Capítulo 15: is that not a bit rude?

Though on another note I had only used it twice since the security had chased me away almost catching me on the second try, the normal one had not been bad but if one had to compare it was subpar lacking so many essentials.

Though my eating habit was passable, it was still not the best.

Merely learnt from copying those humans around first the most common of the two chopsticks and spoon, after the knife and fork for those who looked and spoke extremely different from the common humans.

Did they not say that one should not speak while at the dining table?

Pushing my bowl aside since in truth, even though I was still not even I am close to being satisfied, I decided I should stop.

Most of the dishes the females ate were extremely few while I had already downed four bowls.

"W-while I ha-d-d be-been led around by the maid Hu-Hua, everything shown so far was extremely pleasant,"

"Mmm... It is good, my second son Hyuen have informed me that your voice is disused, is it the reason why you stutter?"

The mistress asked in a concerned tone. Using a damp warm cloth presented to her still giving off slight steam, to gently wipe her mouth, then turn to wash both hands in a basin of slightly scented water presented, followed by a small cup where she downed the contents the maid in question blocked my view and I heard the spitting.

Oh, so I had to learn such a complicated thing.

Why not just go to the bathroom and complete everything?

Doing this at the table where one must dine. Is that not a bit rude?

humans were truly complicated creatures.

"Y-yes," I replied smiling at Hua, who returned with a tray filled with eight cups and a large teapot.

"This is the barley tea, it has been freshly picked and steeped for two days in the morning dewdrops gathered from multiple of our crops, the aroma is exceptional though not as pleasant as the rosebud or bamboo tea it is fine, pour the tea Hua'

"Yes, first mistress!"

Hua did as commanded, pouring the tea. The smell was extremely pleasant regardless,

"Young benefactor the barley tea has a nutty flavour to it with the underlying toasty taste. It is known to have beneficial antioxidant properties and antibacterial."

I beamed at her, taking the small cup with both hands and took a sip, releasing a sigh.

It was nothing like the bone root tea, but the flavour gave me a relaxing feel.

"It seems you like it, Gravatrix,"

"I do,"

I replied quickly, pausing at the familiar voice of Hyuen opening my eyes; I looked directly at him since I was seated directly opposite.

"It is good, then I will have my manservant prepare some ready roasted barley grain for you to have directly on hand,"

"T-t-thank you, h-h-hy- first family-"

"No need for formalities Hyuen is fine, after all, we have been acquainted quite well,"

I blinked, wondering what this human male was implying. Truly, were we?

"Hyuen leave her, don't you see you are making the poor child nervous,"

Another voice said, of course, like Hyuen I could never forget this voice. After all, he had clearly insulted me earlier without any reason.

This first young master from the first family," Hyemi, that is enough! Gravatrix please ignore him he is a bit... Aggressive."

Nodding to the first madam, I listened while the brothers spoke up and the others said a few words.

The dinner came to an end with my knowledge further extended. Perhaps it can not be extended but basically detailed since I was already aware that:

This family had no elders blood related or otherwise unless you count the first madam, but even then she is not old enough to be called such. Each of the family's males was already deceased besides those present, the wives as well leaving the first mistress alone, the two females were one the official fiance to Hyuem a third born daughter to the official wife, her family were wealthy but as a second class family, they were not worth much still since the Pingui family tend to be on a decline they did not have much say in the women they choose to marry.

The other is the firstborn daughter of a first rate family who had lost most of its power, the daughter had oftentimes visited with her father when they were on equal foot with the Pingui family but since declining they were no longer worthy plus with the first mistress leading the family she had opted for associating with outsiders less.

"Miss Gravatrix, I will bid you goodnight tomorrow I will be here since the first mistress have assigned me officially as your personal maid."

"Mmm..."

Returning to my room, I looked at the sprawled child. So his name now will be officially Tau.

Taking a quick shower, I then slipped into the bed to sleep. Tomorrow will be interesting.
