu Sha made her way up to the penthouse followed by the bodyguard.
By this time, it was late morning, almost noon. After lunch, she was to go back to the cruise and catch up with Su Na before Su Na called her. No contacts from Yu Sha after a few days are always a bad omen for Su Na. Her worries are not so much in that Yu Sha might be in danger but more so that that other people's lives could be in danger. Yu Sha has a tendency to be a little rough and get in trouble when she encountered ignorant people. 
Before the penthouse door, Tsong reported. "Miss Yu Sha, Prince Hue Chi will be back in an hour."
Yu Sha nodded and went inside. She had time to bathe and get ready. Upon entering her room, she changed and headed straight to the bathtub and took a bath. She was in the bath for a good while before getting out to blow dry her hairs and then threw on a bathrobe.
After having been in the hot bath for a while, her throat felt dry and since yesterday afternoon, she had not had a proper meal. Yu Sha poured herself some water and quickly gulped down the water but felt it wasn't enough to replenish her mind. She decided that she would make some tea and proceeded to search for tea cans. Refreshing teas can help revive one's energy and was also medicinal to the body.
Yu Sha searched through the drawers first and then the cabinets. To get a better view of all the different shelves, she leaped on the counter so her head could be at the cabinet's level. Being short could be challenging sometimes. She knelt on her knees while moving things around in the cabinet shelves. Just then, the main door beeped opened and Hue Chi walked in to see Yu Sha kneeling on the counter in her bathrobes.
"What are you doing?"
She paused to meet him and replied, "Looking for teas. Aren't you a little early?" 
"They are not up there. And I finished a little early." He walked to the kitchen. Next to the stove, he opened the cabinet door and took a tin can from the cabinet next to the stove. 
Yu Sha was lost for words about how he knew where it was. She started at the cabinet closest to her. The kitchen was so big with many drawers and cabinet, so she had just looked through the first two cabinets.
"I haven't had the chance to get over there yet." She jumped down from the cabinet and walked over to Hue Chi. 
She took the can from him and then searched for a cup in the dishwasher. She scooped a teaspoon into the cup before Hue Chi interrupted.
"What are you doing?"
She gave him a blank look and commented, "Can't you tell? I'm making some tea." 'He was a prince. He probably never seen someone make tea before?'
He continued to stare at her lost. "With what?" One need hot boiling water to make tea. She hasn't boiled water, was she going to do that after?
Yu Sha saw his lost expression, "This cup and hot water from the coffee maker?"
Although, Hue Chi has never made tea, he saw the women around him made teas so he at least knew the proper way to make it. He chimed. "Um.. I don't think that's how you make tea."
Yu Sha looked at Hue Chi and smiled, "This is how I make it. It's just the teas I made are always prepacked. I seeped the tea bag into some hot water."
Hue Chi has never drank prepacked tea. His teas were often made differently from the best quality and made by the people who served him. Although he never personally brewed tea before, from the look of it, he might probably be more knowledgeable than Yu Sha. He walked to the drawer and took out a pot, added water into the pot and turned on the stove.
Yu Sha looked at him feeling a little surprised. "Are you going to make some tea?"
"Hmm… The way you planned to make this tea will not do justice to the tea. The coffee maker's preheated water is not hot enough to bring out the taste of the tea."
Yu Sha felt surprised that a prince knew how to make tea or maybe he was just picky about the quality taste of the tea if not brewed properly? "I'm not picky."
He looked at her unconvinced at the comment, "not picky." He had a feeling she could be one picky person with certain things.
Seeing how he looked at her, she added, "I'm serious. I know how to make tea. It's just that I've always had instant prepacked tea in the past and this is how I usually make them."
"I didn't think you would be back before noon today." Hue Chi commented before going around the corner to the living area and dropped off his briefcase in the office.
Yu Sha hastily followed behind and almost bumped into Hue Chi when he turned around after putting his briefcase gently on the desk.
They looked like a married couple, where the husband had just came home from a long day of work and the wife was a homemaker.
He stood still looking at Yu Sha, studying her closely. He had seen the video Tsong sent him, heard her convincing sentences and promises.
She was very admirable, a person who grew in the light doing everything she can to help those in need, even spent time to convince the other person. Few people who grew up having everything would help those in need, stayed with them, and helped straighten things out before leaving.
Noticing that Hue Chi was looking at her weirdly, Yu Sha quickly stepped away feeling a little nervous, "Wh.. what is wrong?" But what she wanted to ask is why are you looking at me weirdly?

