I Became Crown Prince's Wife
The appearance of Ancia (11)

'Don't joke about things like that!I was really surprised!'

"Are you worried?"

'Of course!'

"sorry. I'm glad you're worried.”

Blake took my hand.

'Don't say that. It doesn't feel good to worry about someone.'

I held her hand in response.

His small, plump hand had now turned into the hand of a man.

Heart's sinking. He was much taller, bigger, and stronger than me, but I was still worried about him.

I started to worry as soon as I saw him sitting on the field back then.

"Okay I'm sorry. Do not put on a face like that.”

Blake patted my head.

I tried to smile. I don't want to see Blake sad.

"You're not really hurt, are you?"

"Yes, I'm not hurt at all."

I checked his wrist just in case. Edon approached us.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? I heard you got hurt, but you look fine. What to worry about."

Edon knew from the beginning that Blake was very strong. Even without checking whether Blake was injured or not, he could still tell.

“What's Edon?”

"Your Majesty called you."

“Tell him I can't right now.I need to teach Rose. ”

Blake looked.

'No need.I went to the library in the morning.I want to take a day off today because I'm tired.'

"…ok."

Blake sulking.

I didn't expect him to act that way but seeing him resemble a disappointed puppy, my resolve became a little weak.

'Let's study together tonight.'

"In the evening?"

'…Yes.'

"Okay, let's study at night."

Blake smiled brightly.

***

"Oh my God, what should we do?"

I went to the palace but the atmosphere was somehow tense.

I approached Chelsea quickly, wondering why so many people had gathered.

“Nona Rose!”

I immediately wrote in my notebook, asking what was going on.

"The kitchen's hurt."

I've never seen it in person but I'm worried.

— Was he hurt really bad?

Chelsea shook her head.

“No, he must have slipped and his back slightly sprained. But she won't be able to cook for a few days.”

Although the sprain was dangerous, fortunately no major incident occurred.

“Chef Terry went to collect ingredients with other chefs. Melissa's coming back late today. We are worried about meal preparation.”

I looked at the servants. They're all in this state because of Blake's eating arrangements.

Many of them were children of nobles. They rarely cook on their own.

— I'll cook.

Chelsea surprised.

"You gonna?"

I entered the room with a nod.

But Camilla stopped me.

"What?"

Voice alert.

"Miss Rose said she'd prepare the meal today."

Chelsea explained it to me.

But Camilla's face was stiff.

"What are you trying to do? Outsiders are not allowed.”

"How is Miss Rose an outsider?"

“He guest.”

“Yes, but no other way. Let's leave it to Miss Rose this time. Lunch time soon.”

"Yes, leave him with the responsibility."

The other waiter agreed but Camilla kept her mouth shut, looking dissatisfied.

"It's a hundred times better than not eating at all."

Even Charlotte who hates me agrees.

I feel nostalgic entering the kitchen after all this time.

Looking into the kitchen, I understood why they were panicking.

Nothing is ready except soup.

I have to make everything from the beginning.

"Miss Rose, can you do it?"

Chelsea looked a little nervous.

I took out the ingredients and immediately started cooking.

I was too late, so I chose to cook a familiar dish.

I cut the mushrooms into small pieces and cooked them.

"Your Majesty hates mushrooms."

The servants giggled.

Turns out, Blake was still picky eaters.

- Don't worry. This is his favorite dish.

I worry about what to do if I forget how to cook, but luckily I remember everything.

The servants who were standing outside, hurriedly went inside to help me cook.

"What's this!? Are you going to give this to him?”

Camilla raised her voice in wonder. The other servants were also sympathetic.

“I think we can trust you because you are so confident! But what kind of weird dish is this?”

“Be careful what you say. This is a dish from the east.”

Chelsea corrects other waiters. He recognized that the dish was from the east, though I did not explain it.

“Eastern Conference?”

“Yes, I also heard that Blake was enjoying an eastern dish back then. So no problem.”

"Is that right…?"

The Chelsea family had a merchant union, which was also considered to be one of the best in the empire, so it had all sorts of information and an incredible ability to gather it. After listening to his explanation, everyone was silent.

But Camilla stayed.

“It was true when he was a kid, but he hates it all now. I've never seen him eat eastern dishes.”

Blake hasn't eaten an eastern dish since I left…

Terry didn't make the eastern cooking he learned from me.

“Because this is a dish made by Rose, she will love it. Camilla please be polite. Miss Rose is an important guest of Her Majesty.”

“Chelsea, you can't warn me.you came last among the servants. I'm your senior.”

"Are you going to be like this?"

Chelsea's dumbfounded.

“I artiormu. Melissa and the higher-ups aren't here. Of course you have to follow my orders. ”

Camilla glared at me coldly.

“I've contacted another chef. Chef said he'd be here, so you're out. ”

“Why are you saying this now?! We've made it! If you are going to do this from the beginning, you should not panic!”

"I didn't think he'd make this."

Camilla put my plate down. The irritation he felt was evident in his eyes.

“Do not lie!you didn't even come into the kitchen and you called the chef! You don't want to let Rose cook from the start! ”

As Chelsea said, Camilla contacted the chef without coming to the kitchen. He called out to her without even looking at my dishes.

Although Camilla's trick was discovered, she was confident.

"of course. How can I give His Majesty a dish made by such a woman? What if the disease is contagious?”

“You can't say that!”

“Yeah, it's not wrong.”

When Charlotte agreed with Camilla, the other servants nodded.

"Absolutely. We never know."

"I think so too."

"That doesn't make sense!"

I immediately pulled up Chelsea's sleeve.

- It's okay.

They all agreed, and Chelsea could not protest alone.

"But Miss Rose, we've made it ..."

I wrote it again in my notebook.

- It's really fine.

I tried to smile at Chelsea and left the kitchen.

He tried to comfort me. However, the kitchen was lacking energy. Time is running out and we still have to make other dishes.

I trudged into the hall, repeatedly saying it was fine. Suddenly, Edon came and asked, “Nona Rose, where are you going?”

— I'll go to Amoria Palace.

I pretended to be fine, but I was still upset.I thought going to the Amoria Palace would make my mood improve.

— His Majesty has given me permission.

I added quickly. Then Edon smiled.

"I know I'll take Miss Rose to the palace. ”

'No need.'

I shook my head and waved my hand. I just went for a walk. But he's smiling.

“Your Majesty ordered me to escort you. I'll get in trouble if you go alone.”

Edon smiled as he said that.

- Thank you.

I bow my head politely.

"I'm so happy."

He thanked me suddenly. When I asked him why, he calmly opened his mouth.

“To be honest, the Crown Prince had a very difficult time after His Majesty disappeared. But she's become a lot brighter since she met Miss Rose.”

“……”

“It's been a long time since I last saw him smile. It's all thanks to Miss Rose. Thank you very much."

I could feel Edon's affection for Blake in his words.

Luckily Blake had a lot of good people by his side.
