I Picked Up the Second Male Lead After the Ending - Chapter 8
Fun Tea Time
The stew boiled, only the sound of the pan was heard. It feels like a debut…don’t mind
“I’m going to rent a kitchen again today.”
“Ah! Princess!”
As he looked at the people who had been stiffened as they were doing what he was doing, the man who was washing the dishes over there quickly approached with his hands on his apron.
Well… … Maybe it’s my feelings that the kitchen has a different person in charge of me, right?
“What are you doing today?”
“I’m trying to bake some cakes.”
“What kind of cake? If you tell us, we made it ….”
“No. I want to make it myself. Can I rent a kitchen?”
“Ah ”
The man opened his mouth, nodded his head, and turned his head as a habit.The polite middle-aged man was at the end of his gaze.
As I also looked at him, he nodded with a shaky face.
He seemed to be the chief and supreme power of this kitchen, but he didn’t seem to have enough power to refuse what the princess would do.
Ugh,after all the princess is the best! Exciting!
“I think it will be okay.”
“Okay, that’s good.”
I smiled and pulled out the apron I brought.
“Is this… The princess’s apron?”
“Yeah.”
While I put on my apron, the man is slipping
I looked at.
“why? Weird?”
His gaze was overwhelming, so I looked at my apron too.
It was an apron with a white cloth and a cute bird embroidered on one corner of it, as an example I learned during the bride’s class.
The shape was okay, and the embroidery bird became a little crooked, but it wasn’t that strange.
“Oh, no. The apron is not weird.just… ”
The man tilted his head as if picking his words.
“I’ve never heard of a princess wearing an apron.”
“Alas-”
“Before, youngjoo’s daughter, Baron Young-ae, never wore an apron. Ah! So, this is the story of Fairsprene to the last, and Garten’s customs may be different.”
Suddenly, the man hurriedly added, whether he thought he had done something wrong.
“Well, well. I don’t know about other princesses or young girls.”
I shrugged once and looked around the kitchen.
Is there a separate material warehouse? Then I think I wil have to go to the warehouse with a bowl…
“I just learned it because I wanted to make the food that he likes to someone I like.”
“i See.”
He nodded and looked at me. The line of sight contained a lot of favor.
“Where should I get the ingredients to make the cake?”
“Ah! I’ll guide you.”
He began to take several bowls from the piles of bowls.
“What’s your name?”
“You can call me Andy. If you have anything to do in the main room, find me.”
He smiled kindly and said his name. Andy went out of the kitchen with several bowls, and I naturally followed him.
“You make cakes?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, are you going to eat at tea time in the afternoon, or after dinner?”
“I think I’m going to eat it at afternoon tea time, but what time is the afternoon tea time for the Grand Duchy in general?
“He usually gets ready around 3 o’clock, but ….”
Andy blurred his words.
Three o’clock. I thought it might take some time because the sheets had to be cooled down enough.
But I didn’t want to change to a different menu.
I wanted to have my first tea time with him because I learned hard because I wondered if there would be such an opportunity.
I would just have to move a little faster.
“Hey, I wonder if you are the person you like….before…perhaps. ”
I was counting my work hours by myself, but Andy asked carefully. While saying a few times
“Of course, it’s the Grand Duke.”
I said as if I was asking for everything.
Isn’t there any way I can’t like someone else who came here to marry him?
Despite the clear answer, an awkward silence flowed between Andy and me.
“..… Didn’t you say you make a cake before?”
“Yes, I’m going to make a strawberry cake.”
“.. Didn’t you say that, you like to make the food which liked by the people you like?”
“Yes! I’m going to make a strawberry cake for the Grand Duke.”
Woodangtangtangtang!For an instant, a noisy sound rang in the hallway, and I closed my ears with my hands.The source of the sound was Andy.He dropped all the bowls he had in his hand on the floor.Knocked it down.
“. … Andy?”
“Why are you saying such scary things? ”
Among the bowls that were rolling, Andy was white, like the man who encountered a ghost in a horror movie.
I don’t know strawberry cake is such a scary word.Did it?
* **
“What is that now?”
Richt’s harsh impression was like a horror movie.If Andy saw this expression, it would have been so white.But I didn’t.
“It’s a strawberry cake.”
If you have any questions, it is assumed that we will answer you!!I smiled and answered his question, and Richt’s expression became even worse.
I used today’s opportunity to tell Richt that I wanted to see you at 3 o’clock tea time, and fortunately it was accepted.
The time to cool down the sheets was a bit breathtaking, but fortunately, I was able to make a strawberry cake in time for tea.
Despite Andy’s reluctance to take it away, I was about to appear at teatime with a whole whole cake.
“It’s made with fresh garten strawberries. It’s stored by magic, so it smells very good like strawberries picked today.”
I laughed and laid the cake down on the table.After seeing it, Richt’s left eyebrow rose slightly,It came down quickly.His face was still frowned, but I didn’t miss it.
It was Richt’s habit. When you see what you like, your left eyebrow rises without your knowledge.
“Turn off.”
But his mouth said something completely different from his eyebrows.
“I made it myself,so Please try it once.”
