Hah.
I sighed in relief when the coldness was totally gone. The group was then reverted back but they did not mind a clean dessert plate… It was as if the newly introduced dessert was totally forgotten.
When I went to my room, I can’t help but associate the mysterious woman to the kid, I mean Milka. But with this in conclusion, I truly felt happy. Judging from her reaction, she wanted sweets and if I could satisfy her with that, I could surely return.
Tomorrow I’ll introduce the best sweet ever!
I guess I don’t really need two weeks! I could settle this in four days!
With this in mind, I have slept with my sweetest smile.
*******
The morning came with my mind fully refreshed. It was still six in the morning but I’m truly pumped up on testing my hypothesis.
After I have freshened up, I asked Jane to guide me towards Milka’s room only to be surprised to meet the little girl in the balcony. She woke up earlier than I do.
“Good Morning! Did you have a good sleep?”
Milka looked at me and smiled. “Thank you for being good…”
Cough. I felt embarrassed as the little girl seemed to have guessed that I was not that welcoming yesterday.
“Do you like to have some meringue biscuit or perhaps some hot cocoa?” I asked to change the topic.
Milka then blinked excitedly as she showed her excitement. Hand in hand, we went to the dining in tow. We bumped into Minte on the way but seeing that the Duke and Duchess were not in the dining yet, we changed our direction.
Minte on the other hand decided to come with us to the kitchen.
Seeing Cook Bronze fully energetic, I asked him to prepare the ingredients needed. In a swift motion, he presented everything I asked. While the small saucepan was placed in a low heat, I then poured at least three spoonful of cocoa powder. I also added three pinches of salt and about a quarter cup of goat milk. While whisking it together, I slowly added sugar following my own estimation, since goat milk here is fresh and sweet I only added two sugar cubes. Seeing that the cocoa and sugar cubes was totally dissolved I then lifted the saucepan from the fire.
This should at least be sufficient for the four of us. Pouring the hot cocoa into four small cups, I urged the group to taste it. “If it is not yet sweet for you, you could still add sugar as it is still hot anyway.”
Anticipating for the mysterious voice to appear once more, I watched as the cup touched Milka’s lips. I am overjoyed as the cold voice once again echoed out.
[Add more sugar here.]
I happily obliged as I added two more sugar cubes into Milka’s cup. After the mysterious woman finished the cup of hot cocoa, the group returned to normal and Milka seemed to be full too.
The mysterious woman has sweet tooth. Surely with chocolate, I could clearly subdue her in no time.
Similarly, Cook Bronze began to prepare another batch of hot cocoa for the Duke and Duchess to taste. After enjoying breakfast with the family, I went back to the kitchen to inform them that I would like their help for creating our new dessert and we could start right after they finished preparing for our lunch.
Filled with excitement, I went back to my room to write some sweet recipes.
For now I should compile everything I knew how to make.
