I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’ Older Brother - CH 115
“Hey, where’s Sascha?”
It is time for tea in Diana’s room.
Since her father and mother were both absent today, Diana had decided to spend tea time in her room instead of using the tea room. She wanted the tea, a gift from Cain, to be brewed by Il Vareno, not by the tea room servants.
“I called him just now, but all I got was the reply, “A little more, wait a moment.”
“You’re reading a book, I bet. Your brother was so engrossed in reading a book, he’d become a human being just to reply to you.”
Il Valeno nodded. Cain often gave empty replies when he was absorbed in embroidery or knitting.
For better or worse, Cain, who was highly focused, had a tendency to lose sight of his surroundings when he entered his own world, and Il Valeno would slap him to bring him back to reality. Of course, he couldn’t do that in public, but Cain was also able to pay attention to his surroundings in public, so he never slapped Cain in front of others.
“Let’s get ready ahead of time. What about snacks??”
“I had them stop by the tea room on the way home from the violin lesson earlier.”
With that, Diana took a cookie wrapped in a cloth from her skirt pocket.
“That kind of thing again… Sascha will be angry with you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll quickly take them out before Sascha finds them.”
“In the first place, if you put it in your pocket, the cookie will be torn to pieces.”
“Oh…right…”
When Diana took the cloth from her skirt and spread it out on the low table, the petals of the flower-shaped cookies were broken off.
Il Valeno took out a small plate from the shelf where the tea set was kept and moved the cookies from the cloth to the plate.
The small pieces that remained on the cloth were wrapped in the cloth again and scattered on the balcony as he walked to the balcony. I briskly dusted off the cloth and gently folded it into a small piece and placed it on the corner of the table.
As usual, a small group of birds came to the balcony to pick at the cookie pieces.
I wonder if she’ll learn to eat crumbs and candy out of my hand soon.
It would be difficult unless Diana could stay still.”
Diana was sitting on the sofa, staring out onto the balcony.
She still goes to the garden feeder that Cain built to put bread crumbs on after breakfast. The little birds don’t come close to Diana until she leaves the feeder, but Diana dreams that one day she will be able to feed bread crumbs from her hand.
Once, one little bird tried to get on her hand, but Diana closed her hand vigorously like an oak clap to catch it. Since then, the little bird has never again approached Diana.
As Diana watched the little birds pecking at the cookie crumbs, a nice aroma tickled her nose. She looked from the balcony back into the room and saw Il Vareno pouring tea into a teacup and bringing it to the table.
“It smells good, doesn’t it?”
“It’s the tea from Cain. It smells flowery and fragrant. It has a mysterious aroma.”
Il Vvaleno put the cup in front of Diana and himself and sat down on the sofa opposite.
Let’s get started before Sascha gets here. If we don’t, he’ll think we snacked on the cookies before tea time.
The cookies were missing because she had put them in her pocket.
“Then, let’s eat them.”
Diana’s mouth curved into a smile as she said, “Well, let’s eat it. Let’s eat it.”
When they spend tea time in their rooms, both Il Valeno and Sascha sit down together with Diana to drink tea.
Cain made it a custom two years ago when Sascha had just become Diana’s personal maid of honor.
“When we spend time in the room, I make sure Il Valeno drinks tea with us. I don’t feel comfortable with him standing behind me, and don’t you think tea time is more enjoyable when there is someone to talk to? If Sascha stands there waiting, it looks as if Il Vareno is the only one slacking off, and that’s not good for his appearance. So I would be happy if Sascha would join me for tea.” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
With that, Cain made Sascha sit down. Since one of the sofas in Cain’s room was broken and only three people could sit on it, they had been enjoying tea in Diana’s room since Sascha’s arrival.
The Sairyum tea was a dark reddish-brown tea with a nice aroma and strong taste. It was very different from the tea at Remut Blake, and it was strange to drink it.
“With this tea, it would be good with a sweeter pastry, wouldn’t it?”
“Yes, it does. I will ask them to prepare some sugary sweets for you. We have some more tea.”
While Diana and Il Valeno were having cookies, Sascha knocked and came in.
Sascha lives in the servants’ room that is connected to Diana’s room, so he can come in right away by using the hidden door, but seriously, he goes out into the hallway once and then knocks on the door to come in.
“I’m sorry I’m late. Excuse me.”
Sascha prepared his own tea in the tea cabinet and walked slowly to the sofa and sat down on his usual seat.
“It’s a very fragrant tea,” Sacha said. It has a very strong aroma, like a foreign tea! It has a very foreign flavor.”
“Yes, it is. I think our teas are a little less fragrant and less harsh.”
With that, Diana leaned forward, picked up a cookie, and threw it into her mouth.
Sascha’s eyes widened and her brow furrowed as he saw this.
“Diana, it’s not right to eat a cookie in one bite,” he said. “And you shouldn’t throw it in your mouth with your mouth wide open.”
She was scolded for the way she ate the cookie. Diana knew that she would be scolded again if she responded with something in her mouth, so she gulped down a mouthful and took a sip of tea to refresh her mouth.
“Yes sir.”
“Do not reply with an extended pause. Do not pause. Do not reply with a short, clear, “Yes, sir.”
“Okay…”
Sascha is strict. He may think that in order to be a perfect friend, he must be able to speak clearly and quickly.
Diana asked, “Have you read the picture book?”
Like a young lady, I asked her about her reading progress. Sascha lowered his raised eyebrows and nodded, returning to a straight face.
Sascha scolded Diana tightly when she found her not being like a young lady, but her anger, or heated emotions, didn’t last long.
As soon as she reflects on her behavior and starts over in a ladylike manner, her attitude returns to normal. Diana also liked how quickly she could change her mind.
One of the attendants to my mother, Elise, is a woman who, once she gets angry, stays angry all the time. When she gets angry about something else, she remembers her past mistakes and gets angry about the past as well.
She is usually a mild-mannered and gentle lady-in-waiting, but when Elise tried to take her with Diana, Cain, and Il Vareno, all three of them refused her in the name of discretion.
Compared to this, Sascha is kind to her as long as she plays the role of a world-famous woman, and she is willing to listen to her wishes. The investigation also revealed that Sascha and Diana share a common interest in reading.
From this point, I discussed with Il Valeno a plan to cut to the chase in order to win Sascha over.
Dear Diana. You should not say, “It may not be possible,” but “It may not be possible right away. It is better to say, ‘It may not be possible right away,’ or ‘It may take some time.”
Sascha had corrected her language use. Diana was a little disappointed that she had been able to connect the topic of picture books to the topic of inviting them to practice their language together.
Il Valeno bent down a little to look into Diana’s face and smiled gently.
He said, “I see that you have already followed my earlier warning not to give a stilted response. Diana is great at doing what she is told to do.”
I could see Il Vareno was imitating Cain and praising Diana. Diana slumped a little and smiled a weak smile at an angle that Sascha couldn’t see.
