Chương 23: Conquest Plan

Anastasia walked towards the fat man and saw the look on his face confused. Anastasia tried to call him several times because the fat man was lost in his own thoughts so that Anastasia's call was not heard by the fat man.

'Mr. Head chef? Mr. Head chef? Excuse me?' Anastasia was a little annoyed that Mr. Head Chef did not hear her call.

Then Anastasia walked closer to the Head Chef and patted Mr. Head Chef on the shoulder.

"Mr. Head Chef?"

"Eh ... Who !!" Mr. Head Chef immediately turned his body to the right to know who had startled him.

The head chef's sudden circular motion took Anastasia by surprise, made Anastasia take 2 steps back, and unknowingly dropped the recipe paper Anastasia was carrying in her hand.

"Sorry to surprise you Mr. Head Chef."

"Oh, apparently Princess Anastasia. Forgive my impudence, which moved suddenly and surprised you, Princess Anastasia." Mr. Head Chef lowered his body and put his right hand on his chest as an apology.

"No need to apologize Mr. Head Chef, I was at fault for interrupting your work." Anastasia waved her hands in front of Mr. Head Chef.

"You rarely go to the kitchen. Is there anything I can help you with, Princess?" The Chief Chef was delighted to be visited by Princess Anastasia.

"Oh, of course, there is Mr. Head Chef. I want to give you a recipe for this. Eh ...!" Anastasia shows the hand she remembers carrying the recipe paper from the Kingdom of Trules. But Anastasia only shows her empty hand to Mr. Head Chef.

"Did you drop the recipe paper, Princess?" The head chef thought that Anastasia had dropped her recipe paper down Anastasia's way into the kitchen.

"No, Mr. Head Chef. I think I dropped it in surprise at your movements." Anastasia begins to see the floor around her standing.

"Ah ... You mean this paper, Princess?" Mr. Head Chef turned around and found the paper behind him.

"Yes, that is what I mean, Mr. Head Chef." Anastasia is relieved after the paper she was looking for is found, because she is worried that Anastasia will not be able to try the sweet food recipe from the Trules kingdom.

Mr. head chef wanted to take it and give it to Anastasia, but because of the large body of the Mr. head chef, it was difficult for his hand to reach the recipe paper.

Anastasia saw the head chef who was having difficulty reaching for the recipe paper on the floor, immediately took it.

"Ah ... I'm sorry Princess Anastasia. Looks like I need to exercise." Mr. Head Chef immediately lifted his body, with his hand that held his waist.

"Why do you look confused, Mr. Head Chef?"

"I am confused by the sacks of groceries that the Kingdom of Trules sent to the Kingdom of Odeviel, even though I did not order ingredients to make sweet food. Even the butler doesn't know who ordered it. I doubt if I can explain to the king about the problem. this foodstuff. " Mr head chef shows the food ingredients that are being brought by the chefs and arranged in the food storage warehouse.

"From the Kingdom of Trules? This is probably the foodstuff that the Head Chef of the Trules kingdom was referring to." Anastasia handed the paper recipe she had just taken from the floor to the Head Chef.

Mr. Head Chef then read the recipe paper and chuckled.

"Ahh, I understand now. So this is a gift from the Chief Chef of the Trules Kingdom to Princess Anastasia as a sign of congratulations on your engagement."

"The Chief Chef of the Trules Kingdom gave me this recipe."

"Surely you will praise this food in front of the chef."

"Yes, that's right. Because the sweets I tried at the Tea Party in the Kingdom of Trules were so delicious."

"It is a chef's pride in that. Since the chef of the Trules Kingdom has given you your engagement gift, it would be unfair if I as the Chief Chef of the Royal Odeviel I do not give an engagement gift to the Princess." Feeling preceded by the Chief Chef of the Trules Kingdom to give Anastasia a gift, Mr. Head Chef Royal Odeviel will make gifts for Anastasia with his own hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Head Chef."

"Isn't Mr. Head Chef's nickname too long, My name is Aston Berry. You can call me Aston, Princess."

Then Aston went to the cooking table in the middle of the royal kitchen. The table is big enough with cooking utensils complete with stove.

"This time I will cook a special meal for Princess Anastasia myself. I will make this food much tastier than what the Chief Chef of the Trules Kingdom has made. You guys prepare these ingredients I need." Aston mentioned the ingredients listed on the recipe paper and some additional ingredients for the members to prepare.

His hands were already proficient at chopping fruits quickly. Aston is a chef who has served in the Odeviel kingdom for 2 generations of kings. So it's no wonder his skill is not in doubt and he is the Head Chef of the Odeviel kingdom.

Anastasia who is still in the royal kitchen is stunned and her mouth opens because of Aston's cooking style. Even though his body is fat, Aston's cooking method is like acrobatics, his movements are very smooth and purposeful.

Interrupted by Aston cooking, Anastasia asked a question that Anastasia had not yet got the answer to.

"Aston? May I ask you one thing?" Anastasia who doesn't want to interfere with Aston's acrobatics, it's better to ask Aston's readiness first.

"Of course, Princess"

"Have you ever had problems with a girl, Aston?"

"Did you fight with your fiancé? If you need some advice, I'll give you some."

"Ah... Not Prince Leonard but another man."

Then Aston told some solution options that Anastasia could do to solve the problem.

"Having trouble with men when you are 12 years old, it's normal. Since men prefer to act rather than talk, maybe the solution options I provide can solve your problem, Princess Anastasia."

"Thank you, Aston. It turns out you are more experienced in this matter than Helena."

"Helena? You should not ask too personal questions to Helena, Princess." Aston, who previously had a loud voice, now lowered his voice and whispered it to Anastasia.

"The sweet food is finished. Please try, Princess." Aston made several variations of the recipe given by Anastasia.

"Wow, you made a lot of food, Aston." Anastasia took some and ate them. "It's so good. Looks like I can eat it all."

Anastasia ate it until she was full.

"You'd better not eat it until you're full, Princess, because dinner time will soon arrive."

"Oops ..." Anastasia forgot about dinner, and her stomach was full before dinner arrived.