Yu Sha was born prematurely and her heart wasn’t fully closed. The first several years of her life, were often spent in the hospital undergoing procedures. But she did not let her condition defined who she is. She worked hard and excelled in sports and PE class. 

Su Na’s mother had gone through a traumatic experience which caused her to be frequently hospitalized. As long as she could remember, she never had a father. It wasn’t until later she learned the ugly truth and make it her life long mission to build her own empire in order to crush the person who made her mother suffered. 

The hospital was where they met and became good friends. They attended the same classes and schools. Upon graduating early, they embarked on a journey to stardom to build Su Na’s empire. 


Hue Chi, Prince of Aires, had everything anyone could dream of but carried an illness to himself. The woman that haunted him in his sleep, who was she? How was she able to control his emotions, waking him up in the middle of the night, sometimes, in terror, in pain, and sometimes in happiness? The emotions she elicits locked his heart cold, unable to like any other woman, thus distancing himself from others. People are scared to approach him due to the distant and icy auras around him. 

Just as the universe planned it, Yu Sha and Su Na won their bid on a project in Aires, which will require them to live in Aires for at least half a year. As Prince of an entire continent, he felt unsettled of two young female prodigies. Do they come with hidden motives? Not sure if they have anything to do with the secret organization he has been after, he ordered them to fly into Aires for a meet and greet with the investors and other companies involved in the project. 

Unforeseen in his calculation, his eyes drifted towards her anytime she was nearby. He reasoned with himself that he just wanted to make sure of her status and purpose, but somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t gravitate away. The way she talked, her behaviors, her voice, and demeanor elicited the same emotions of the woman that haunted him in his dreams. 

Some may think destiny is cruel and some may think that destiny is kind for playing with people’s heart, as it seemed the world was not small enough to allow them to be lovers, but not wide enough so their path will never cross.

