(The watch bell stroked three times, announcing the hour of 3 PM.)
At the center of the royal garden, with no sight of the castle itself, flourished with green bushes and flowers blooming beautifully, complementing the soothing weather of Spring, stood a table and a single chair. On the chair sat a young female (OLIVIA) of age around 15, dressed royally accordingly to her status, hair tied up into a ponytail, with a large bow decorating it. The dress is laced and embroidered fabric garments that are closely fitted to the waistline, high socks, and black leather shoes. OLIVIA sat elegantly yet projected a high-wattage aura.
On top of the table, in front of OLIVIA, is a piece of cake with a fork neatly placed on a separate plate.
On OLIVIA'S side stood a young man (OLIVER), also around the age of 15, wearing a white shirt and suit pants, tighten up with a vest and tie. The heels of the black leather shoes stood closely together, as OLIVER himself stood. Equally youthful as OLIVIA, however, he is reverent and respectful toward OLIVIA.
A bronze-colored cart by OLIVER'S side. On top are one teapot, one teacup set, and other containers of perhaps sugar and spice.
OLIVER picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the teacup. Doing so while speaking softly and steadily to OLIVIA.

Only the tea from Prince Mordred’s country’s suitable to be my afternoon tea.
569Please respect copyright.PENANAwEu5h1oF6j
At the side, around 8 footsteps away from the table, a man (AUSTIN) had been standing there since the very beginning. Appearing to be a lot more elderly than OLIVIA and OLIVER, dressed in a black robe, length to the calf, and black leather shoes. Hair neatly tugged back with a few strains of white hair that could be easily seen. Stood in a very respectful manner toward OLIVIA, however, carried a helpless and frustrated expression.
AUSTIN finally found an opportunity to cut into the conversation.

569Please respect copyright.PENANAJMBj0NC7qH
OLIVIA raised her hand and made the shu-shu gesture, then continued eating.
AUSTIN made a movement as in ready to argue again, as he was doing so, OLIVER glared at AUSTIN with a sharp eye. AUSTIN stopped, went back to his reverent position and bowed to OLIVIA.
AUSTIN bit his lips.

569Please respect copyright.PENANAB1PM0UHNOD
A while later, a person (UNKNOWN) came into view and kneeled before OLIVIA. Dressed in the typical manner of a servant; suit, shirt, and tie. Unimportant.
569Please respect copyright.PENANAVH0BH4PO6A
UNKNOWN569Please respect copyright.PENANAJcK8F756U0

OLIVER and UNKNOWN left.
OLIVER soon returned with an extra chair with a silk bolster on it and set the chair down on the opposite side of OLIVIA. UNKNOWN returned, leading MORDRED and then stepping aside to let MORDRED walk forward.
UNKNOWN bowed and left the scene.
MORDRED appeared to be around the age of 18, youthful and cheerful. He dressed lightly, but still visibly show his status, with a full-dressed suit, a crown on his head, and a sword tied to his waist.
OLIVIA stood up.
MORDRED gently bowed to OLIVIA and OLIVIA returned with a bow.

Outside of OLIVIA'S and MORDRED'S sights, UNKNOWN came in with a teacup set and extra desserts and cakes. Bowed, set them on the cart, bowed again, then left.
OLIVIA and MORDRED sat down on the chair, OLIVER served tea.
(Background music starts playing. OLIVIA and MORDRED chatted inaudibly.)
