The God's Games

Hanjun glanced at Princess Sarah, feeling there was something deeper in her words.

However, he still didn't respond, and her smile hung in the air for a long time, creating an awkward atmosphere that was hard to ignore.

After all, Hanjun was the God of Light.

For him, there was no need to deal with the royal family of such a small country like Orinthia.

If he didn't care about keeping his identity hidden, he would have left immediately.

If he revealed his identity as the God of Light, would the King of Orinthia dare to ignore him?

Princess Sarah noticed the tense atmosphere and smiled. "I forgot to mention, some of the merchants in the Royal City of Orinthia are under my management. I actually wanted to talk about forming a trade partnership with the Church of Light."

Hanjun didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Did all the royals love talking in circles like this, taking so long to get to the main point?

If he hadn't shown a bit of this impatient expression, who knows how much longer this would have dragged on.

But since it was about trade, Hanjun appeared a bit more agreeable, "That's actually a pretty good idea."

Hanjun's response finally made Princess Sarah breathe a sigh of relief.

The Holy Son of the Church of Light really lived up to his reputation.

He didn't back down at all, making Princess Sarah seem a bit lower in status.

Luckily, Princess Sarah didn't mind this.

She wondered if he had noticed her real intentions and was putting on this attitude because of it.

Princess Sarah continued, "Even though Ulon Town has held off the demon attacks, there must still be a lot of problems to solve with all that pressure, right?"

She was right about that.

Ulom Town could be self-sufficient to some extent, but it still didn't have enough resources.

The quarry couldn't supply enough materials for the needs of twenty thousand people.

The seeds for food and vegetables were running low, and the ingredients for acceleration growth potions were far from enough to meet the heavy demand.

They had been getting supplies from merchant caravans and by giving tasks to players, but even that was slowly becoming insufficient.

This was one of the reasons Hanjun wanted to take over Lindblum City and Canaan Town.

Princess Sarah thought she had touched on what Hanjun was thinking and spoke again, "In the Royal City of Orinthia, if there's anything we have a lot of, it's money. And the people here love new things, especially something like that "Sparkling Water."

Princess Sarah felt she had hinted pretty clearly.

Wasn't it just something like Chupa Chups?

Hanjun had already thought about it.

On Earth, what was more comforting junk food than fried chicken, soda, and milk tea?

He couldn't make fried chicken right now, but milk tea was definitely possible.

Hanjun said, "I do have a drink that the princess probably hasn't tried before."

Princess Sarah's eyes were lit up, "What is it?"

Hanjun told a maid to bring over some black tea, milk, and sugar.

The maid glanced at Princess Sarah, but the princess didn't even look back and urged her, "Do as the Holy Son says. Hurry up!"

The maid quickly rushed off and returned with the items Hanjun had asked for.

Watching as Hanjun brewed the black tea and then poured milk into it, Princess Sarah hesitated, "Will it really taste good like that?"

Hanjun added a few sugar cubes, stirred it, and placed the cup in front of Princess Sarah, gesturing for her to try it.

Princess Sarah picked up the white porcelain cup with her delicate hand and took a small sip.

Her eyes sparkled immediately.

Hanjun poured himself a cup as well.

To him, this milk tea wasn't perfect; the milk flavor was too strong, and the black tea hadn't been filtered properly, so he could still taste some tea leaves.

But to Princess Sarah, it was a completely new and delightful flavor.

"How did I never think of adding milk to tea? This tastes amazing!"

It was sweet, making it a drink that would clearly appeal to girls.

Though the blackened roast was interesting, to Princess Sarah, it wasn't as tasty as this milk tea.

Hanjun added, "You can also put things like boba, coconut jelly, or pudding into milk tea to give it more texture, or you can choose to have it plain."

Princess Sarah's curiosity grew, "What is boba? Are they something you can eat?"

Hanjun had forgotten that in this era, they didn't know about boba.

"They're small balls made from tapioca starch and brown sugar. Once cooked, they look like tiny black pearls and you can put it in the milk tea." Explore more at empire

Princess Sarah quickly told the maid, "Hurry up! Make sure to write this down so we can try making it later."

Princess Sarah wanted Hanjun to explain more, but at that moment, King Varis finally finished his business and came into the garden with his entourage.

Following the king were Duke Dzemael and Duke Haillenarte.

Unlike the king's eager expression, the two dukes stared at Hanjun as if they were looking at an enemy, ready to unleash all their hostility.

However, as they got closer, Hanjun noticed that they quickly lowered their heads, hiding their intense gazes.

King Varis, dressed in his royal robes, entered the garden with a group of people behind him, lacking any intimidating royal presence.

Princess Sarah stood up, her face bright with joy as she greeted her father.

She took King Varis' arm and walked over with him.

King Varis sat in the seat Princess Sarah had been sitting in earlier.

Noticing the items on the table, he curiously asked his daughter, "What are you doing here?"

Princess Sarah answered obediently, "The Holy Son showed me something new, Father. Would you like to try it?"

King Varis already knew that the popular drink had come from Ulon Town, and now Hanjun had brought something new.