After two days. In the City of Firia.
The City of Firia was very big, spacious and it offered all kinds of  shops.
Because of that many people were seen in town like the commoner who went to the marketplace, the children spending their time there or the nobles who went from shop to shop to buy new dresses, accessories or books.
On the Ventburg's carriage sat Verity who wanted to drop by the big new tea shop, Clarissa mentioned as she wanted to look for nice presents for Charlotte.
With her were some Knights who escorted her to the city.
<< Finally we have arrived. The new establish tea shop was really nice to look at. It is so high build, they would have all kinds of tea there. I guess I will be back at dinnertime. >>
'Knights, you can wait outside or you can go and spend your time somewhere else in the city. I will need some time to look around. You are now free to go but please be on time back for I don't want to be late to dinner.'
'Yes, my lady. We will be back on time.'
When she stepped into the building, she was greeted at the reception.
'My lady, What can I do for you?'
'I would like to look at the teas that you have to offer here.'
'Certainly, my lady. We have many teas in our collection here, you are free to explore it. On this floor we stored all various teas in a container, in addition to that we have placed for each teas, teapots for the guests to have a sample. We also have a the second floor, which is a open area where you can taste the tea that you have selected. If you need help, the worker here will gladly assist you. You only need to ask, my lady.'
'Thank you.'
The receptionist went away and Verity went to the cupboards filled with tea leaves, which was very neatly arranged. The tea leaves was very dominant, you could smelled the tea aromas as you opened the lid.
<< I must admit it is the best tea shop I have ever seen, the interior was well decorated. The material is from the best quality even the container for the teas were highly decorated. Overall this shop has a nice ambience and it offered everything for a tea connoisseur to enjoy. It has a very nice concept. No wonder it is very popular by the nobles. I wonder, who this shop belong to. >>
After Verity took some time to browse the teas, she was unaware that somebody had observed her from above the first floor. The second floor was connected by the stairs to the first floor, from there you had an open view to the shop downstairs.
<< Long light wavy silver hair and beautiful clear emerald eyes, it could only belong to a lady from the Ventburg's family. She is the rumored rarely seen first daughter of the duke of the Ventburg's family. >>
His stare followed her which he didn't realize. As he observed how she taste all the samples delightfully.
<< I wonder if you still remember me, Vertity. >>
As he was in thoughts, Verity, who looked upstairs, caught the gaze of a handsome guy leaned against the fence of the stairs. At that moment the guy was taken aback but was still composed, he didn't expect for her to look up in his direction. He continued to look at her face to see her expression.
<<  Who …is the guy? Did he watch me from above all the time? For what reason did he do that?  Silvery hair with sparkling gold eyes, I have never heard about someone who looked like him before. Who is this guy? From afar I could still see that he have a noble demeanor and a cold good-looking face, but it somehow suits him. 
I wonder if he know me. It couldn't be I was never outside, so the only explanation I could think of is that he must have heard about me.
Well, I should not let me get distracted from this guy and make my purchases now. >>
Then she turned her eyes away from him and went to the employees of the tea shop to let them packed her purchases. When she prepared to leave the shop, she asked the shop manager, who the owner of this tea shop was.
'The owner of this newly build shop belongs to the man upstairs, who you have stared at, my lady. Were you not satisfied with our employees or with our products? Please share us your opinion so that we can change that.'
<< What? Did he said the guy from the second floor? Maybe that's why, he stood there to observe his guests to see whether his offered products were well received by the customers or not. >>
'I see, I was only curious because I like this shop very much and there was nothing that I could complain about, I would like to come again, so you don't have to worry.'
'Thank you for your high praise, my lady. Your words would certainly make the owner very happy. We will welcome you anytime.'
With her first purchases Verity started to go to her carriage which stood already outside the entrance with her escorts. At the same time she tried to glance back to see, if the owner was still standing there. To her astonishment he was still looking at her.
'Did he continued to look at me after I averted my eyes from him? Well, I can't do anything about it. It's time to go, I guess. I still need to find something for Charlotte. Maybe a toy or a candy box.'
'My lady, we have already loaded everything on the carriage. We can go now. Where is your next destination?'
'I would like to go to the candy shop now.'
'Yes, my lady.'
Finally arrived at the candy sweet shop, Verity stepped alone into the shop to look. The interior of the shop was very cute girlish decorated, many children stood in front of the candies and hoped that their mother would buy some sweets for them.
Because it was so full of people, she decided to only look at the east side of the shop. There she saw all kinds of candies with different colors, shapes and flavors. It was a very difficult decision, as she pondered what to pick. Suddenly a masculine calm voice rang in her ears.
'Should I choose for you, my lady because you're standing on the same spot for some time already.'
As she turned around to see who was behind her, she was very startled to see that it was the owner from the tea shop. While looking she noticed that he was taller than her as she imagined, she had to look up to see his face.
'Surprise to see me or why are you so silent?'
'Did you follow me?'
'No, I wanted to buy some sweets too.'
'Then why do you asked me if I want you to choose for me?'
'Because I saw how you could not decide what to pick.'
Verity was speechless, she couldn't refute his words. Everything he said sounded plausible.
<< … >>
<< I think …..he is not so bad, he wants only to help me. Why not accept his help. >>
'Fine, then what do recommend, sir?'
'You can call me Cain. Choose everything.'
<< … >>
<< I should not have asked him for advise. What was I thinking? >>
'Well, Cain. Thank you for your advise. I will think about it.'
'Well, you're welcome.'
Verity was dumbfounded, she had never met anyone like him in her life.
<< Maybe I should take a distance from him. It is better to ignore him and pick only three of four kinds of candies for Charlotte. It's the best solution. >>
'Is there something wrong with my recommendation?'
'Why do you ask that?'
'Because you only stare at me after I said you should choose all.'
<< Did he really expect me to buy all the candies here? It's impossible. I have to politely refuse him. >>
'Well, about what you have said, I will consider it. I can't buy everything because my little sister would never finish it all and my mother would definitely scold me. So I think I will only choose three or four of the different flavors.'
'Hmm, then let's choose.'
<< This guy, I don't understand him. >>
'What flavor did you think of?'
<< What flavor? Indeed. hmm, I guess Charlotte doesn't have anything that she dislikes, so anything should be fine. >>
'Maybe the green, orange, pink, purple one.'
'I understand, wait , I will be back.'
<< Where is he going? >>
From afar Verity could see that he was calling for a shop employee to come.
Afterwards the candies was packed and the both of them were going out.
'I would like to thank you, Cain, for your help today.'
'You're welcome, Verity. Here this box is for you, you can opened this when you return.'
'What is in the box?'
'You will see, when you open it. Well, it is time for your return, my lady, before it's getting dark. Farewell.'
Then he walked away, Verity who looked until she could no longer saw him, went into the carriage.
<< He really is a mysterious guy. >>

A beautiful kind girl, called Verity, who belongs to one of the powerful family of the Firia Empire and have endured the cold treatment of her family members.
Without support and doesn’t have anyone to lean on, she had to go through her experiences to find her true magical power and true enemies. 
Where she put her trust on, it depends solely on her decision. 
While passing all the danger, there is always this guy, who can ease her worry and came to her rescue.
Without her knowing she was truly never alone.

