PERFECT REINCARNATION : Being Invincible in Another World-Chapter 60: Tea time

The Tea time and some misunderstandings.

The Scorching heat during the familiar summoning had flung into a silky evening, the wind felt breezy with a calm in it. The evening was sheathing like a blanket.

Aurelion practiced for a while, doing his usual swings, imbuing his sword with 2 Star Aura now, after some advancement in his swordsmanship.

Then, A maid entered from the side lobby, she bowed and then said "Your Highness, Lady Knightheart has sent me to inform you that she is free right now for a tea session with you."

"...About time." Aurelion expressed. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The maid simply informed and left the training grounds. Aurelion looked at his familiars, the golem was looking at the sky like a guy who was dumped recently, he ignored it and approached the other three at the shades of the sitting area.

"Now, What should I do with you? Can’t just leave you here, maybe Lyra could help." He murmured to himself.

By the God’s grace, Stefan was passing by through the same side lobby where the maid was standing earlier. He spotted Aurelion and came towards the training grounds.

His footsteps spoke Aurelion about his presence, he turned and Stefan was standing behind him. "... Greetings, your highness." Stefan bowed.

"Jackpot " Aurelion muttered.

"Good evening, Stefan. You came at the perfect timing, I have some work for you." Aurelion told him.

"What can this old bones do for you, your highness. Just simply give the command." Stefan responded.

"Nothing major, you see this personal zoo of mine, can you inform Lyra to take care of them and inform the tower servants to feed them." Aurelion explained.

"... As you wish, your highness. I shall make sure personally that all arrangements have been done." Stefan gave a humble response. "... Huh..., Why would you do that? " Aurelion said, "that’s not your job as a helmsman just let Lyra and the other maids know about my wishes, they will do the arrangements on their own." He continued.

Stefan received the orders and approached the familiars, they were surprisingly amicable with him and listened to him, even the golem too. He turned around to leave the grounds when Aurelion called him from the back. "... Wait, Stefan. Where were you all this time? I haven’t seen you inside the tower even a single. You left before, when we arrived here on the first day too." Aurelion asked.

"Ohh it is nothing, your highness. You do not need to be concern about this shaky bones, I was simply taking care of the horses in the stable. And there were many magici—" He paused. "I mean, everything is fine. Just let me know when I should prepare the carriage for departure." He corrected himself.

Aurelion nodded. Stefan bowed again and left with the familiars, he was treating them as little children so it looked like a grandpa was on a picnic with his little grandkids.Aurelion left for his appointment with Evelyn too.

He entered the wide veranda kind of place Inside the tower perimeters but outside the main tower, it was beautifully decorated where they had make animals like peacock, butterfly and deer etc with flowers. Not only that, there were actual deers grazing in the area too.

Aurelion eyes focused on a swing, white color, not very lavish but looked decent. Behind that swing a table with some chairs were placed in a white pod made on a nice white marble podium. Evelyn was sitting on that table, her personal maid along side her.

Aurelion climbed the stairs of the podium where she was sitting. He walked up to her, she stood up and greeted him while lifting her skirt gently. She was wearing a dark blue skirt today, whith flowery pattern and patches of violet dressings.

"... Good evening, your highness. I would be delighted to have you for a tea session, also forgive me for taking so much time today. " Evelyn Greeted.

"Good evening, Lady Evelyn. There is nothing for you to apologize, It was me who wished for this interaction so one sidedly. I am grateful for you to take out some time for me." He responded.

Aurelion sat on the table, shifted his magician robe so, tea doesn’t spill on it. Evelyn gestured her personal maid to serve tea for both of them. She complied, brew the tea, served the aromatic bright lustrous tea in some top notch crockery set. And then she quietly left the table.

"... I believe that you must have wanted to discuss in a private sitting after last night chaos. May I ask the reason for such sudden wish of interaction?" Evelyn asked.

"The truth is..... I wanted to know your views on the engagement, no the whole arrangements of the marriage." Aurelion answered.

"My views? I do not exactly understand the intention of that question. Do you by any chance have a negative opinion on our engagement?" She shot back with her question of her own.

"... Ohh no, nothing of that sort. I guess, this could lead to some misinterpretation. This one is on me. To explain you about my intentions more thoroughly, I wanted to ask if this arrangement is being pressed on you or goes against your will." Aurelion explained.

What Aurelion had forgot in the midst of the whole arrangement chaos was the fact that he was talking to a five year old girl. No matter how much of a privileged, distinguished and noblesse education she received, the conversation he was having with her required a maturity which comes with experience, age and lot more of interactions.

Thus this led to a big misunderstanding on the version of Evelyn. Her next words held more weight than even she herself realized.

"Your highness, are you suggesting that the Knightheart Duchy is some thug and is not worthy of being married in Royalty." She said.

"I get it now, you do not want to marry me cause you think I am not up to par in skills and worthy enough to stand along side you who is considered a child prodigy."
