Hugo was unlucky today. Started from this morning, he almost died because of food poisoning, attacked by a stranger, and just when he wants to get rest, his employer, Max, is going away.
Hugo has no choice but to stay at the base to greet the guests. Scorpion has no closing time. They loyally served for 24/7 non-stop.
Duke Lancia was sitting and elegantly crossed his leg. He keep silent since came to this room but Hugo feeling so small under his gaze.
'I hate this man,' Hugo thought to himself. 'He didn't do anything and suddenly I have an urge to peeing myself."
"What are you doing to my daughter?" Just like usual, he is a straightforward man.
Hugo raised his brows and collected the remaining of his courage, "It's such an honor for me to meet a man like you, His Highness. However, I don't understand about your question."
"How did my daughter get a copy of the South
Christo felt something chilly on his neck. He tightened his scarf and start writing again. His office was almost completely in the darkness because he only used one candle on his desk. But one is enough. The report of Hongport's shipment almost done and his cup was empty. But, Christo doesn't need another coffee. "Just one hour," he said to himself. "After that, I can make a summary of it. Oh, wait, I might as well write another list of the expiration date of the goods. Two copies. One for Father and The Chef." Most of the shipment was a food supplies like wheats, seasoning, flours, etc. To be frank, the expiration list wasn't needed. Since, they always running out the stock before reached the date. But, Christo is Christo. He likes to make detailed information. Once he begins, he can't stop. It was same with his love story. Once he starts falling in love, he
Mary was shocked with her employer's appetite. Cecilia ate three plates of spicy chicken soup when she can't even ate the half of it.But, what make she amazed more was because Cecilia gave so many suggestions to the chef. Since when did she know how to cook? Mary asked to herself."Have you ever tried to fermented a cabbage in the spicy broth?" Cecilia asked."This is the first time I ever heard it, Miss." The Head Chef of the restaurant, Adrian, scratching his head in confussion.In her past as Ji Eun, she read so many cookbooks or watch a lot of cooking shows but never have a chance to practice it. Still, she felt confident with her ability, "Can I see your kitchen?"Adrian nodded, "Of course, Miss. You are lucky because we didn't have so many guest."In facts, Adrian's restaurant was strugling because there are so many competitors in this little town and his res
Duke Lancia is getting bored today. His plan to quarantine the patients from Cadia's Kingdom didn't find any obstacle.The Emperor, Arthur William Alexander IV, gladly agreed on it. Because this idea didn't need so much energy or money to buy weapons, hire spies, or paying the knight's salary.The thing they have to prepare is to build the hospitals on the border of Atrazal and Cadia, Blackthorn Town, which have beautiful scenery and hires several medical teams.With a bit help from Armano, Mr Hambbel successfully found the antidote for the pandemic.If everything works according to the plan, The Cadia's citizen will refuse to go back to their homeland.The people who got quarantined in the Atrazal Empire will get emperor's protection. Which means, they will get a stable job, better income and better environment than Cardia.And this is actually the main objection o
The South Island is as good as shethought.Ceciliagladbecause she waswearingher summer dress. Because theclimateis sohot. Unlike the Capital, this island has tropical climate. Which mean they only have two seasons. Dryandrain. She was greeted by Baron Howard Ambrose and his daughter, who called Havana, in the city hall. That is the biggest building in this island. Baron look disappointed when he knows that the Duke doesn't come.How come I had to work with this child? He asked to himself. My daughter is a year older than her. "Then, lets go take a look, Baron Ambrose." Cecilia said while her knights are moving her stuff. "Young Lady, please take a rest. You just already arrived." "No, no. I'm okay. It's still morning anyway. We can come b
Just as Cecilia's instruction, every adults woman in South Island gathers on the city hall's kitchen.Halves of them were cook and the other prepares the ingredients.All of the man prepares the tables and stages on the town squares. They look so happy because it's been a long time since they never celebrate anything.It's so sad to know that they stopped having any festivals. Their life was full with bustle, work and labor.The kids were playing around and everyone seem enjoy the moment.Meanwhile, Cecilia talk to the carpenters for make a stable for the horse and the farmers to gathers weeds or grass.She bought all of the fruits, vegetables, meats and seeds from the merchant on the market without even bargain it.But all of the merchants was surprised when that noble lady asking about the rotten fruit and willing to pay five bronze coins for eve
Cecilia crossed her arms, "Why are you here? You are spying on me, aren't you?"Max smiled. It's hardly to see his expression behind his crow mask, "Of course, no. I am working, right now."Cecilia's brows raised and suddenly she has a bad feeling, "Don't tell me..,""Yes, Duke Lancia hired me as your guards. Be happy, Young Lady. I was the best one for this matter."It's was a half truth. Surely, Duke Lancia hire a member from his guild.Max was the one who chose Hugo as the guard on the South Island. But, he change his mind after their fateful meeting. Especially since Grant 'kidnapped' her, Max chooses to follow her around. Of course as a client. Nothing more or less. Or so he thought."Do you mean by stalking someone?" Cecilia didn't know why did she always being cynical to him.Max holds his chest with a fake painful expression, "Ouch! You hurt me, My Lady
"Wow! This is amazing!" Cecilia's jaw dropped when she saw a beautiful lake which surrounded with pines trees. And it just a few yards from the city hall.The moon isn't visible tonight. But stars was shining so brightly and the surface of this lake was perfectly reflected it. The sound of cicadas makes everything in harmony."Please, sit here." Max said after he put his handkerchief on the ground."Thank you. I bring no handkerchief, now. I will wash yours later.""No need, Chili. You can keep it. I have so many of it."Cecilia giggled, "Of course, you must be doing this a lot, right?"Max smiles and choose to not say anything. Since Cecilia thought that he is a big flirter, he has to maintain his pride. Even though Max never dated any girl before.However, he was unsure about who flirt who. Because, his heart feel a bit weird today. Maybe, I'm ju
"Why you look so sad, Chili?" "No reason. I'm just thinking." "Like I said before, just do what you think is right. You can't control their reaction toward yours. But, you can control your reaction toward their action." Cecilia stares at his interlocutor, "How old are you, Max?" But he shook his head, "It is not wise to asking someone ages. But, since you are the exception, I will tell you. It's nineteen next year." "Oh, you're matured well! I thought you were in mid twenties." Max smirked and Cecilia wonders what kind of face which hidden under his mask. "Let's just say I handle so many things in the guild." "What is the strangest thing you ever face at your guild?" Max tilted his head, "I got a request to take a stone from a dragon who stays deep in the cave." "A stone from a dragon?" Cecilia gasped an