The old man drank a mouthful of tea and said calmly, "Heh, letting a youth with emperor surmounting aura owe this old man a big favor, this old man is naturally willing. It's just too bad that this old man's strength falls short of my wishes!"
Ye Yuan had a look of despair. He did not expect that it was actually such a result in the end.
"Pavilion Lord, could it be that … there's no way at all?" Ye Yuan said unwillingly.
The old man passed another cup of tea over and said with a smile, "Slowly drink, don't be in a rush."
Ye Yuan's gaze turned intent, discovering that he somewhat lost composure.
"Thank you, Pavilion Lord!"
He received the tea and took a light sip. A bitter and astringent to the extreme harshness taste instantly filled his mouth.
But very soon, faint sweetness revealed in the bitterness, penetrating into the abdomen, transmitting into all four limbs and the bones.
In an instant, his divine essence seemed to have increased quite a bit.
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up and he praised, "Good tea! Good tea! This junior was a little impulsive, hope that Senior doesn't blame."
That mouthful just now, Ye Yuan did not savor the splendid taste of this spirit tea at all.
Calming down now, he immediately felt the extraordinariness of this tea.
A hint of approval flashed across the old man's eyes, secretly thinking that indeed well-deserving of being a youth who possessed the emperor surmounting aura, calming down so quickly.
The old man smiled and said, "This tea is called Empty Cicada Skydew Tea. One cup can match a peak rank four divine pill. You already ate two just now! If it were others, they would have long had to enter closed-seclusion to refine it. But you didn't have any reaction at all. Indeed worthy of being the emperor surmounting aura!"
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart, not expecting that this tea was actually so precious.
One had to know, ordinary Second Firmament Divine Lord martial artists who consumed a peak rank four divine pills had to enter closed-seclusion for quite a few days too[1].
Consuming two in a row, the meridians within the body would be somewhat unable to withstand it. There would definitely be a feeling of bloatedness within the body.
But Ye Yuan drank two cups in a row and was completely fine. It was not unexpected that the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord would not be astonished.
But he did not know that Ye Yuan ate medicinal pills like eating jelly beans. It would not do if the pills were only a few.
Ye Yuan had to expend no idea how many divine-grade medicinal pills to break through one minor realm currently. It was simply a bottomless pit.
Forget about double the spirit tea, even ten cups, he would not bat an eyelid too.
Two cups entering the stomach, Ye Yuan's chaos divine essence also could not grow by much.
Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "It turns out that it's the Empty Cicada Skydew Tea, no wonder, no wonder! It's just that … it's somewhat a pity!'
The old man said doubtfully, "Oh? What's a pity?"
This Empty Cicada Skydew was carefully nurtured by him. He had expended God knows how much effort.
Hearing Ye Yuan's meaning, there seemed to even be some shortcomings!
Ye Yuan said, "Empty Cicada Skydew is a rank five spirit tea, but Pavilion Lord only has a rank four effect, isn't it a shame?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Empty Cicada Skydew is the most finicky and is exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Being able to nurture peak rank four, this old man has already spent goodness knows how much the price."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That's Senior's cultivation method being wrong! Empty Cicada Skydew Tea, the hardest thing to preserve is its spiritual energy. A single misstep and the spiritual energy will leak out, dropping ranks."
The old man trembled all over and said, "You have the Empty Cicada Skydew's nurturing method? Empty Cicada Skydew is extremely rare. The nurturing methods passed down are also extremely few. This old man exhausted all means but also didn't find the method to cultivate it."
The significance of rank four spirit teas and rank five spirit teas was different to the old man.
Rank four spirit teas were really just spirit tea to him; it was only a drink.
But rank five spirit teas were very helpful to his cultivation!
Moreover, the function of spirit teas was not just increasing cultivation. It also had tremendous benefits to the body.
Hence, that was why he would rack his brains to go and cultivate them.
