I wish this shit actually worked on mean in-laws lol
but for the drinkers in the audience, try adding a half ounce (or to taste) of bourbon to some Assam tea with honey and milk. Really nice on a chilly evening. ✨
@Tyleesa apparently lower nobles would work as servants for higher level nobles, like work in the castle or has a personal maid, no idea if thats how it worked, but a bunch of otomes say it so im guessing theres a story there
...i dont think bribing your in-laws does much in the long run, but i suppose getting them drunk on tea could make them forget about the immutable factors that make them not like you
@Tyleesa in certain lores nobles would be served by lesser nobles and other persons ‘of genteel birth’ . As a matter of fact we even have real life examples, European history shows many euro-centric countries following similar practice. Lady-in-waiting or court-lady comes from this practice with the most extreme example being Queen Elizabeth of York who had half of her thirty-some ladies-in-waiting being nobles themselves. For our MCs they’re of the rank duke and duchess meaning they can claim to be second-to-none but the king/emperor or the king’s direct progeny. So it’s not uncommon practice for a noblewoman to be in her service. Of note they would still have normal servants to take care of the normal chores such as laundry, night soil, et cetera
