The Greenwich district, frequented by nobles, was also crowded today.

Wagons were lined up on the streets of downtown. It was a wagon parked by servants of nobles who visited the coffee house.

In front of the first store of 'Orcafe,' which is the largest coffee house in this area.

There a wagon stopped and stopped.

"Hmm, there are still a lot of people. Good thing you made a reservation."

It was Baron Veronil who got off the carriage.

He, who is a coffee lover and an orcafe eater, has not been able to visit this place for a week as he has been very busy with the work of the Emperor.

However, recently, Orcafe started a delivery service, so I was able to drink coffee here in Hwangseong.

In addition, Orcaffe's cold brew coffee was plentiful in his mansion.

'Still, the best coffee to come and drink. This beautiful interior and elegant music, the sound of people talking and the aroma of coffee. It's the perfect mood.'

He hurriedly entered the store with a happy heart.

I came to attend a discussion meeting with my acquaintances, but I came an hour earlier than them to enjoy the atmosphere here.

On the second floor, there was a large room for guests who made reservations, and it was divided by a partition, so it was possible to have a more comfortable conversation.

But Baron Vero'Neill, who was about to climb the stairs, stopped.

"Well?"

He turned his head and looked at the wall.

It was the first poster I had ever seen.

However, the content of the poster was quite strange.

'It's not a drug or anything like that....'

Upon closer inspection, it was a promotional poster for the new menu 'tea'.

'A new menu is out....'

In the closet of Hwangseong's office, I had no time to listen to outside news because I was alone all week wrestling with papers.

He felt resentful and anxious as it seemed that he was the only one who found out about the news of a new virtue target late.

A pretty teacup was drawn inside the poster, and the effects of tea were lined up below it.

'You're not promoting the taste and smell, you're promoting only the efficacy.... Doesn't it look quite tasteless?'

With that in mind, he read the contents one by one.

A mysterious drink from the eastern continent. 'car'

Are you curious about the good drink that makes you healthy when you drink it, the cause of the longevity of people on the eastern continent? This 'tea' has its secret.

Beneath it, the effects of tea were written one after another.

'Like coffee, it clears the head and improves concentration.... Insomnia, indigestion, upset stomach, etc.... If you look at what is written, it is a very panacea.'

I felt distrust inside, but I was curious about something.

It was then.

click.

A lady at the table right next door caught the eye of Baron Veronil.

The lady may have ordered a new menu, or was drinking tea from a beautiful teacup.

However, the sound of placing the teacup on a saucer, a saucer placed on the palm, was very pleasant and pleasant to hear.

'It's a unique teacup, and it's also gorgeous.'

The coffee and other subtle scents didn't seem too bad either.

Besides, the lady holding the teacup looked very beautiful and elegant, which was very impressive.

'I want to follow you, I want to drink too!'

At that moment, another decorative cabinet next to it caught the baron's eyes.

'It's a decoration I've never seen before...?'

When I got closer, I saw that it was a sample of a teacup set that was just starting to be sold.

'Can't be this beautiful!'

As soon as he saw the teacup, he was fascinated. Unlike coffee cups, the wide, not deep cups had a very thin mouthpiece.

And I couldn't take my eyes off the pattern drawn in it because it was so mysterious and exotic.

How did you draw such a gorgeous and delicate pattern?

'It's a teacup from the eastern continent. You must buy this!'

For purchase, please contact the counter.

As soon as I saw the phrase, I immediately ran to the counter.

"I would like to purchase a few sets of those mugs."

"Ah, sorry. user. That teacup is waiting for the atmosphere. I think you'll have to wait a little longer, are you okay?"

"Uh, how long do I have to wait?"

"You can receive it in about two weeks. If you leave your address here...."

Viscount Vero'onil became bitter. If I hadn't been busy with work, I would have gotten it right away....

After leaving his address with a slightly disappointed look, he headed to the room he had reserved.

And I ordered the new green tea on the order table, and a black tea and dessert set from the black tea menu.

It was because when I checked under the glass window overlooking the terrace on the first floor, the guests seemed to drink more black tea than green tea.

'You can't go out of fashion.'

It seems that he is already behind, but he tries to ignore it.