It was just a pity that it was all for naught.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The nurturing method for Empty Cicada Skydew lies in the word 'Skydew'! Every morning when dew forms, it's the time when the spirit tea absorbs spiritual energy most vigorously. At this time, one should add more fertilizer, while at other times, it should be reduced according to one's discretion. Moreover, the four seasons, each season's fertilizer amount is also different. It's indeed extremely difficult to cultivate. For Senior to be able to cultivate to peak rank four, you've clearly expended considerable effort too."
The moment the old man heard what Ye Yuan said, he immediately had a sudden realization and said, "No wonder! No wonder! So that's how it is! Little Friend Ye Yuan, this … this Empty Cicada Skydew's nurturing method, can … can it be imparted to this old man?"
Spirit tea was a type of spirit medicine too. Nurturing it was extremely meticulous and could not be clearly stated in a few sentences.
Ye Yuan knew because Immortal Grove was an enthusiast of tea ceremony too. He had collected many spirit teas' nurturing methods.
This Empty Cicada Skydew was one of them.
The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord was extremely agitated at this time. The demeanor of an expert was all lost, looking at Ye Yuan eagerly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That is of course!"
As he said, Ye Yuan took out a jade slip and imprinted the nurturing method for the Empty Cicada Skydew, and gave it to the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord.
The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord's divine sense swept through it, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, an appearance akin to having obtained a priceless treasure.
"Turns out that it's like this! Turns out that it's like this! Why didn't I think of it?" The old man had an appearance of being suddenly enlightened and was actually itching to give it a try.
Ye Yuan was not in a rush either, waiting quietly.
With this look, it was more than an hour.
The old man put away the jade slip, only then abruptly startled awake, and said rather embarrassedly, "Huhu, I have incurred Little Friend Ye Yuan's ridicule. You don't know how much effort this old man put into this Empty Cicada Skydew. Now that I'm burning with eagerness, I became immersed in it and was unable to extricate myself for some time."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior is an alchemist too and naturally understands Pavilion Lord's mood."
The old man laughed and said, "Talking about this tea for half a day, I almost forgot proper business! Little Friend Ye Yuan, you have the emperor surmounting aura. Performing divination for you, I have to expend considerable longevity! It isn't convenient for this old man to frequently take action due to some reasons. Hence, this old man set the rule of taking action once every 300 years!"
Ye Yuan secretly sighed in his heart. He did not expect that his destiny actually became the greatest obstacle to finding Li-er they all.
"Senior, I wonder how long is there still from this 300 years?" Ye Yuan asked.
The old man said, "The 300-year date is only left with seven years."
Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "Senior, I want this chance for you to take action! I won't hesitate to pay any price!"
But the old man shook his head and said, "This opportunity, you have to fight for it yourself."
Ye Yuan said doubtfully, "Fight for it myself?"
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord nodded and said, "After seven years, Extreme Light Imperial City will set up the Hundred Battles Arena! At that time, all geniuses will gather here and compete for a chance to have this old man view their aura and perform a divination. If you want to have this old man take action, only by winning the Hundred Battles Arena will it work!"
Ye Yuan's expression changed slightly and he said, "This … If Junior encounters late-stage Divine Lord Realm, wouldn't it be impossible to win?"
It was true that Ye Yuan was strong, but he was not strong to the extent where he could defeat a late-stage Divine Lord yet.
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The rule that this old man set is that all those whose skeletal age exceeds 2000 years are not allowed to join the Hundred Battles Arena. Your opponents are all your peers!"
[1] From now on, first-layered heaven will be changed to First Firmament, second-layered heaven to Second Firmament, so on and so forth.


