Astra then stood up, lifting her dress while bowing to the trash duke.
Astra
Greetings, Father. How have you been?
Trash duke
I just wanted to pass by.
It took Astra a second to realize he was still talking to Stezia.
Astra
(Gripped her dress tightly) Mmmph.. Hmphh..
Astra
💭: You dare ignore me? Ugh.
Trash duke
Anyway, I'm heading off now.
Stezia
Of course, my majesty.
Astra
*mumbled* 'My' majesty? How gross.
Stezia
Did you say something, my lady?
Stezia
Anyway, my lady, would you like a cup of brewed tea and snacks?
Astra
Yes. Please give me the green tea.
Astra sat back to her graceful position, paying attention to Stezia's every move.
As Stezia began brewing the tea, she began trying to strike conversations with Astra.
Stezia
My lady, tomorrow, you will meet his highness, Casimir. Please make sure to behave to maintain your graceful nobility position.
Astra
Are you saying I'll be disowned if I don't?
Stezia
*she halted, laughing awkwardly*
Stezia
I was just saying, he might view you as--
Astra
Can't you just get my tea ready?
Stezia
My lady! Please act more like a noble! Your etiquette may be perfect, but it'd be no use if you had such behavior and attitude!
Astra
My apologies. Is it done yet?
Stezia
Of course, My lady. It to will soon be done.
Astra
I beg you get it done as soon a possible.
Stezia
💭: Ugh! Now I know why they call her the ruthless, cold princess. I bet she'll make a f00l out of herself when Prince Casimir arrives!
Stezia
💭: Heh, finally, it's done. Should I 'accidentally' spill it on her dress? Hmm, but her head would be better.
Stezia
💭: Meh, whichever works.
Stezia took the cup of tea served on a small plate. She pretended to run, then tripped herself.
Stezia
Here it is, my lady!
Stezia
*slips* Oh no! Please forgi-
Stezia
Please forgive me, my lady! I didn't mean-
Stezia
💭: Huh? When did she get beside me? There's no sign of tea spilled over there either..
Stezia stares at the ground, seeing the tea and plate scattered in pieces while the green tea is spilled all over.
Stezia gritted her teeth, showing her clear frown.
Without wasting another word, she left the kitchen.
Stezia
💭: Gr.... I'll make you pay for this!
