Dragon King's Harem Chapter 314. Afternoon Tea I
On the other side of the palace.
The ladies gathered in the parlor, a cozy room filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers. Plush velvet chairs lined the space, offering comfort to anyone who needed it. The room was designed for indulgence—everything about it screamed luxury. Tables were loaded with all sorts of treats—candied fruits, honey cakes, pastries that looked too delicate to touch, yet there they were. Crystal bowls overflowed with nuts and berries, their vivid colors standing out against the dark wood furniture.
In the center of it all, a steaming pot of tea sat on a low table. The scent was a mix of herbs and spices, the special blend of the castle's tea master—someone who guarded their recipes as carefully as the kingdom's treasure. Delicate porcelain cups, decorated with intricate designs, were ready and waiting for someone to pick them up.
"Your Majesty is surely busy," Jyne declared, plopping down on one of the plush sofas with an audible huff. Her fingers clutched a delicate teacup, the fragrant steam curling around her face. They had hoped for a leisurely afternoon tea with the king, but duty called him back.
Sela chimed in. "He is a king. We shouldn't complain about that." Her words carried a note of caution.
Jyne shot a glance at Evelina, who lounged beside her. "You are lucky because you can spend time with him," she teased, a touch of envy coloring her words.
Evelina's eyes crinkled at the corners as she admitted, "Yes. And I feel grateful for that." A faint smile played on her lips.
Sela, indulging in a slice of cake with practiced elegance, chimed in, "Evelina has been waiting for His Majesty for a very long time. I think that is normal for her." Her words were accompanied by a knowing nod. The fork in her hand conveyed the cake from plate to mouth.
Marissa, sitting with a casual lean, interjected, shaking her head. "I wouldn't be as patient as you, Evelina."
Jyne suddenly diverted the conversation in a whimsical direction. "I wonder what His Majesty's face looks like when he sleeps." The room fell into a momentary hush.
Marissa leaned back, a contemplative look on her face. "It's a tricky game, isn't it? Being a part of this world. You never really get to choose your company."
"Sela, don't get it. His Majesty spared her life; wouldn't it be better if she behaved better?" Sela pondered, curiosity flickering in her eyes.
"Also, His Majesty is a fine man. I mean, how many kings are there who are handsome, young, strong, powerful, and wise like him?" Jyne chimed in, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Don't forget how he behaves. He's prideful but can be sweet sometimes. You know, some kings look stiff and treat their wives only as breeding tools," she added, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Exactly!" Sela exclaimed, nodding in agreement.
"For a warrior, sometimes dying in honor is better than being the enemy’s prisoner," Evelina offered, her words carrying solemn wisdom, as if she had glimpsed into the complexities of Glasha's mind.
Marissa countered, "She is now her enemy's wife, not a prisoner."
"That's worse. Let her take her time to calm herself down," Evelina insisted, her voice gentle yet firm.
