A divorced evil lady bakes cakes

Chapter 15

“What? No. It’s not me, but Mrs. Melvin.”

“Did she say she saw it herself?”

“Not that, but count Lynell told his wife…”

“Is Count Lynell afraid to see the scene?”

“Yes, yes? Oh, well, I heard that the Count also heard from a maid.”

“She must be one of those people who witnessed the scene, right? What’s her name?” “Well, that’s…”

After several questions and answers, such as a pre-answer question, the Marquess, who answered, bite her lips with cold sweat.

Only then did the ladies who grasped the atmosphere, turn white and bit their mouths.

Calix was satisfied and smiled.

“So the maid who you didn’t even know, told the count, the count told his wife, and she was talking as if she had seen it.”

Calix’s smile was pleasantly beautiful.

A beautiful smile blooms as the blue eyes, which are clearer and deeper than the lake, fold slightly.

But the ladies, who saw the smiling faces, all turned pale and curled their heads.

“Your Highness, please forgive me—”

(TN: I’ve been using ‘your Grace’ for Raymond and your Highness’ for Calix, bc Calix is a grand duke)

They forgot about his cute smile, but he was the only Grand Duke in my country.

Raymond was also high in terms of title.

In addition, he was openly favored by the emperor.

Calix warned with a chill laugh.

“If you want to live, don’t say anything that’s useless.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Calix left the ladies who were sobbing and begging for forgiveness and walked away

I felt like I had done something useless, but I didn’t want people who didn’t know to say anything behind their backs.

This is why I hate the capital. Such ridiculous nonsense. What lover?

The palace was a place where countless city servants and maids roamed. There were countless guards and soldiers in the palace, officials and nobles come and go all day long.

Even Erin lived in the palace where the Emperor stayed.

Can you enjoy the beautiful Imperial Palace without going crazy?

If you really wanted to hide and meet your lover, you would rather use the secret room in your palace.

Besides, Erin was a frustratingly quiet and patient lady. She was never a person to do such a thing.

Calix was blowing out the window in the hallway, overlooking the garden.

“Your Highness.”

Bill, his subordinate, found Calix and ran to him.

“Why? What’s the matter?”

Bill came up in a hurry and said,

“This is news from the South. Your Majesty is coming to the capital.”

Erin stood in the shop in a plain monochrome dress.

The empty shop was neatly arranged.

The tables and chairs are in their respective positions, and the vase with small flowers on each table is neatly placed.

The glass display case next to the counter was full of pre-made edible cakes, muffins and pies.

다.

Macaron, stacked like a mountain. Apple, plum, and blueberry pie cut into pieces. Princess cake filled with sweet and fresh cream, and fluffy muffins that swell up nicely.

The sight of it made me feel like I was getting a sweet taste.

.

The display case and storage box were previously used to store food, so that the food would not go bad.

I really wanted to place a dessert for sale next to the checkout counter, so I was really happy when I discovered that there was magic.

Originally, I was going to set the window side with a dessert model, but I was so busy preparing for the opening that it was still empty.

It was okay, though. It’s not a bad idea to look at the guests and pick out desserts for the show window.

Erin looked carefully at each of the desserts in the glass walls of the display case and then turned to Melly.

“Now, are you ready?”

“Yes, I’m ready.”

.

Melli also firmly agreed with a cute face. Obviously, this seemed to be ready.

Tables are all ready, desserts, coffee and tea, and even small changes at the checkout counter.

Erin walked slowly and opened the door leading to the street.

It was finally the day to open the store.

The sky was clear without a cloud. The signboard hanging on the door of the store was brightly lit. The signboard is beautiful

The sign had the name of the shop in beautiful cursive style.

(Lemon Tree Cafe)

Even though it wasn’t summer yet, the streets in broad daylight were quite hot.

Fiona, who runs a cosmetics store in the city, was walking down the street, fanning her hands repeatedly.

Today was a long holiday, so she stopped by her friend’s house and came back.

As she walked along the quiet residential area, She saw a strange shop on one side.

It was a shop with a new signboard on a shiny wiped glass window. Looking at the signboard, it’s a cafe.

‘When did this place opened?’

There were not many shops around here, because it was a quiet residential area. I’ve never seen a cafe or coffee house.

‘Should I go in?

I wanted to have some iced tea in the hot weather. Fiona opened the door without much thought.

The shop was neatly and beautifully decorated like a newly opened shop.

There was an elegant carpet on the floor and a vase decorated with beautiful flowers on the table covered with white tablecloths.

Fiona, looking around the store, caught something in the glass showcase next to the counter.

The glass was full of colorful cakes, pies, and muffins. There was a kind of cake I’d never seen before. It was a feast of all kinds of desserts.

‘It looks pretty good, doesn’t it?’

. Fiona sat down and turned to the menu. There were many kinds of desserts, including coffee and tea, on the menu.

Still, I didn’t want to buy a cake earlier. I was thinking of going out for a simple drink.

“Well, I’d like a glass of iced tea, please.”

After a while, a cool iced tea in a long glass came out.

.

But the cup wasn’t all. Next to it is three scones in a small plate.

“What’s with the Scones?”

“Opening service. Try it.”

‘Oh, it’s the first day of business. I’m lucky.’

I was actually very hungry. Fiona hesitated for a moment before reaching for a small scone on a plate.

As soon as I took a bite, the hard-looking scone broke gently, spreading the savory aroma of butter inside my mouth.

Every time I chewed, the soft bread melted gently at the tip of my tongue.

Unlike ordinary scones, these scones were savory and soft.

Fiona hurriedly ate one whole thing.

“I’ve never had such a delicious scone!”

“I added cream to make it smoother.”

The owner of the cafe who had white blonde hair smiled with a proud look.

Fiona looked at the cafe owner’s face.

She was a young woman in her mid to late 20s. She was dressed in monotonous clothes, but she looked neat and beautiful.

‘Are you a clerk, not an owner?’

Fiona was staring blankly, and a white-haired woman brought her jam from a small plate.

“Would you like some strawberry jam?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Fiona spread strawberry jam on the yellowish-baked scone.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, the sweet and strong strawberry flavor was caught between the scones.

Fresh and sweet strawberry jam combined with savory butter flavored bread. It tasted great.

Fiona held a cup with a refreshing scent and drank a lot of cold iced tea.

Iced tea was delicious, too. It was a cool iced tea with peach nectar, and the sour and sweet taste of the fragrant peach is better.

With each sip, a refreshing peach flavor and a subtle black tea scent refreshed in my mouth.

Fiona, impressed by the taste, decided to try something else.

“Well, I’ll order something called milky milk.

I’ve only heard the name from a long time ago, and I’ve never eaten it. I couldn’t eat such a formal dessert until I went to the right dining table.

A platinum-haired woman brought me the milk from a small dish.

It looked like a layer of sweet custard cream that melts gently in the mouth amid crispy pastry.

“Wow…… that looks appetizing.”

Fiona carefully cut the corner with a fork.

The layers of pastries and rich cream were cut into small pieces.

As soon as I cut a piece and put it in my mouth, my face lights up by the savory pastry, which is thinly baked, moist with a soft, sweet cream.

The cream melted away from the tip of the tongue with crispy pastries.

“It’s really delicious…”
