"Oh, my! This roasted lamb is so delicious! So chewy, but you can taste the juiciness with a hint of smoky sensation. This is so perfect!" Cecilia said after she ate her fourth meat skewer.
"Here, have this too." Max give her a slice of apple pie.
They are on the Holk City Square where the harvest festival being held.
The crowds aren't reducing even it almost midnight. Everybody have a good time, including Cecilia and Max, who were sitting on the long wooden bench to eat their foods.
Cecilia's passion about food was never failed to entertain him. For Max, Cecilia always look so beautiful. But her charisma seems raised rapidly when she's enjoying delicious food.
Or cooking some foods.
"Nope, the taste of dessert can ruin my taste bud. Better to safe it for the last. Oh! Wait! Where is my manner? I should thank you for the treat. Thank you so much, Max!"
"That was unpredictable." Cecilia said after Kaleela told her the whole story about her reunion with Grant. "I mean, I thought you are in love with my uncle."Her red brows raised, "You are in the wrong track.""You said you like his possessiveness.""And I do say that he can be so annoying."Cecilia frowned, "Well, nobody is perfect, Miss.""Thanks for your advice. But, I need your help to find a hideout for me."Max rolled his eyes and said, "Why us? You can seek some help from your association. I'm sure they will help you.""Nice idea, Genius." She answered it with sarcastic tone. "Grant must be thinking the same thing.""Then get lost! My Chili don't wanna help you."Kaleela sneered, "You are acting like a clingy dog to it master.""But, can you tell me how you can find us?" Cecilia asked wi
"What? Why?" Kaleela look confused. So does Max."Well, maybe because I'm lacking appeal and--," Then Cecilia stooped her word after realize that she is not Ji Eun. "A-ah, forget it!"Then some realization struck in Kaleela's head, "Wait, I heard you were stepped back from the election. So, were you doing that because, perhaps, rejected by the Crown Prince?"Max almost got a heart attack when heard that question. For him, Cecilia and the crown prince is an impossible combination. A goddess and an insect can't be together, right?When Cecilia want to oppose it, a memory from the past come to her mind.She remembered that the real Cecilia, indeed confessed her feeling to the Crown Prince when he came at her fourteenth birthday. He was nineteen back then. He said that she was too young for him.Of course she was unable to accept that. Using her family's power, she will
For commoners, tea party is an useless activity which need an abundance amount of money to hold one.Furthermore, what the point to eat beautiful bite-size dessert and drink some expensive tea while gossiping each other?But, of course, nobles have different perspective about that. Tea party is an important to know what is currently happens in the society.Just like an old saying, love and scandals are the best sweetener for the teas.The nobles lady traded juicy information to established their position for the one who know everything. It is not a futile activity.Because sometimes, information is a very valuable commodity. As example, for the Silver's family as the biggest and the most trusted news source. To be exact, they are monopolizing it.Since a long time ago, Silver family was the first one who know what is happening in this empire and the one who can dist
Oh? Max? You've got the invitation too?" Cecilia took a seat beside him. She looks a bit surprised to see max in this small white wall room. There are only three white leather couches and one oval wooden table." Yeah. An old woman, with thick glasses, gave it to me." "Eh, don't be so rude! She is the author of this story. Wintersnow-nim. Besides, she hasn't reach thirty yet." Max rolled his eyes, "I'm just trying to be honest." "Moreover, I wonder why did she invite us? Is there something wrong?" "Maybe she got any writer's block or something." Cecilia gasped, "Oh! What if she will make an announcement about her hiatus?" Max's eyes widen as big as a saucer. He draws his sword with gritted teeth. Of course, he can't let it slide. How could that heartless author will announce that news when he hasn't confessed his feeling yet? "She better not.
"Young Miss, you are working hard today." Mary said while she gave a towel for Cecilia who already finished her sword training.A week passed after her first training was began. Still, Theo only taught her how to swing that long sword."It is for your durability, Young Miss." He said when Cecilia asked him to give her another lessons. "You have to feel it. As if the sword is a part of your body."But, it makes her feel bored to swing the sword for four hours."Oh, Young Miss. I need to inform you something." Theo said while she will leave the ground. "There is something to happen with your compost. The worms are coming out from the soil!"Cecilia's eyes widen, "Whoa! It's good news! That's mean it succeed. I will tell Baron Ambrose.""Oh really?" He let out a relief sigh. "I thought I made some mistake.""No, Theo. You're already doing the best. Th
"So, what do you want to talk about? Please make it quick because I'm busy." Cecilia said while both of them were in the library. She wants to reply her father's letter about the banquet in the palace. "Don't be so cold to me, Niece. You are really broke this old man's heart!" Cecilia sighed heavily. After what happened in the past, how could Grant say something irresponsible like that. However, as if he can read her mind, he said, "Consider it as my token of apology after the previous incident. I will lend my power to help your projects." Cecilia raised her brows. Even it was a good idea, but she doubts that Grant didn't ask something in return. Is he want to trade it with Kaleela's information? "Don't worry, I'll go home after finish your job. Seem I already left Hagrav for a long time. And, what do you say?" There is an old saying, keep your friend cl
Armano punched his desk when heard that news. The Cadia Kingdom is under attack by the citizen who burned in rage.As the results of that brutally coup, Gideon, the king, beheaded and all of the royal family members were missing. No one know, but they must be facing something worse than the death.The Nobles ran away and seeking the protection to the nearest kingdom. Not to mention, almost half of them come to Atrazal's Empire asking for justice."This is impossible!" Armano snapped and squeezed the reports from the spies he hired.The citizens of Cadia who never have any military experience nor courage after being abused from their tyrant king, can wipe out every experienced royal knights in just one night.Armano frowned when he realizes that the leader of the rebellion is the eldest son of a chief who living on the poorest district on that kingdom."Then, how cou
It is just another ordinary hot days in South Island. Cecilia walked to the building site when several men are busy to painting the walls. The ranch resort is almost done. Mary, who walked behind her, said, "It's like a magic. How come they can build those building in the very short time period?" Cecilia nodded, "I thought so." Of course, Grant is behind of this. When the nights came, he's doing his job to enhance the building time and matched it using the draft of her drawing. So just one week after the arrival of the builders, everything is almost done. Sometime, without Cecilia acknowledge it, he helped to fasten the growth of their plants. Everyone on the Island thought that it must be because of the compost which Cecilia made. Because of this, the citizens starting to idolized and respected her as the leader of this island. "I heard the livestock you are
