บท 142: 142- Tea and Sympathies

Jovis, Year of Severus, 15, I.R., the 51st day of Fall, Arenfall

For Prince Arterius, making tea was supposed to be a relaxing process. It was only Stolas who knew about his knack for brewing good tea and even then, he wasn't the type of guy who usually drinks tea. In Stolas' words, he was a natural, not that it mattered to him.

The reason why he learned to brew in the first place was because he always imagined tea brewing like an alchemy experiment. Balancing water and tea leaves plus adding in other ingredients to him seemed like another day in his laboratory.

Who would've thought this hidden talent would come in handy one day during a parley? He certainly couldn't believe it, but there he was. After pulverizing the tea leaves, he then took a fine strainer and placed the powered tea leaves on top of it.