TRANSLATOR'S SYNOPSIS

Qingyun Zi was betrayed and murdered. Just when he thought that everything was over, he wakes up in a new body; the body of a silkpants named Ye Yuan. 


As he embarks on a new life, he struggles to cope with the loss of loved ones as well as to accept his new identity. 


Unresigned to his fate, Ye Yuan resolves to make his way back to the top while hiding his identity from his old enemies as he plots his revenge.
 

How did he revive? Will he be exposed and die again with countless regrets? Was there a mastermind behind all this?


With all these questions and more in his heart, Ye Yuan resolves to seek out answers as he uncovers a darker plot behind everything.



"You called me?" Ash said as he appeared in front of me, "!?" I recoiled in shock and looked at him wickedly, "How many times do I have to tell you that don't appear in front of me so suddenly ?!" I said because I'm going to have a heart attack when he always comes up like that while holding my chest and calming myself. 

"I am sorry, and good morning," He said while smiling at me. 

"Morning," I said as I stand up to wash my face since I sleep without changing my clothes. I started to remove my clothes. 

"!!!" Ash immediately turned around when he notices that I remove my clothes even though he is there but I really don't care since he is a magical beast. 

"Master, please be mindful of your actions. I will be waiting for you at the dining room," He said as I heard the sound of the door opening and closing since I didn't look at him when he leaves since I was busy removing my clothes. 

I didn't expect that Sheenova is inviting me to a tea party after two days, after her debut. I don't think that she will be inviting me this early but this will be an opportunity to get her to our side. And I'm also worried about what Ryah said that day but I am hoping that I will not be late. However, I didn't expect Ryah and Hanz to be at the tea party since there were only four of us in the garden. I am totally around with enemy and enemy's territory, and unfortunately, I can't leave in my seat since I am the one who arrives first. 

~~Flashback~~ 

When I arrived first was, Sheenova is waiting for me outside the house and leads me to the garden where the tea party will be held. I thought that it will be a big tea party since it is only one table and four chairs as I seated. 

I looked at Sheenova before I asked her, " There are only four of us? "While smiling at her. 

"Ah, yes. Did I not include in the letter?" She said as she thinks if she read any. 

"I didn't read any," I said, may have been intentionally not placed since the Empress messenger delivered it although the penmanship is the same. 

"I see, maybe I forgot to include but I am sure you know them already," She said while smiling at me as she excuses herself to wait for the others so I just nodded. I wondered who the people she invited were as I was hoping that it will not be the Crown Princess, however, after minutes I saw them approaching. 

I stood up, " Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Princess," I said as I bow a little. Ryah smiled at me, "Hello, Avy. I didn't think that we will see each other again," She said as she smiled as she was expecting it. 

"It's a pleasure to be here, your Highness," I said as I help her sit as she thanks me and intentionally held me by the hand so I immediately pull away as she smirks at me. 

"Your Highness, I will wait for the last person before the party will start," She said as she left us after Ryah nods. 

I took a deep breath before I talk, "Your Highness, what do you mean back then?" I asked her while seriously looking at him as she smirks at me even more. 

"Hm? What are you talking about?" she said as if she didn't know what I am talking about as if she was being careful so I simply looked around. Is she being monitored by the Empress? 

I sighed, "Nevermind," I said. I asked Ash through my mind since our minds are connected for communication, 'Ash, can you look around if there is a spy around us?'. 

'There are five, Master,' He said since he was hiding somewhere here because he didn’t want to leave me and come here alone. 

'Are they near?' I asked again. 

'One is near, I think one of the standby maids and for the others are somewhere in the house and not so far from you,' He answered with a sleepy tone as if he was bored watching us. 

" Are you okay, Avy?" I snap of it when she suddenly asked me with a confused face as if she was calling me several times. 

"A, Ah, yes," I answered while smiling at her. 

"You seemed out of yourself today," She said as she looked at me seriously as if she was examining me. 

"I just remembered something," I said while I forcefully laugh a little. 

"Is that so?" She said as she holds my hand placed on the table so I immediately missed him as I looked at the maids if they are looking but they are not since they were suddenly called inside. I looked at her as she's telling me to remain silent as she whispers, 'you should move already,' as she smiled at me sweetly. 

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her the second time but she just smiled at me as if she had heard nothing. I looked at her but turned my gaze when I saw Sheenova coming here with Hanz. They are laughing while approaching here so I kept quiet because I didn’t expect Hanz to be the fourth person when I was hoping that Lady Miary will be the last but remembering the debut they are not going to have a good relationship so it's impossible. 

I stood up again when they are near us, "Greeting, your Highness the Second Prince," I said as I bow. He looked at me with aloof on his face as if he didn't want to see me here. 

"Hm," he said as he seat down beside Ryah and Sheenova sits between us so I faced Ryah and Hanz. 

~~End Flashback~~ 

"I am glad that all of you attended my small tea party. I very happy to have you even with your busy schedules," Sheenova said as she was smiling so sweetly. 

"Of course since you are a family now," Ryah said as she smiled at her. 

"Indeed," Hanz seconded as he smiles so Ryah is very happy with their answers. 

"It's my pleasure to attend, Lady Kleis," I said since I am in front of them so I need to call her with honorifics so she pouts as she looked at me, "I told you to drop the honorifics, Avy," She said. 

