Lol. Are the people of the empire that kindhearted? Given that they are noble people, some don’t like being compared to the commoners. There would have been disputes regarding the availability of black tea for the commoners as it should have been “for the nobles only” kind of thing. But then the author might have just wanted to bypass that kind of problem
JUST WHY DID I HAVE TO READ THIS AT 3 IN THE MORNING. Also, it really needs a trigger warning. If I haven’t gotten over my depression and anxiety, I would have done something by now. Well, I think it’s still not safe for those with history since I had a few small triggers while reading this but I know how to control myself now so it’s okay. But please please please put a trigger warning for those that really should avoid reading this
