No, I’m sure there were many such words at my mother’s funeral, but I can’t remember…a single word. The moment she passed away is the only thing that sticks out in my mind. After that…there were many flowers, many people, and the ceremony was grand and orderly. In the midst of it all, time passed in a blur, a mist, a shroud.
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be of any help at that time, my brother…who was in charge of the funeral. I’m sorry I made you face everything alone.
When I think about it, I’m lucky to have my memory as a 30-year working woman back!
Now I’ll be entertaining the Empress, so to speak. I’ve never been in sales in my previous life, but as a previous member of the previous society, how can I not at least be able to entertain guests?
Let’s do this!
“Your Majesty, regarding those so-called delicate young ladies you mentioned earlier. It is to my understanding that silk originally came from beyond the Mountain of Gods. If the people over there are truly barbarians as what those ladies think, then they would not be able to wear something as beautiful as this. After all, for this kind of fabric, you rather need some delicate dexterous, refined hands to process it properly.” (Ekaterina)
“Oh my, ho-ho-ho!” (Empress)
Ekaterina remarked, causing the Empress to laugh for some reason.
“It is exactly as you said, and I also agree to that opinion of yours.” (Empress)
Ooh!
As expected of the Top Star of the Women’s Garden, and it’s even more awesome now that there’s no old lady who dares to bully the young wife anymore!
So cool!!! She’s……she’s like a cool Big Sis.
“I’m glad to see that you and I are kindred spirits. I’m sure we’ll have a lot to talk about together from now on.” (Empress)
“Yes! I’m glad to hear that.” (Ekaterina)
After viewing the garden, we entered the mansion and had lunch served in the balcony overlooking the rose garden. The balcony was almost as large as the entire plot of a one-room apartment where company workers lived in my previous life.
Near the edge of the large balcony, the Yurinova Knights and the Imperial Knights are standing guard, alternately lined up with spears in their hands, looking like a neat row of gorgeous statues.
Near the dining tables, waiters come and go, and sometimes a simple cooking table is brought in where the cooks entertain the guests by flambéing in front of them. There are also poison testers waiting at a small table some distance away, so there would be more space.
(E/N: Flambéing – when the dish is doused with alcohol and lit with flames, typically done for dramatic effect)
The weather was perfect for eating outdoors, with a fresh breeze carrying the scent of roses, and the atmosphere at the table was soothing.
“It is rumored that a powerful dragon lives in Sein territory.” (Ekaterina)
The emperor asks Alexei if there are any problems with the governance of the territory, and he explains that the logging of building materials has been slowed down by the appearance of a giant dragon.
The Empress spoke up when I told her that the dragon was an Ancient Dragon, the King of the North, who was also known to be the oldest being.
“The dragon of Sein is the dragon of the sea. They are called Green Dragons because of their shiny green bodies. Normally, they live in the deep sea and do not interact with people, but when people pollute the sea, they appear and destroy the cities in anger. However, when they change into human form, they are said to be the most beautiful people in the world.” (Empress)
