The King walked towards a wall of the secret path and lightly pushed a slightly protruding brick. Then, a hidden stone table slowly raised from the ground while a part of the wall turned to the other side showing a hidden rack with a complete tea set and tea along with a water supply and heater. The King casually walked towards the tea rack and started picking a suitable tea.
Despite it's quite amazing, Rei can't help but wonder why would someone build a hidden tea table and tea rack in a secret emergency path
"Hmm... I guess he has really turned this secret path into his secret snacking place huh?" That's what she thought.
After a short while, the King returned to the bench with two cups of tea in a tray, he placed the tray on the bench in between him and Rei.
"I don't really have any fancy cups in this place, so please bear with this plain porcelain cup." said the King as he took one cup of tea for himself.
After a short hesitation, Rei took another cup as well.
