The Abandoned Lycan Queen 136 Chapter 136 Elena's POV "Scarlet Bone Tea? You've got to be kidding me!" "That can't be real, can't it?" A lot of the crowd looked at the gift I presented in utter shock. Scarlet Bone Tea was known for being the rarest and most expensive tea in the entire kingdom, and its benefits weren't the only reason why it was at the top of the line.
The main reason was that only one bloodline could do it, and that's the West family. Considering that the West family were busy with their own careers, they only made a few batches of tea every year, and they only sold it to those they deemed worthy, so money wasn't the only issue, Even the royal family had to wait in line for its availability, and even then, the pack they would get wouldn't be as big as the bag I bought.

The general warrior from Custodes? You've got to be kidding me! He hasn't been back for months. He's on the South border volunteering to help injured warriors from the last war." Everyone was gasping with admiration, eyes looking like saucers and jaws dropping to the ground, but those were halted when a sneer took everyone's attention.
Courtney scowled. "Nonsense! Anyone can forge a seal! That tea could be dried leaves from the market for all we know!" "Exactly!" Another guest stepped in. Looking at how she looks, she's Courtney's friend. "She probably bought that from the roadside stall. It's all for a show like that stupid jewellery she's flaunting! Those diamonds are obviously glass!" They continued to let out their suspicions, but I only kept myself quiet and let them speak their mind until they were done. Once they had settled down, I shrugged my shoulders and cleared my throat before shifting my gaze to the palace steward who was standing on the side.
"Can you please call the royal herbalist and royal appraiser to kindly examine my gifts? It seems like everyone has doubts we have to satisfy." The steward looked at Princess Gelin for permission. Princess Gelin's eyes shifted betweenand him for quite a while, thinning, before she nodded her head and waved her hand in approval.
After the steward left, it only took five minutes before the royal herbalist and royal appraiser cin.
The two greeted all of us respectfully before they went closer to the tray of my gift and started examining it. While I was chill on the side, waiting for the result, others were highly expectant to see the result, while Courtney was looking smug, believing that my items were forged.
The first to finish was the royal appraiser; he removed his gloves and nodded his head. "This jewellery is indeed authentic. In fact, this set is the only one in the world because the jeweller designed this for his lover." Pointing at the side of the pendant, he added, "If you look behind the pendant, you'll see a serial number and the signature of the designer with the nof his lover." "What?" Courtney sneered. "But that tea can't possibly be authentic! That's impossible." 1/2 Chapter 136 I only shook my head and fet the royal herbalist do the talking instead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Actually, this Scarlet Bone Tea is as authentic as it can be. The seal has not been tampered with, and no one can copy the tea itself. It's definitely made by the warrior, Rendell West, himself." "All of this is priceless!" "It indeed is!" The two royal examiners look at each other with a huge smile on their lips, amazed at what they've seen.
The royal herbalist looked atin awe. "How did you manage to buy a lot of Scarlet Bone Tea from Rendell West?"
I shrugged my shoulders, nonchalantly replying, "Actually Actually m didn't buy it. It's a yearly supply given toby my seniors. I also brought a bag for the King, by the way. I had another attendant send it." "Did she just say senior?" "A yearly supply?" Everyone was confused.
Letting out a small chuckle, I confirmed. "Yes, Rendell West is my direct senior in Custodes when we are training as a warrior."
"She's that junior! I heard Rendell West only accepted one direct junior warrior to help train before! One of the Alpha or Beta shouted from the side in great shock.
Another man stepped forward with a drink in his hand and nodded, ided "Yes, I heard about that too. She disappeared after graduation, though." The Alpha shook his head in dismay. "It turns out she got married and the Bryson family cast her aside for being low-born." The other man laughed out loud. "Biggest mistake obviously. They threw away a living legend's heir!" I secretly smirked upon seeing Courtney's face, ghostly pale, while the Grand Princess forced a strained smile.
