A mute duchess and a cold-hearted emperor - the child I picked up in a previous life had become an e

A little after getting engaged, Eleonora became accustomed to life in the castle.

On that day, Alexei and the two of us had a small tea party in the small garden of the castle.The prepared pie is handmade by Eleonora.

"What is today's pie?"

She answers Alexei's question with a smile.

"... the pie with plenty of ham and the dessert berry pie"

Eleonora speaks slowly in the words of a lady.

When the chamberlain cut pie and served them, Alexei lowered all his servants.

"I applied soundproofing magic. You can say whatever you want."

"Thanks, Ham."

"Ah, today's pie looks delicious too."

"Hmm. I'm sure it's good because it's made of materials.Even so, chamberlain, you cut it into eight pieces. "

When Eleonora says so, Alexei looks good.

"What's the matter, Ham?"

"No, the pie wasn't good at arithmetic, so it was kind of weird."

That's right, Pepe.

Eleonora's predecessor, Pie, was taught arithmetic by Ham Chanko and Alexei.

◇ ◇ ◇

In the Magic Forest, Ham wrote a formula on the ground and taught Pie.

"One plus one is two."

Ham placed one acorn on the palm of his hand and the other on the acorn.

"Look, the acorns are two now."

"... that's what happens when it's tight.However, even if it was a dough dough, it was one. It's going to be big. "

"No, don't put the two together.In addition, just add up the numbers. "

"...? I can't separate the water in the glass from the water in the other."

Ham shook his head sideways.

"When it comes to water, I don't think about the volume or the weight, so it's not like that."

"... I don't know. Ola and Ham became one family."

Ham had trouble explaining to Pie, but on the other hand, her words were ticklish and pleasant.

"Yeah, that's right. You can use additions with acorns and mushrooms."

"I'm sorry, Ola. I screwed up my head."

"Yeah, that's not true. Sometimes I don't get 1 +1 = 2, so I got to study."

Really?

"Yeah."

When the pie laughed happily, the ham was caught and laughed.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Pie was right about that time."

Elaonora leans her neck with the cup and saucer on the table.

"1 +1 = 2.What I'm saying is nonsense. "

"Even so, he told me that there are times when it's not."

Really?

"Yes, the pie was smart."

"... Ola, I was so clueless."

With her long eyelashes down, Eleonora leaned ashamed.

"I'm delighted to be complimented, but I'm too smart to say that."

Alexei grabbed Eleonora's hand with her neck flat and her hand stretched under the table.

"Pie wasn't educated, but he knew everything about life in the woods, and even now I remember, he used them very well."

Eleonora's face turns bright red, embarrassed to be held or praised.

"No, if you don't. Tea will cool down.Come on, Alexei, have some pie. "

Thus the tea party between the two continued.
