After the cancellation of my engagement, my long term bet with the king has finally proven a victor, and that's me.
With a reward of anything I wanted, I get to travel to the Diamond kingdom!
My plans and efforts were all for this moment, but it se...
"I'm going weather you want me to or not." Slamming down her teacup with a loud CLANK, Rina looked at the Grand Duke in the eyes. "I will not allow it!" Slamming his hands on the table, the Grand Duke also looked at her in the eyes.
There was practically lightning sparking in between the two's fierce glares. "Are you sure M'lady? It may be different from the ones you are used to." Claude, who was trimming the garden hedges, looked on at the two in worry.
"It's fine! I have been taught to get accustomed to any type of tea party." The reason they were arguing was because of a simple tea party invitation? No, the invitation was not simple at all. It was sent by the daughter of Marquis Grimm. Just second to the Grand Duke.
"The ones in this country are different! You will not be able to handle them!" It seems this comment ticked off Rina because she sipped her tea quickly and looked at the Grand Duke as if he was a nasty bug that crawled into her kitchen.
Crossing her legs and pulling out her fan, she truly looked like a pampered Duke's daughter. "Do. Not. Underestimate. My. Abilities." Although she was quite angry, Rina still had her perfect smile on. Gulping down his saliva, the Grand Duke put on a weak grin.
"There will be no tea there, demon woman."

"W-what?" Who would have thought, in a thousand years that the tyrant, demon woman Rina, would be taken down by a mere mention of not having tea? Well, that's just what the Grand Duke thought.
"Ha.."
"Hahaha, if they do not have tea, I will bring it myself!" It seems that Rina had lost her mind of a second, a tea party with no tea? How absurd it sounded! Then what was the point if calling it a tea party?! *insert flipping table face*
It's funny how different their thoughts were. The Grand Duke thought of Rina's reaction while Rina thought only of tea, yes, a weird combo indeed. While all that was happening, Claude was just looking at the 2 with a blank face for few seconds before going back to work on the hedges.
——1 week later——
"I welcome you, Lady Bellrose." The only daughter of the Marquis, Olivia Von Grimm, personally came out to meet this so-called "Lady Bellrose". How could they not be curious about her after that?
Putting on her best smile, Rina bowed as well, "I am honored to be invited by you, Lady Grimm." The lady's gathered around Rina as soon as Olivia left to greet other guests. "Might I be so rude as to ask who you are?" A girl with a light cream colored dress, pink hair, and many jewelries on her approached Rina with a light smile.
"Oh my, how rude of me, I'm Rina Bellrose." While facing the pink haired girl, Rina could hear whispering behind her.
"The one that got her engagement broken?"
"No way, what would she be doing here?"
"Maybe she was exiled afterwards?"
The young ladies gossiped as Rina remain unaffected. "And may I be as rude as to ask who you are?" The pink haired noble lady raised her head high and arrogantly introduced herself. "I'm the daughter of Marquis Herren, Angelica Von Herren. It is pleasure to meet you."
Right from the start, Rina thought, what a lying bitch. Do you think I don't know you're actually a man? How dare you show your face at a only women's tea party. I shall make you leave, even if I have to do it with my own two hands.
These dangerous thoughts were, of course, unknown to the now known son of Marquis Herren. Without saying anything more Rina turned around and headed to a table to sit down at. Waiting until the tea party officially started, Rina was surprised.
They really don't have tea here huh. Her opinion on the Diamond kingdom dropped significantly that day. "Lady Bellrose? Are the sweets not to your liking?" Olivia, who was conserving with the other ladies not too long agai, had snuck up behind Rina and was now staring at her.
"No, it's not that. It's just..." Scratching her cheek slightly, Rina finally asked, "Why does this tea party have no tea?" Every woman in the room looked shocked, even Olivia herself. "Lady Bellrose, were you perhaps not informed? Tea has ,yalready stopped trending, so there is no more reason to make it at parties."
Rina frowned on the outside, but inside it was basically the end of the world for her. Stopped trending? Is that your only reason? Tea is suppose to show one's elegance and taste, having no tea at a party is basically saying you are boring and not graceful at all!
Rina really was rioting in her mind. "Oh my, I see. That is too bad. I was hoping you would serve some tea at this tea party, but I guess I was wrong." Honestly, Rina sounded so disappointed that no one would have thought there was a double meaning to her words.
'You don't have tea at a tea party? Are you a idiot? Why even call it a tea party, might as well just call it a normal party!'
"I'm apologize, I'll call the maid over right away." It seems that Olivia and the other noble women hadn't noticed her choice in words, but a pink haired, cross-dressing male did. He gritted his teeth angrily and Rina noticed. It seems that he really likes this Olivia girl.
You should know already and yet you still do that. When you're in high society, you can never show your weaknesses, or else someone like me will swoop in and use it against you.
Honestly, I still have plenty of time before the real game starts. About...6 months I think? I will not let you, a common fodder, get in the way of my entertainment.

She lives on tea ya'll. #Livingontea Anyways, sorry I updated late, was suppose to update last month...Just really didn't have any interesting ideas or drive for the chapter. But, then I was like, 'oh yeah! What the f*ck am I doing? I don't have a script I have to follow, all I have to do is come up with weird ideas and make it into a chapter!' So, that's what I did.
Anyways, now that I've updated I'll relax until I have a time crunch again.