"I can't do that Lady Kleis," I answered so she pouted at me even more but immediately agreed with me as if she already get it why did I call her that. 

"So, let's start my small tea party," She said with an energetic tone as she calls the maids to prepare the different types of teas in front of us. 

"You can choose whatever you want and the maids will serve it as they make it," She said while the maids are on standby while waiting for our chosen tea. I don't know much about teas since I am not really into them but I like Jasmine tea or chamomile tea, however, I don't know how to determine their colors since they look uniformly dry leaves labeled with different colors on the container. 

"I will take this tea," Ryah said while pointing the herb has a brown color label on it. I don't know what flavor is that since she didn't even smell it because she just pointed. 

"How about you Prince Hanz?" Sheenova asked him while smiling, and Hanz looked at the different teas on the table. 

"I'll take this one," He said as he points out the one that has a yellow label. 

"Avy?" Sheenova said while looking at me so I looked at the teas in front of me since there are six teas here in red, yellow, blue, black, pink, and purple. 

"I'll take this," I said while pointing to the blue label since it was my favorite color and my instinct also says it too. 

"Then, I'll take it this one," Sheenova said as she points out the black label on it. 

"Let's chat while waiting for our teas," She said since the maids began to prepare our teas. 

"Are you guys fond of animals?" she added while smiling. 

"Yes," Prince Hanz simply answered her. Sheenova turned her gaze to Ryah, "Not really, but I want to hold again the rabbit from 2 years ago that Prince Hanz has," She said while smiling at her. 

"Where is the rabbit?" She asked as she looks at Prince Hanz, 

"I returned to her owner," He said, 

"I see. How about you Avy?" She said as she looked at me so as Prince Hanz and Ryah. 

I smiled, "Yes, sort of," I said, since I love animals but not all and definitely don't want to take care but Ash is an exception since he is a magical beast with human intelligence. 

"I am happy that you all like animals since I was planning to go on a vacation where I can see animals and I would like to invite you all," She said while smiling. 

"I see. I will come if I don't have any work on that day you are planning to go," Prince Hanz said, 

"Likewise," Her Highness answered so Sheenova's face was a bit sad at their answers since they could vaguely go. 

She looked at me with puppy eyes while acting cute so I looked away because I knew she wanted me with her. "I'll go," I said since she was really pitiful like a puppy that was abandoned by her owner. 

'Master, why did you agree?' Ash asked me in my mind. 'I don't have any choice, Ash. She was too cute for me,' I answered. 

"Thank you, Avy," She said as she holds my hands on the table so I chuckled as I looked away. 

Sheenova stands up when the snacks came as she puts them on our table. "I hope the snacks is to your liking, Your Highnesses," She said, 

"It's alright, Lady Kleis," Ryah said while smiling, "I am not really fond of sweets but I can eat unlike my brother so it's okay," He said, "Thank goodness," She said as she smiled. She didn't ask since I already told her that I like various sweet snacks. 

"Here is your Chrysanthemum tea, Your Highness," She said as she served it to Prince Hanz, the tea has a yellow color or it almost looks like a gold color with a yellow flower and has a nice scent that it is really suited with him. 

"Thank you," He said as he takes a sip on it after he smells the scent. 

Sheenova just smiled as she serves the next tea which is has a purple color so I think it is a lavender tea, "Here is your Lavender tea, Your Highness," She said, so I guessed right and it has also a nice scent. 

"Thank you, Lady Kleis," She said while smiling, "No worries," Sheenova answered her. I was thinking what was the tea that I have chosen since I don't know what it is. 

"Here is your Butterfly pea flower tea, Avy. This tea changes its color when you add lemon," She said, "Really?" I said since I didn't know as she gives me the tea has a color of blue with a blue flower on it. 

She chuckled, "Yes," She said as she gives me lemon and honey. "Thank you, Lady Kleis," I said as I put some lemon on my tea and it does change into purple color. "Wow," I said so Sheenova giggled as if she was looking into a child's reaction while Ryah just smiled and Hanz just looked at me seriously so I sit straight and act like a man. 

"Did you really not know this?" Sheenova asked as she puts her tea which has a black color that I think is black tea. 

"Y, Yes," I answered as I put some honey on my tea. 

"I see," She said as she sips on her tea. She looks like a real noble since she acts so properly as if she really belongs here. The way she moves is with the poise and dignity that a noble has. 