Soon, the tea and dessert I ordered came out together.

A small note was also included. "How to drink tea" was written on it.

The staff also showed us how to drive a car on the spot, but Baron Vero'O'Neil watched as if possessed.

From preheating teapots to brewing tea leaves. The whole process went smoothly.

"If it's your first time, we'll make milk tea together."

"It's good."

The employee left a cup of black tea and a cup of milk tea in front of Baron Vero'onil.

Baron Veronil, who was left alone, fully savored the aroma of tea and drank black tea first.

He opened his eyes at the scent that spread in his mouth.

'This taste...!'

This time, as indicated on the memo, I drank milk tea with sugar.

'No, crazy...!'

The aroma and taste of black tea was enough to fascinate him. Of course, the favorite was still coffee, but it was enough to threaten the position.

This time, I drank black tea with dessert.

The sweet dessert and the scent of bitter black tea purify the inside of the mouth, showing a maddening compatibility.

"ha...."

In addition, the black tea took away the sweetness in the mouth, so when I ate dessert again, I was able to enjoy the taste as if I ate it for the first time.

"This is crazy."

Orcafe's boss, who are you? what's the real thing! this crazy man!

He calmed his excited heart and emptied his glass. Then I poured tea again from the teapot and drank it again.

As expected of Rafine, black tea immediately captured the taste of the imperial nobles from the moment it appeared.

Baron Vero'onil almost cried and began to savor the milk tea.

Now, it was the era of tea.

* * *

"Damn it! What the hell is that black tea, it's so expensive! I can't buy it even if I pay a lot of money.... You can give me any amount, so tell me to give it to you!"

Orphana rolled her feet with courage. His acting skills were top-notch.

"I was so angry."

Orpana said with a calm look, as if she had been zealous.

The performance Orphana had just shown mimicked Viscount Tedler, who was enraged at the news of the tea.

Although he hijacked Viscount's business, Viscount Tedler has also succeeded in other businesses over the past two years.

It was just a business, but not as much as coffee or tea, but it seemed to be making quite a bit of money.

'Anyway, it's a bright inspiration for business.'

Raphine said with a smirk.

"great. Is teacup production going well?"

"Yeah. All pottery craftsmen were recruited. They really worked hard when they heard that each of them was creating a brand under their own name."

"Good good. This is the beginning."

Raphine laughed softly. The opening of a new tea house is not far away.

There, it was planned to sell tea leaves in pretty cases. A tea bag product containing tea leaves in a cotton cloth was also prepared.

In addition, even a studded teacup set.

The teacups of artisans will be exclusively sold for a limited time each season.

It wasn't just that.

In addition to regular straight tea, we have prepared a variety of black teas.

Flavored teas mixed with flowers or dried fruit or flavored with chocolate.

'Actually, what I liked the most was flavored tea. Among them, rose-flavored tea.'

I also liked the fruit flavored tea. Black tea with a fruity flavor was excellent when drank as a refreshing iced tea.

With a variety of menus prepared, it was very easy to fascinate the aristocrats.

Apparently, 'black tea' is an indispensable item for the Ropan nobles. I was very fortunate to be able to proceed with the business at the right time in the novel.

"Orphana, you suffered."

"You're welcome."

Orpana smiled brightly with a blank expression on her face.

That smile....

'When you find the relics later, the master has to work much harder than me.'

I think I'm saying this.... Raphine swallowed her saliva.

'There is no need to worry about the business as long as this is enough.'

Now the question was how to handle the case where the empress and the emperor were at odds.

Zerkan is 12 years old this year, and although he is an adult, he was still young.

Seeing the parents getting separated from each other, the wounds in Zerkan's heart will gradually pile up one after another.

'In the future, Zerkan is crazy... In fact, the reason I became a gnome is probably because these pasts have been accumulated.'

Often parents will fight in front of the child, arguing that the child will not know anything, or let the child into the room and fight secretly.

However, children are more sensitive and quick-witted than expected. Enough to notice the subtle atmosphere of their parents right away.

Such insecurities ruin children's emotions.

Besides, Zerkan was a special situation.

'The father's other woman, and the son she bore. You even live with them in the Hwangseong Fortress.'
