"Why do I become this stupid?" Max pull his hair in frustration. It is started because of that pudding.
To be honest, Max wasn't angry to Cecilia. He's just getting annoyed about a man that can make his Chili smile shyly like a lovesick girl. Something he was unable to do.
He was angry to himself because let his feeling enraged and lost of it control. Turned everything into such a mess.
Instead of face it, he threw it to that innocent girl. For all day, he tries to found a way to apologize about his rude behavior.
Then, when he watched Cecilia cooking in a wide smile, something boiling under his skin. A bad thought crossing his mind and made his insecurity rate getting higher.
"Those bastard who can taste it. I swear, I will…,"
But it stopped when he can hear her voice clearly. When he knows that this pudding is specialized made for him, Max's surprised. He i
"Long time no see, K." Grant said with proud smirk."You are not welcomed here. So, get out from my sight." She said in cold tone.But, the man is walking toward her and cut their distance until it only several inches left.For her, Grant is still handsome as she could remember. As if these seventeen years mean nothing."The game is over because I found you." He said with a longing gaze.There is no word that can describe his feeling. He wants to bury himself on her embrace. Let those yearning feeling disappear into nothingness. He want her became a part of his boring yet lonely life.Kaleela gulped and refused this result. Lose is not a word that exist on her dictionary. No matter how much she loved him, Kaleela doesn't want to let him got the victory.Then she took a step back and kick the cauldron, let the potion flooded in the floor between the
"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
