"If we take you in, wouldn't it be troublesome for us since you had that slave belt on your neck?"The woman stiffened and unconsciously grasped her neck. That made Minerva's brows furrow. Slave belt?"Slavery was extremely prohibited in the Halen Empire. I wonder what Adira could say about this." Her mother interjected, which made the woman wince."Tsk."Minerva hid her smile when she saw her father going in the direction of the woman and holding the slave belt around her neck. The woman shivered and closed her eyes."Tsk." Her father once again clicked his tongue and stood up. The slave belt on her neck was now broken into pieces by her father.Her mother, who watched this with Minerva, smiled and reached her hand."Let's go? Those from the restaurant might notice that the slave belt on your neck was broken, so we had to leave. " Her mother

"G-good morning, Y-your Highness...""Oh, Rosemary. Good morning to you, too."Minerva nodded her head at Rosemary, who seemed bashful."Why did you stay outside? Where's daddy?""U-uhm... I-I wanted to w-wait for Y-Your Highness...""I see." She said. "Then, let's go."The two of them went into the dining room of the guest house in Aunt Adira's palace. And as per her father's request, the maids would station outside the room where they would occupy. Of course, the main reason was to be with her mother without anyone's knowledge.As they went inside the dining room, her parents were already inside waiting for her."Good morning, Mommy. Good morning, Daddy." Minerva enthusiastically greeted and went into her mother's direction to sit on her side. Afterward, she leaned into her and gave her a peck on her cheek."Good morning, my p

"Would you like to try some?" Santi asked Kristina as he pointed at the barbeque. Kristina arched her left brow before she nodded her head."Give us two." Santi said to the young man. The young man was immediately thrilled and quickly heated up the barbeque.As they waited for the young man to heat up the barbeque, Minerva watched the young man as he skillfully spread the sauce on the meat.They did not wait for long as the young man finished heating the barbeque and handing it to Santi and Kristina. Santi paid the young man and took a look at the glistening barbeque due to its sauce before he took a bite."Hmm. It's tastier than I thought." He said and nodded his head.Kristina arched her left brow before she took a bite. She also nodded her head in approval before she placed her barbeque in front of Minerva."Baby, take a bite. The meat was tender

Contrary to Minerva's expectation, Viscount Cerda wasn't as calm as she thought he was. He was gritting his teeth inside and cursing his daughter a thousand times in his head.That stupid girl! She was already useless as a maceo, yet she let this punk unravel the secret that they were hiding for so long!Viscount Cedra tried to calm himself. Despite the fact that this Marquis Montcada was a disappointment and a jerk, having doubts about his daughter's identity as a masterchef could derail their plan. He had to placate everyone and assure them that what this punk said was wrong. Especially now that the wench has suddenly gone missing. He had used some excuses for this, but it wouldn't be good for the long run.As Viscount Cerda was thinking, he saw that a mage went forward to Marquis Montcada and whispered something. They did not know what it was. But all they knew was t

"H-how... How was this possible?" Adira couldn't help but ask as she looked at Kristina from head to toe."I told you, didn't I? Nothing can stop me." Kristina said proudly. But, she sighed afterward and glanced at her unconscious child who was being tendered to by her husband, Santi.Adira had a lot of things to ask for. But seeing her worried about her daughter, she swallowed all the questions that wanted to come out of her mouth and instead asked something."What happened to Minnie?"Kristina sighed, "We were attacked by three people. I don't know what the identity of the two men was but the woman was somewhat familiar to me but I couldn't recall her at all."She told Adira about what happened. After Minerva fainted, Santi was mad and almost went berserk. But it seemed that they had prepared beforehand as before Santi went berserk, the three was suddenl