We remain silent as we enjoy drinking our teas when we heard some commotion coming from the entrance of the garden. So we looked at the entrance and we saw Renz approaching us while smiling so Hanz got a facepalm when he saw his brother. 

"Greetings, your Highness the Crown Princess," We said in unison when he gets close to us. 

"Hello, why didn't you invite me to Lady Kleis?" He said as he smiled while looking at us, 

"I dare not to disturb his Highness," She humbly said as she bows a little. 

"No need to be so formal, Lady Kleis. Just invite me next time especially if Hanz is also invited," He said as he looked at his brother who is looking away. 

"I will keep in mind, your Highness," She said as she smiled at him. She calls someone to bring one chair and table for the Crown Prince. I can't look at him straight because his eyes are teasing and this is the first time I saw him again after the debut since I didn't go out for two days since I don't want to accidentally bump into him even though it's obviously not an accident. 

"By the way, why are you here, your Highness," Ryah asked him as we seated since there is already a chair and a table. 

"I just want to take some air where Hanz is," He said as he also has a black tea. I looked at him in disbelief since he came from far away here at the Empress Residence and I didn't expect him to enter in enemy's lair voluntarily. 

"You really doting on him," She said while the three of us were just silent while listening to the two of them. 

"Of course," He said confidently while Hanz looks away as if he doesn't hear anything so I wanted to laugh because he couldn’t look at his brother even though they were almost facing each other even though Prince Renz wants to sit with him but there is no space for his food and tea. 

After Hanz drank his tea he confronted his brother, "Brother, aren't you busy, are you?" he said as he looked at his brother while frowning. 

"Yes, but I --"

I ran into the kitchen as I called out, "two hot pekoe teas with milk in each please!"
Kageyama quickly placed two cups out. My grandpa came with the tea and Kageyama poured the tea and milk perfectly rationed. My grandpa hummed in satisfaction at his pupil. I smiled brightly as Hinata came in with two more orders.
I came out of the kitchen with the teas when I see Tsukishima having some trouble with some customers.
"I told you I want two jasmine teas."
"And I'm telling you I can't do that. We're out of Jasmine tea right now, so pick another one."
"What sort of tea shop doesn't have jasmine? Can I speak to your manager?"
I quickly come from behind him and smiled softly. "Is there some sort of problem here ma'am?"
"Yes, actually! This young man here said that you don't have any Jasmine tea! What sort of shop doesn't have jasmine tea?"
I laughed awkwardly. "The next shipment is coming soon. We haven't had this many customers, so we ran out of stock quickly. Please be patient for five minutes."
I grabbed Tsukishima's sleeve and pulled him to the side. "What the heck was that?"
He scoffed. "She didn't believe me, so what was I supposed to say?"
"Oh I don't know, maybe saying it more nicely would be a great start!"
He looked at me like I was crazy. "I don't know if you haven't noticed, but why would I need to be nice to people in a job that I'm not getting paid at? I mean, it's great that you're letting us have a place to say, but the other three already have just about everything handled. Why do I have to work here?"
I glared back with just as much ferocity. "It's not about whether you want to work here or not, or if you're getting paid. It's basic etiquette, so you're not stopping until you get the next orders right."
He groaned loudly. "Seriously?"
I cracked a small smile. "What are you, a child? Stop whining and get your butt out there. I'm sure you can charm many of the customers if you tried hard enough."
"Tch, what's the hecking point?"
"Come on." I shoved him out of the kitchen doors while passing him a tray of the jasmine tea.
He approached the lady and mumbled, "here's your tea.."
She glared at him. "I was told to wait five minutes! It's been seven minutes! I want a refund."
Tsukishima stood up straight and he was getting more irritated by the second. Then he smiled brightly, and said, "I'm sorry for your wait ma'am. Thank you for your patience. While I am sorry for taking up too much time, I can't refund it. Would you like a discount if any of the desserts or snacks that would go well with the tea?"
My eyes widened. When the heck could he-
The woman seemed just as surprised by the change in attitude. "Yes, sure... thanks..."
He smiled one last time and turned away. As he walked towards me his expression immediately changed to one that said, "I'm in pain and I hate you."
I stifled a laugh as he came back towards me and shoved the tray to my chest. I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the creases on his forehead deepened.
"Shut. Up."

She was just a waitress at a local tea shop. Not known for strange occurrences, she finds herself helping four boys to find a way back home, with other adventures that revolve around her and Tsukishima.
