Getting your hands on someone else's leader is a form of diplomacy!

Chapter 421 Do these two people think they are insignificant?

"Is this outfit okay?"

Liu Bai looked at the clothes that Rita and Ye Lan had prepared for him.

Well, few people might think of Ye Lan in this regard, but without a doubt, as a special agent skilled in disguise, Ye Lan has excellent taste in clothing.

"Actually, as long as you don't wear a hood, any clothes you wear are fine."

Yelan admired her masterpiece.

The black crane cloak with gold trim was originally one of the disguises she always carried with her.

It's surprisingly suitable for Liu Bai to wear now.

Surprisingly, he has a kind of domineering aura.

...and he gives off the feeling of being a very large man.

...This must be a feeling from her lover's perspective, right?

"Actually, I feel that our styles might not match..."

Rita smiled.

An Eastern monarch has been lured into a Western-style tea party.

It looks really strange, doesn't it?

"You're making me less confident."

Liu Bai pursed his lips at Rita's joke.

"Although it's not me who really needs confidence."

It was Funina who begged him for help.

"I'll leave the tea party to you, Rita."

"Leave the etiquette to me. You just need to win over Ms. Funina's heart in a normal way."

"Hey! Don't make it sound like a social gathering!"

"Even if you speak righteously now, when Ms. Funina actually offers herself to you, you'll still 'reluctantly' accept it in the end, won't you?"

"..."

Speechless.

"Sigh, men."

Rita sighed with a mocking sadness.

How should I put it? This kind of condemnation is really quite damaging.

……

"Sorry for the waitting."

"No, no, no, no... Mr. Liu Bai, your presence here is truly an honor!"

Oh no... I messed up!

As soon as Funina said those words, she realized she had made a mistake.

(Oh no... Will this make Mr. Liu Bai think I'm dissatisfied with the room's amenities?)

"Lord Liu Bai, please have a seat."

Claude seemed to have noticed Frynn's misuse of words and took the initiative to continue the conversation.

"Navia, make tea for Lord Liu Bai."

"Ah."

Navia's answer was also somewhat stiff.

This was probably the first time she had attended a tea party as a "servant".

However, as a young lady of high birth, Navia wouldn't make a mistake when it comes to making tea.

"Forehead……"

Looking at Liu Bai in his black crane-feather cloak, Fu Ningna felt her lips tremble slightly.

Such a strong sense of oppression... Ugh, isn't this like facing a super big boss head-on?

The tea party setting was chosen intentionally to avoid making the atmosphere too formal, but was this entirely anticipated?

Liu Bai: "..."

Liu Bai remained silent, watching Fu Ningna.

Then the pressure on Funina's shoulders increased.

We're doomed!

Let's just tear off our clothes and do a striptease to lighten the mood!

Fu Ningna was a little devastated.

As for the culprit, Liu Bai... he simply didn't know what to say.

This was Liu Bai's first time participating in such an event, and he had no idea what the process was like.

Furthermore, since Rita was in charge of the etiquette and formalities, Liu Bai had even less to say.

“Ms. Funina, this is my master’s first time attending a tea party, and he may have been slightly impolite. Please forgive him.”

Rita also noticed the tense atmosphere and took the initiative to ease it.

After all, Clarinde... she seems like the kind of old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to ease the atmosphere.

(Is this a disclaimer? Does that mean Mr. Liu Bai can use the excuse that it was his first time attending a tea party and he knew nothing about it as a reason for whatever he does to me?)

Under pressure, Funina has developed paranoia.

(What if Mr. Liu Bai suddenly wants to take me by force? What if he wants to take Clarin and Navia with him? What if he's ruthless after taking me by force?)

"Furina, you don't need to be so nervous."

Liu Bai looked at Funina.

He didn't have mind-reading abilities, but his observations and the clues from Huanlong told him that Funina seemed very nervous...

"If you have something to say, just say it... Although saying this might spoil the atmosphere of the tea party, isn't this a political tea party after all?"

"Ah... um... well, that's true."

Fu Ningna was still stiff.

"Um... Mr. Liu Bai, if you're going to make a move, just make it on me!"

(Wait! That's not what I meant!)

I blurted out the jumbled thoughts that had been running through my mind!

Funinna's pressure spiked again.

"……what?"

Claude and Navia voiced their doubts before Liu Bai did.

"No! What I mean is, if you touch those two, you can't touch me—"

Snapped!

Funina slapped herself.

Why can't I control my mouth?!

Liu Bai watched as Funina began scratching her head.

Is this tea party really normal? Why does Funina seem more nervous than I am?

—Funingna was indeed more nervous than Liu Bai.

Now, Funina felt like a courtier serving a tyrant.

"Lady Funina..."

Clarin and Navia are now looking at Furynna strangely.

Liu Bai thought for a moment, and then immediately began to take off his clothes.

(Is it really going to start forcibly taking over?) Funina's heart skipped a beat.

"Does this make you feel any better?"

Liu Bai handed the cloak he had taken off to Clarinde.

Clarind accepted it respectfully, shook it twice, and hung it on the coat rack.

As for the flying robe that had been draped over it, Liu Bai simply draped it back over his own shoulders.

"...It's much better now."

Wearing only a wool lining, Liu Bai didn't feel as oppressed.

It felt like he went from being a tyrant to the friendly older brother next door.

...Is this the power of clothing?

"My apologies for that..."

After adjusting her mindset, Funina nodded slightly to Liu Bai in apology.

Navia then brought over the tea she had just brewed.

"Please, gentlemen."

After serving tea to the two of them, Navia stood with Claude.

Then, Navia whispered something.

"Hey, what did Funina mean by what she just said?"

Clarin remained silent, clearly having no intention of whispering with Navia.

But his gaze still briefly swept over Funina.

She was also curious about what Funina meant by that sentence.

……

"Ah... finally, finally it's over..."

After Liu Bai left, Funina collapsed backward.

"Can't you be this nervous even when having afternoon tea with a gentleman? Can't you, Funina, show a little more of the composure befitting a deity?"

Navia began to tease.

Although they act like servants in public, in their private room, the three of them are more like best friends.

"What do you know! This is politics!"

Funina spoke with a wronged expression.

"And sometimes, Mr. Liu Bai would scrutinize me with his merciless eyes, as if he were judging my worth!"

"Have it?"

Navia looked at Clorind.

"Not found."

Claude shook her head.

Navia looked at Funina again.

Are you experiencing hallucinations due to excessive stress?
