Chapter 18

By the time Grace gave Rozenbach the correct medicine and effectively stopped the burning, he was already feeling half dead.

"Mistress, are you alright?" Tea Cake looked worried at the lifeless expression on Rozenbach's face. Tea Cake helpfully used a wet towel that appeared out of nowhere to wipe his face, but the lifeless expression remained.

"I'm fine," Rozenbach replied, but his tone was as dull as his expression. If only he had known he would transmigrate into a different world and being abused in so many ways, he would not have stepped out of his house that day!

Three consecutive knocks on the door caught everyone's attention.

"Who is it?" Queen Yuuko called out.

"It is I, Cookie. I'm here to relay information." That person had a voice that could cause ladies to be enthralled.

Hearing that the person was Cookie, Queen Yuuko's face brightened. She quickly fixed her hair and clothes before she personally went to open the door.

Rozenbach's lifeless expression finally showed a hint of curiosity. He was very curious how Lord Cookie would look like to have two beautiful ladies pinning for him. His voice was impressive enough to increase Rozenbach's expectation of Lord Cookie's appearance.

When Lord Cookie entered the room, Rozenbach caught the smell of delicious cookies. He rubbed his empty stomach that nearly let out a hungry growl.

"Wah! So yummy!" Tea Cake exclaimed as she stared at the young man dressed in a light brown suit wearing a monocle on his right eye. "Does the smell come from you?"

It was only his little maid that was bold enough to ask what was on everyone's mind.

Rozenbach had only seen everyone dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, so seeing this young man in western clothing was a surprise. A sudden thought popped up in his mind. Perhaps Queen Yuuko loves western stuff? Even her personal dragon was from a western heritage.

Lord Cookie's expression turned awkward due to what Tea Cake had said. "Thank you." A box filled with delicious cookies suddenly magically appeared in his hand and he gave it to Tea Cake.

"Wah! Cookies for me? Thank you Lord Cookie!" Tea Cake happily accepted the box of cookies, already thinking of eating them with her favorite drink, milk!

Will it be shameless if I fight with Tea Cake for some of the cookies?

"Cookie, give some to Miss Rozie too!" Queen Yuuko urged. Normally, whenever Cookie was around, she would hardly notice anything around her as her eyes were only trained on the handsome Cookie. But the chances of seeing a beautiful man such as Rozenbach was too few, so she decided to look while she still had the chance.

That was why she caught the way Rozenbach had eyed the cookies that were given to Tea Cake! She was too familiar with those eyes that hungered for cookies and those puppy-dog eyes that seemed to be begging for them!

"Of course, I have plenty of cookies to share." Lord Cookie gave Rozenbach a smile and took out an even larger box of cookies for Rozenbach.

Tea Cake stared at Lord Cookie with a seemingly betrayed expression, while Rozenbach happily accepted the cookies. When Tea Cake stared at the box of cookies in Rozenbach's hands with undisguised greed, Rozenbach wondered if Tea Cake would steal the cookies from him.
