The Crown Prince’s Maid Brews Tea Too Well

“The palace maids get quite a decent salary. I heard they receive a generous pension upon retirement, too.”

“Yes, I’ll do it!”

Erica, who brews tea better than anyone in the world (special note: a tea enthusiast in her previous life), takes the job of being the crown prince’s personal maid for his tea time to indulge her passion even more. However, contrary to the claim that she only needs to brew tea, meeting the prince’s preferences is incredibly challenging.

“Second-flush tea? Doesn’t that mean it’s made from the second harvest of tea leaves? Isn’t the second harvest of lower quality compared to the first?”

“Count Phlox, you may leave now. I need to discuss this tea with the maid.”

‘You’re being unfair, save me!’

The only comfort for Erica is her substantial salary and her pen pal friend.

[My friend has liked someone for a long time but doesn’t know how to approach her.]

[How about arranging more opportunities for them to meet? As they spend more time together and talk, a way will become clear.]

The day after she advised her dear friend to create opportunities for his friend and his crush to meet more often, she was unexpectedly assigned additional tea time with the crown prince… It must be a coincidence, right?

“What do you think about the empire’s tax policy?”

“Tax policy… is it?”

‘Yeah, there’s no way my kind and sweet pen pal friend would do something like this!’
