CHAPTER 7

We went inside the famous Cordelia bakery and its cafe, it's pretty cramped here since there's so many people inside.

It sure is popular.

"Welcome! Are you here for the cafe?"

One of the staffs went to us as soon as we went in.

"Yes"

I replied. I can smell the sweets all around here.

Every kinds of sweets are displayed on the counter. The whole decoration of the shop consist of flower patterns; a lot of different plants are here for decoration too.

"Alright, you're all nobles right? Please follow me young masters and ladies"

She told us to follow her so we did. It's also pretty crowded in the noble area and you can see the great difference between the two areas.

The noble's area is obviously fancier and has more class.

"So...what are you ordering?"

She asked us after she gave each of us their cafe's menu. Even the menu was designed fancy.

"Can I have the limited edition matcha milk tea?"

Anne was the first one to order. The staff just nodded and writes her order on a small notepad.

"A caramel flavored muffin"

David said pointing at his menu.

I thought he said he just wants to tag along?

"Just black tea"

Arthur calmly said before closing his menu.

He is really not a fan of sweets since he didn't even look at the page where the pastries are and just looked at the drinks.

"What about you, young lady?"

The staff turns to me waiting for my order. I inhaled for a bit and pointed all of my order.

"Can I order the chocolate cookies, double-dutch chocolate, chocolate filled cupcakes and chocolate shake?"

I told the woman taking our order while I'm swiftly shifting my index finger to all my orders.

"Of course, young lady! Is that all?"

She looks a bit surprised at first but just smiled.

"Oh! Can you add some chocolate pudding?"

I finally said before closing the menu and giving it back to her.

"Yes!"

"Thank you"

She bows to us before leaving. David was looking at me with his mouth slightly open. His emerald green eyes looks displeased.

"What?"

I narrowed my eyes to him which made him shake his head.

"I shouldn't be surprised, my sister is a glutton after all"

He scratched his light blonde hair before sighing with a small left smirk.

"Who are you calling glutton?"

I gave him a slight glare. He just laughed at me.

We waited for our order to come but we only talk about random topics like gifts.

"Wind? So yours is elemental type too?"

I asked Arthur who just nodded after he demonstrates his gift by showing a small amount of wind to us like a fan.

"How about mine? You won't ask mine?"

David asked us, obviously waiting for us to ask him. This show off.

"Okay...Why don't you show us yours brother?"

I gave him a forced smile.

"I can control things like plants"

He boasted.

"Ohhh! You're gift is the ability to control anything related to plants?"

Anne asked David who proudly nodded.

"It's more like a nature-type gift"

He corrected.

"Let me show you"

His head turns to a vine plant that was wrapped on the door nearby and focuses his eyes on it.

The vines grew longer and bigger,  some of it even went on the floor.

"See?"

He lifts his chin up.

"Kyaaaa!!"

We heard a loud scream from a girl who just entered after she stumbled on the floor. It seems that she tripped on the vine that David used his gift with.

"I didn't do anything"

David looks away and whistled. I looked back at the girl who just tripped and saw that she's a little girl who looks like she is in the same age as me.

"Oh no! Young miss!"

One of the staffs went to the girl who just giggled after she tripped.

The girl looks cute compared to average girls her age. She has shoulder-length golden blonde curly hair and brown eyes similar to mine. Her eyelashes are really long too.

Now I'm getting bitter for looking like this. It's not that I'm angry for my looks but don't people who usually gets to transmigrate in novels are exceedingly pretty?

Why is my character looks average? I'm cute but not as cute as her!

I'm ranting about my looks and see the girl leaning on the vine she tripped at.

"I'm alright! It looks like the vine grew well"

She looks at the vine and examined it.

"See what you did, brother-?"

I turned my head to look at my brother and my sentence was cut off when I saw him staring at the cute girl who just tripped.

The flowers on the vase that was on our table blooms beautifully. I can see a small blush on my brother's cheeks and even his ears are flushed.

I looked back at the girl who was talking at the staff like they are familiar with each other before I look back again to David.

'My type are golden blonde girls!'

Don't tell me...he developed a crush on her??

"Brother...don't tell me you like her?"

I teased him which made him looked to me flusher than before.

"Wha-no! Well...she is cute but...ah! Whatever!"

It's obvious that he likes her. Me and Anne giggled while Arthur smirked at him.

"Isn't she your type David?"

"What? Even you, Arthur!?"

Arthur also teased his friend which made David surprised.

The girl looks noble but she's not wearing anything that fancy. The staffs keeps calling her young miss so maybe she's-?

"Isn't she the baron's daughter?"

I heard a middle-aged woman asked the man with her who might be her husband.

"Yes dear, those golden blonde hair is the same as the baron's"

Her husband responded before drinking his tea.

"I heard the baron had been bed-ridden after he was diagnosed by the doctors with an incurable disease"

The woman said after wiping her mouth with a clean napkin.

