Just as Scott was distracted, the system (author's end) popped up.

It folded its arms across its chest and suddenly said:

"Cooking food? This is a dangerous signal.

"Forget it, you're the kind of person who can burn down the kitchen just by cooking noodles."

Scott: “…”

Sheen buried his head in the packing box.

He was snickering.

Compared to the young master's character of never doing any housework, telling a little lie is a harmless hobby.

After laughing, he took out the brewed coffee from the other boxes.

"Crash..."

The coffee slowly flows into the cup, exuding an enticing aroma.

Scott felt pity for Sheen as he watched her skilled performance (he mistakenly thought that Sheen had not had a good life before the age of 13 and that was why he went to the Magic Tower), and stood by and muttered:

"I can let the maid do the coffee pouring."

Sheen turned his back to Scott and rolled his eyes:

Impes's maids don't have Sheen's skilled latte art skills - he originally wanted the maids to help cover for him, but unfortunately they can't learn it!

There was no other way, and Sheen could only come up with this excuse:

"If I'm having afternoon tea alone, I won't have anyone else standing around me."

Under Scott's suspicious gaze, Sheen picked up the prepared milk flower and skillfully made the latte art:

"It's the same even in the Duke of Haines's mansion."

Scott was stunned: Isn’t Sheen’s operation a bit ooc?

"Oh. I see..."

He looked at the coffee that Sheen put in front of him and had to say that the latte art was beautiful.

The action is so skillful that it can be best described as effortless.

The whole afternoon tea is not large in scale and there are only two seats.

The two seats are not facing each other, but are side by side and at a certain distance.

"sit down."

Sheehan motioned to the seat to his right and asked Scott to sit next to him.

Today's afternoon tea is a light tea:

The three-tiered carved porcelain plates contained scones, cupcakes, Medellin cakes, light cream cookies, slices of cake with fruit jam, and coffee with sugar and milk. The silverware was used.

There were two silver teapots on the table, and it looked like they contained different types of coffee.

Anyway, it's just two of us eating together, so let's not worry about it.

To ease his inner tension, Scott drank some coffee first:

This cup of coffee has a full taste, rich aroma and is intoxicating.

With milk, it becomes latte.

Scott put down his teacup and commented:

"Hmm...it's coffee that suits my taste. I remember you didn't seem to like drinking it this way."

In the setting, Sheen prefers American coffee, or at worst Dirty (espresso with iced milk).

Sheen prefers to drink cold things, and can drink cold water with ice cubes even in the middle of winter - this is a setting that Yuye has a deep impression of.

"Coincidentally, Jiaming also likes to drink this way in real life.

He didn't drink something cold on purpose to comply with the OOC setting."

"Yes."

Sheen looked down at the Americano in the cup (the kind that is just coffee without anything added), and he felt that this was the essence of coffee.

"Are you asking me how I know you like lattes? Please, I can get the answer by asking the butler. There's no need for me to ask you."

"That's true..."

Scott was slightly speechless.

He really wanted to ask Sheen how he knew all this. After all, he should be the only one who knew about this setting.

But he neglected to ask the housekeeper.

However, Sheen turned his head slightly - oh my god, he almost gave himself away...

Fortunately, I was quick-witted (the reader’s vest was welded).

The reader concludes:

"Scott is much more stable than Eric, so it's normal for him to talk less."

Plus, Scott is now being trained as the successor... I'd better stop using sweet words.

Scott forked a scone and put it in his mouth: it tasted very special, better than the chef's skill.

There are tangerine peel, dark chocolate, and red wine...

"I really want to learn this kind of cooking magic!"

Scott (Yuye) appears calm on the surface, but he is devastated on the inside.

However, the reader channel and the author channel are parallel.

To conquer a person, first conquer his stomach.

Seeing that Scott had no expression on his face but his mouth kept moving, Sheen knew that he had won the first battle.

He held the cup of hot coffee in his hands, thinking about how to get more information.

After a while, he raised the cup to his lips and began to ask about what happened last night:

"Are you okay? I asked, but there were few people around at the time, so no one heard it."

Of course, they were talking about Stella's action of screaming last night (which scared Sean half to death).

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." Scott replied calmly.

It was half past eleven, the shift change time for the night shift servants, and Sean ran out without being noticed by anyone.

"Of course, it's not as simple as 'having a nightmare':"

As for why Scott went to bed so early last night, it was because using blood magic for too long would make people uncomfortable.

He lifted the magic early and fell asleep...

It may be the combination of physical fatigue and mental stimulation from the novel that led to this kind of dream.

Scott (Yuye) lowered his head and drank his latte, thinking:

I wish I were Stella in the story, but I turned myself into this horrible appearance just to fill Scott's position.

That is indeed unfair to the original Stella.

"Ah, yes, you're only 15 and you're patrolling the border. It's really not easy to do such an overloaded task." (Sheen)

"I started taking them over when I was admitted as a knight at the age of 12." (Scott)

Scott held the teacup and drank the latte with his eyes closed.

(Inner thoughts) "To be honest, if it weren't for the book, I wouldn't have thought that Scott's childhood would be so miserable under my passing..."

Yuye certainly remembered that what she wrote in the mediation game was "Scott had a tragic childhood: he lost his mother at the age of 4, and his father's face was completely disfigured at the age of 7."

Naturally, she didn't expect that Scott hated her so much.

......

"Scott's parents are still alive and well, and he's not being hounded by Haynes anymore.

Does he have any obsession?"

Sheehan was curious about Scott's nightmares:

"What did you dream about? Can you tell me?"

"(Is he testing me?)"

Scott seemed to have misunderstood Sheehan's point:

Because Yuye set Sheen as the only one who can reverse time, that is to say, Sheen may remember some memories from the original work.

Scott thought about it.

Since Scott in "The Game of Negotiation" finally chose to confess to Sheen, and Mrs. Nora also mentioned the problem of her disagreement with Lisa some time ago:

Then just make it clear and dispel Sheen's idea.

"Uh, about the dispute between my mother and my aunt,"

Scott clenched his right hand into a fist helplessly, then knocked his head a few times.

"Lisa, now Duchess of Haines, broke into my home when I was four and tried to kill my mum and possibly me."

! !

(This is exactly the same as the ending of "The Game of Mediation" that Sheen said in front of the emperor.)

The system (author's end) lying on Scott's shoulder had pupils of shock:

"I told you to be careful about what you are doing, and you are going to reveal your cards now?"