“Garten sees what the princess does with her maids?”
“I don’t know what other princesses do because there is only one princess in Garten, but this is my hobby.”
He didn’t say,’I practiced hard to give it to you.’Honestly, the shape wasn’t that great.Although I tried hard, the cream didn’t apply smoothly, and the woven bag was uneven, so I couldn’t tell whether it was a mistake or not.
In terms of appearance, it wasn’t that great cake. But I’m sure I made it myself, and it tasted great.
The sheet was warm and swelled moderately, and my arms were out of it~ The whipped cream was smooth.It was just moderately sweet.
Strawberries topped with Hwaryongjeomjeong were rich and sweet as they were gartenic acid. It was Richt’s favorite strawberry of Gartensan, itself.
The taste that they harmonized well was really delicious, unlike the shape.
“Please try it.”
“I told you to go.”
“Just! Just try one bite.”
“… ….. ”
His frowned face did not know that it would open up.But, because I had a corner to believe, I did not give in.I already knew that Natural Bonn Tsunderein Richt would react like this.
“Just try one bite. Yes?”
Even he was a prince,Richt concealed the fact that he liked sweets in order to look cool to Hestia.
Because he thought it was unmanly that men liked things like this.He had been educated by the Empress at that time.The man and the future emperor, Licht, loves sweets because he has a lower body pain.
So he always kept it a secret from others that he liked sweets. He didn’t even eat it to his heart’s content.
But in this world, even if no one knows, I, as a reader, knew.That he likes sweets, likes cakes, and most of all, strawberry cakes.
“Obviously what we pledged was to meet the princess once a day.”
“Yes.”
“Then, now that I have seen the princess’s face, and the princess has also seen my face, today’s chance will be over.”
“Although”
“If that’s the case, how about turning it off finely now?”
Sigh.. Even if you ask to eat something you like, like this to refuse violently.
“All right. Grand Duke.”
As I showed my palms out and said words of surrender, a faint ridicule appeared on Richt’s face.But you have to know that this isn’t real surrender.
“The Grand Duke seems to like negotiations very much, so let’s negotiate.”
I looked at him with a smile.And it was a natural flow that his face turned into a shit again.
“If you only take one bite, I will turn it off.”
“Why should I do that?”
“I’ll turn off not only today but tomorrow.”
“… ….”
“Really! Really! If you take a bite of this today, it will be turned off right now and not only tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow.”
“… … ”
“If you want, go to the room! I won’t come out because I’m stuck. So that the Grand Duke will move the castle so that he will never run into me.”
Richt’s eyes turned thin.Not seeing the ugly princess’s face for 3 days and eating a strawberry cake in front of the princess.
He seemed to be estimating which one he liked better and which one was better for him.
But I was confident.If he pushed his back this much, he gave him enough reason to eat it.
All he had to do was pretend he couldn’t win, just pretend that the princess had no choice but to eat the cake because he didn’t want to look.
He’ll think I don’t know that he likes cakes.Protecting his own image and eating his favorite cake. How good!
“Good.”
Also.Richt’s response almost gave him a smile in my mouth, but he pressed the corner of his mouth to keep soaring in case he would bother him again.
“Let’s eat.”
Richt’s fork slowly approached the cake.He was willing to talk if he chose the side without strawberries, but he wasn’t so much as it was a long-awaited opportunity.
I cut a piece of cake with a large fork and dip it with his daughter. On the inside of the cake, the flesh of the strawberry I cut was pretty.
To cover up my expression, I purposely pretended to pick up the tea cup in front of me and drink it.
“… … ”
The moment the cake finally got into Richt’s mouth, his left eyebrow was raised. He even paused for a moment.
And while Richt chewed slowly while savoring the taste, the raised left eyebrow came down very slowly.
It was a big bite, but the soft whipped cream, the fluffy sheet, and the Dadidan strawberry would have melted from his mouth in no time.
A very satisfying expression floated over Richt’s face for a very short time and then disappeared.
“Then you took a bite, so I’ll go out as promised.”
As I stood up, I reached out to the plate of cake that had been distorted on one side.
“Would you like to leave that?”
“…..…What?”
“… That plate.”
When it comes to delicious food, there are people who have never eaten it, but no one has eaten it only once.
“Well… it’s difficult. It’s a set with me, so I can’t turn it off after I leave it.”
I looked seriously troubled.
“What is that called a set with you?”
“It’s a very precious plate to me.”
Of course lies.It was a plate that I picked up randomly to fit the size of the cake in the kitchen.
“Besides, this strawberry was also given by my father as a gift when I came from Garten.”
… Lies half way.At the strawberry field belonging to the royal palace,It was a strawberry that I picked myself.
“So I can’t turn it off after this.”
He stared at me, hearing my ridiculous lies.But if you stare, what can you do?
“.. sit down.”
He chewed but spoke as if spitting out words.
“Yes, Grand Duke.”
And I sat down.Richt glared at me, lifted a fork and smashed the remaining cake, and I drank tea with a light smile.
The fireplace was burning, and the car was fragrant.And my favorite cat was eating my cake very deliciously.To be sure, it was a very pleasant tea time.
