Chapter 192: Changed Rule [Bonus - ]
Arabella also attended four more events with Raymond and maximized them for socialization and building connections as she got to meet more nobles from the other ruling houses in Valeria.
As her main guard, Rendell could have been Arabella’s date on those events if Raymond was not available. However, Clarisse was not feeling well to attend the said events so Raymond escorted Arabella the whole time.
Thus, instead of Clarisse, it was Raymond who helped her build connections with the nobles. Arabella was very much grateful for his help. Both in this life and in the past, Raymond had been a great help to her.
And since Clarisse’s pregnancy was more sensitive than her previous ones, Arabella was the one who visited their residence.
Clarisse indeed didn’t look well. She lost a lot of weight since she throws up most of what she eats. Sometimes she also didn’t want to eat most of the foods served to her.
Arabella brought fruits and tea from Lobelius which she had made Alwin and Aletha retrieve. Clarisse loved the fruits but said she might not drink the tea since she was pregnant.
However, Clarisse was overwhelmed when she learned that the tea varieties Arabella gave her were all safe for pregnant women.
"I knew you would not be able to drink the usual teas you like so I asked for these from Lobelius. These are herbal teas and are safe for pregnant women. Even my mother used to drink these when she was pregnant with my younger siblings."
Arabella explained that those tea varieties were specially made for pregnant women. It was developed because a lot of women in Lobelius who were so used to drinking tea had withdrawal symptoms when they suddenly stopped it due to pregnancy.
Moreover, Lobelius was proud of their tea so they wanted everyone to be able to drink it whatever their situation was so various kinds were made. The population of pregnant women not buying tea was also a great loss.
"Thank you! I can finally drink tea again. I had been craving a warm cup of tea," Clarisse instantly asked one of the maids to brew some of the tea for her.
