Chapter 31

“Hershey, this cake is delicious!” Princess Lotte praised and I hurriedly looked at her.

“Thank you Princess.” I smiled at her.

“You said there was a slight difference but it is rather big for me.” Princess Lotte addressed as she eat the cake.

“The main difference was mainly on the final garnish. I used fresh fruits while Caramelle should have used some strawberry icing am I right?”

“Ah? Ah… yes. I used strawberry mixed with some honey in creating the icing.” Caramelle looked at me strangely.

“Oh, I was also rather impressed by your approach, if you could, may I also see the way you make that icing?”

Secretly looking at the recipe would be cheating so I would rather ask for it openly.

“S-sure… I would gladly show it to you.” Caramelle’s sweet voice once again echoed out.

“This cake also taste good.” It was Ghirar and he had even eaten half of the cake with strawberry icing.  Princess Lotte stared daggers at the cake but she still sliced a portion of it.

“Oh… this is… I prefer the one with fresh fruits!” I could clearly tell that Princess Lotte finds the cake made by the heroine delicious but she did not want to admit it.

“Hmmm… both cakes are pretty delicious for me.” Crown Prince Lewis also voiced out his opinion.

“Brother what about you?” Princess Lotte looked at her brother who had just placed a spoonful of cake in his mouth.

“I preferred fresh fruits than this so called icing…” Prince Aero answered directly, after that he placed the spoon down clearly telling that he does not have plans to take another bite.

“If that is the case, I think Hershey’s cake wins!” Princess Lotte applauded.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Crown Prince Lewis also clapped as he stood up. “Congratulations to you both, the cake was rather good. I think both recipe’s should be kept.” His hand then outstretched towards Caramelle.

The heroine politely lifted her left hand but that form looked as if she was waiting for it to be kissed! The crown prince was obviously only in for a handshake!

Alternating between the two, I can’t help but gasp as the crown prince really took her hand and kissed it!

Damn! Was the crown prince trying to be a gentleman or has he already fallen in love?

I did not even write this part! Goodness, this should not be… his feelings should slowly progress as his interest was piqued!

Right after that, the crown prince also outstretched his hands to me. I quickly grabbed it and made a firm handshake. I really can’t believe this handsome guy would fall in love at first sight! That was rather so cliche!

“Lady Caramelle, we should now go to the meeting area. The others should have been waiting there for some time now.” Prince Aero’s voice was so serious yet Caramelle smiled sweetly at him.

After pardoning themselves from Princess Lotte, they moved inside the castle.

“I hate that woman! She is such a villain!” Princess Lotte blurted out right after the entire crowd dispersed.

Ahahaha… Princess you are the villainess here.

Under the chilly glint from the Princess gaze towards the area the heroine moved, I couldn’t really decide who is who… The princess’ gaze right now was that of a villain character but the heroine a while ago also displayed the qualities of a villain!

“Hahaha… Anyway princess, would it be ok for us to go towards the temple?” I have asked the two chef’s who helped me to make another cake but its mini version. I planned to offer it towards that self proclaimed Moon Goddess.

“The temple? Why do you want to go there?” The princess now displayed curiosity.

“Ah, I wanted to offer some cake to the Mo-Sun God… You see during the thanksgiving, I promised to offer him something from work every day.”

Somehow I can’t help but feel my heart race as the Princess displayed suspicion. She stared at me for a long time and I don’t even know if my smile right now looked alright.

“Okay, we could also ask brother Ghirar to come with us.” The princess became rather joyful after speaking her beloved’s name. She then dragged me towards the study.

“Ahm… Princess, we could also go later on, before I get off work you know… also my offering was still in the kitchen…” I gently spoke as I feel it would be weird barging in during a meeting yet the princess paid no heed to my words, we even moved faster!

When we came to the study, Caramelle was the only woman inside and like Chef Tome from before, there are other attendees who looked at her lovingly. To me this reaction seemed rather scary… I don’t want to be stared at that way especially of someone I only met today!

Was it the heroine’s charm?

 “Sorry cousin, brother. I would like to borrow Big Brother Ghirar. We would like to visit the temple now you see…”

The three men looked at each other and Ghirar could only stand up helplessly. Just like that, Princess Lotte happily cling towards Ghirar’s right side.

“Uh… Princess, Priest Ghirar I will just get my offering real quick!”

After saying so, I sprinted back towards the kitchen. After drinking full glass of refreshing water, I slowly packed the offering. I finally moved back towards the garden where I have left the two.

Seeing the merry Princess with the awkward priest I really don’t know if I should push them together or help Ghirar be freed from this destined to be villainous princess…
