Cookie Run Kingdom Herb X Sparkling Novels & Stories

And what they gained… was beyond any of their expectations. From the coastal town of Eastridge, the family-run “Brine & Spice Co.”—specializing in sea salt blends and sun-dried ocean herbs—found themselves making deals with the culinary guilds of Livra and Solstra. Their salted lemon ash blend? Now en route to being a staple in royal banquets across three UNA nations.

The world was my playground, and I was the king. I turned my attention to the Hypnotic Perfume, examining the small, elegant bottle in my hand. The liquid inside shimmered enticingly, promising to enhance my powers even further. I noticed a small inscription on the bottle: "Refillable. $100,000 per refill. Each refill provides 10 sprays."

Suddenly, it glowed again and Loki could have sworn she heard something in her head when it glowed. Shocked and confused, she instantly drops it on the dresser and it stopped glowing. She breathed in and out to steady her self then reached out to touch it again. She wanted to confirm she wasn't imagining things and slowly going crazy too. But just before she touched it again, another wave of nausea hit her and she hurriedly ran into the restroom again. The urge to throw up was so intense that Loki hadn't had time to raise and hold her hair from off her face before she began gagging into the toilet bowl.

He turns back to her but she’s walking down the bar to a cupboard under the back bar and starts going through some bottles kept down there. She pulls out an old dusty bottle, takes it to the sink and rinses off the layer of dust before returning to them with the bottle and two glasses. She pours them two generous glasses and gestures at them as Molly walks away down to the other end of the bar. Kai takes a sip of the liquor, a spiced alcoholic beverage made by infusing a mixture of rum, red wine, and honey with tree bark and herbs. Ash follows suit and groans as he swallows, it’s even better than the stuff they import.

Hendrick shakes his head, closing his hands into fists, “No, not you. I smell Artemisia absinthium.” Leaning in, he sniffs at the liquid again, my small brain cells running around hastily to free the books filled with my Latin knowledge from the dust. “Erm…” I stand there lost while I can observe Lisa going paler and paler. “I also smell rue and salvia. It’s quite the herbal mixture, seeing that Missy likes it sweet and fruity, isn’t it?” Hendrick tilts his head at Lisa, and she gulps visibly. “I- I did put in a bit of sweet,” she suddenly admits having prepared it, maybe because Hendrick’s hypnotic powers are taking their toll on her.

I tell the old former King, my eyes concentrating on the room, still looking for what I needed. “Take whatever you need. I will leave you to it.” Hunji's father tells me before departing the storeroom and leaving me to my own devices. Aimlessly, but purposefully I wander around the room. My lips begin a slow upturn as I spy what I need. “Black haw, false unicorn root, cramp bark, and wild yam root,” I say to myself picking up each ingredient.

I know all the hidden gems, the best restaurants, the quietest places, and the best clubs. “You want to know my hair products?” I taunt. “Hey now!” I reach up and plant a kiss on his cheek. “For your information, it’s called Hair Milk.” “Sounds delicious.” “It’s for curls!” “I’m also for curls. Does that count for anything?” I pull away, so confused by what this man is telling me. “What does that even mean?!” “You tell me.” Sebastian pulls me back down, our naked skin causing friction that affects me deeply.

Levante opened the last drawer of the refrigerator, exposing a variety of desserts and candies there, along with some healing potions and the potions made of Whisper Moss, Moon Tears, and Sun-Drop Lily. "Here!" He held out a candy. "It has the right amount of sugar. It will—" "What are these?" I asked, my voice cracking. He looked at the drawer and then at me. "Oh, these are all customized for your health. Your healer suggested the right amount of sugar to avoid the side effects. Oh, the sugar is made from Moon Bloom. So, it has none of the side effects of regular cane sugar—" I stood there as he explained everything as though it was normal. Even when he was explaining everything properly, h

I trailed off when I saw her preparing to stand, a gesture that she would leave, and I choked on the words at the tip of my tongue. “Forget it, continue.” I mumbled in a low voice, before glaring at the old man, who was busy laughing secretly. He even dared to ignore me, before turning to face Exalia, “My Lady is such an interesting person.” He pointed out, and Exalia gave a bashful smile. “My name is Exalia.” She corrected in a soft voice, and the old man nodded slightly. “This is a willow bark extract, to relieve pain.” “Those are cough remedies, made from the extract of licorice roots.”

Well, Meisi will make sure that she will never have a child in that palace, she will never name her own child. “ Have you served Her Majesty the Queen her tea this morning?” Meisi said to the silence of her room, The sneaky young maid entered from the secret room. She was the same girl Meisi gave the pouch containing the infertility herbs to, to put in the Queen's tea. The pouch contained a reasonable amount of grounded licorice and Sylvanis petals, licorice on its own works like a normal medicine and has a sweet taste but when mixed with even a small amount of Sylvanis petals, it becomes a dangerous concoction that renders women barren whenever they ingest it. And this young maid has been f