"I heard he sold some of his properties in order to pay for his medical expenses, his wife even borrows money from other nobles"

She continued.

"Baron Corvin Si Flora's wife, baroness Marie is a great cook! She used some of their money to build this shop and cafe in order to help her husband's expenses! Even her staffs here was taught by her"

After they talked about the baron and all, they just talk about something random.

Our order came on the right time. I excitedly took a fork to taste the chocolate cake first.

"Mmm~! So good!"

I squealed as I savor the chocolatey flavor of it. I even put one of my hands into my cheek and close my eyes.

The cake is even better than the cakes that the chefs from our manor makes. I understand why people likes to go here so much!

"Matcha~"

Anne also squealed at the milk tea she ordered. Arthur was quietly sipping his tea and was satisfied with it's taste since a small faint smile can be seen from him.

"It's brewed well"

He compliment the tea before drinking it again. David on the other hand looks like he likes the muffin he ordered but he tried to keep himself from squealing. Even how much he tries to denies it, it's obvious that he likes it.

...

"Ahhh...I think I ate too much"

I put my face on the table after I stuffed my face with all those sweets. My stomach feels horrible.

"Are you alright, Delie?"

Anne asked me worriedly.

Do I look like I'm alright?

"That's what you get for eating too much"

David sneered at me with his two arms together. One of his eyebrows are raised, he reminds me of mother when she's about to scold me.

"How cute"

Arthur quietly said before giggling. His comment was actually out of place which made us look at him but he looks away after he realized that we are looking at him.

Uhhh...what?

"I need to go to the rest room"

I told them. I can't take it anymore.

I went down from my chair and asked a staff where the rest room is.

"It's that way, young lady"

She pointed at a small door that was away from us.

"Thank you"

"No problem"

I quickly headed to the rest room to do my business (you know what I mean).

"Success"

I said to myself after I went outside the restroom and wipe my hands using some clean wipes.

I love wipes.

"Delia! So this is where you are?"

A beautiful woman suddenly yelled at the young girl who tripped earlier. She looks surprised to see the woman.

For a moment, I thought she was calling for me.

"M-mother!"

Her mother went to her and sighed. She looks like she was about to cry.

Looking at the two, they bear a striking resemblance to each other. The woman looks like the spitting image of the young girl except that she's an adult.

Their only difference is that the woman has reddish-brown long hair.

"Why did you sneak out of the house again?"

"Mother, I...I just want to help the bakery and cafe! I'm sorry"

The young girl named Delia told her mother while looking down and holding her dress.

"It's alright honey, I'm sorry for yelling...your father is looking for you, I know you want to help but your father needs you for now"

Her mother puts a hand on her shoulders and wipes her small tears.

Aww, she's so sweet compared to my hot-headed mother. If mother were the one who was looking for me, she might drag me home and pinch my cheeks.

"Father?...sure, I'll go back home"

Delia nodded and took her mother's hand.

"I'm sorry for the commotion everyone, I'm just worried about my daughter...please continue on"

Delia and her mother bowed down to all of the customers before leaving. So she went to sneak out of their house just to help their business? What a kind girl she is.

She was scolded by her mother for helping while I'm getting scolded when I'm slacking off. I understand why mother is always angry.

I went back to our table and noticed David with a gloomy aura. The flower on the vase that was on a full bloom earlier has now wilted.

He looks sad because the girl already left.

"I was planning to give her some flowers..."

He sighed still gloomy.

"Delia..."

It's kind of weird knowing that we almost have the same name. But isn't Cordelia her full name? Delia might just be a nickname.

"So the girl likes to sneak out too, huh?"

Anne said with her head resting on her two hands grinning.

"It seems like she sneaks out to help their business"

I told her.

"Oh! So she sneaks out to help? Not to secretly do some things your parents don't like?"

She's referring to herself.

"I actually invited her to the tea party but she didn't come, it seems like she's not into those kind of things"

Anne told me. That's why there's a lot of empty tables in the tea party.

"Anyway, let's pay now! Excuse me, bill out please"

The staff earlier gave us the amount of bill and we took some bronze coins from our pocket and put it on the small plate where you put the payment.

By the way, bronze coins are the lowest currency, silver is in the middle and gold is the highest.

It's like one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred bronze coins. So one gold coin is equivalent to ten thousand bronze coins.

...

We went home and my brother David, is still gloomy even at the dinner table.

"I wish I can see her again..."

I heard David whispered.

It seems like my brother has found someone he likes. You know, after he saw the girl...he went to their cafe every week and always goes home disappointed.

That girl is really cute though. I know she'll be a beauty when she grows up, I see different pretty girls but that young girl's vibe is very different from other girls. Hers is similar or even greater than the duke's daughter, Daphne Il Viva who was in the tea party.

Maybe she's an important character in the novel I'm in.

It's like she's a bud who was about to bloom and become a beautiful rose one day.
