Not the Novel World
20. Chocolate powder

After completing his task at the plantation, Seint and Artem immediately headed to the capital. On his way Seint thought of visiting Duke Marven's residence first to meet Lilian, but instead of Lilian he met but the father of the girl.

After a little chat with Duke Marven, Zheyan and Artem immediately headed to the market on their own horses to meet Lilian continuing her discussion of cooperation.

Zheyan and Artem were looking for Lilian when they had reached the market. Amidst the search they saw residents gathered in a shop, initially thinking the residents had gathered because they were hunting for discounts but their steps were stopped when someone mentioned Lilian's name.

After understanding the situation, Seint walked through the crowd of residents to get to his destination. When Seint saw Raina, one of the noble princesses was sitting on the store floor crying.

Seint was silent for some time to hear what Lilian was trying to convey to Raina. Seint occasionally raised his eyebrows upon hearing the words coming out of Lilian's little mouth so sharply.

After Lilian finished talking to Raina the girl turned right in front of her. As the girl showed her confused look, Seint immediately pulled the girl's hand and walked away from the crowd.

Seint continued to pull Lilian's hand towards the horse care that he had previously left at the horse care service.

Lilian looked confused as Seint led her towards his horse. "Why should we come here?" Lilian.

"We're home." Seint.

Lilian thought for a moment and a moment then smiled happily. "You mean I'm going home on this horse?" Lilian.

"We." Said Sein while looking intently at Lilian.

"Yes.that's what I mean." Lilian.

"Good." Say Seint flat.

"But I don't know how to ride a horse." Lilian.

Seint sighed softly and then placed one hand of Lilian on his shoulder. "Take this horse saddle and one hand you put on the horse's back." Seint.

Lilian looked happily at Seint. "Can you talk so long from now on? I sometimes find it very difficult to translate your short words." Lilian.

"Ride up!" Say Seint ketus.

Then Lilian rode Seint's horse in annoyance. After making sure Lilian was riding on horseback, Seint then rode the same horse as Lilian.

Lilian was startled as her back touched Seint's field chest. "Why are you riding on the same horse?" Lilian asked nervously.

"This is my horse." Seint.

"Then I'll go down." Lilian said as she moved her body down on the horse.

"A little bit you move on my horse I'll make sure you come home with me carrying!" Seint.

Lilian who was intending to descend from the top of Seint's horse stopped her intentions when she heard Seint's words. He stared in horror at Seint while the one in the face only gave a flat expression.

"You speak long and yet terrifying." Lilian.

"Then do it." Said Seint while pulling the horse's harness.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Seint and Lilian left. They knew that their crown prince was cold and untouchable, but today they saw with their own eyes when Seint came and pulled Lilian's hand away, not only that, Lillian was even allowed by Seint to ride his horse which so far no one he allowed to ride it.

They begin to make the conclusion that prince Seint has fallen in love with the youngest daughter of Duke Marven.

°°°

On the way home to Duke Marven a quiet atmosphere was created between Seint and Lilian. No one wanted to start a conversation, Lilian occasionally cleared her throat to melt the atmosphere.

"Why?" Ask Seint.

"Why what?" Ask Lilian back.

"Why can you fight?" Ask Seint again.

"Let's go. He started." Lilian said annoyed given the events in the market.

"Tell me!" Seint Vocational

Lilian sighed softly. "It seems I need a lot of patience when talking to you, can't you talk a little longer?". Lilian.

"Tell me!" Say again.

"All right." Said Lilian annoyed, "I was shopping for cloth for the needs of the Festival later, when choosing the girl to come with the waiter did not know herself, he said, at first we just chatted normally but the longer he spoke like insinuating me, at first I was still mediocre but seeing the behavior of his servant who did not know ethics at all it made me upset, he said, oh yeah until he forgets what about Rosa.he can find me everywhere if he doesn't see me there, let's turn around." Lilian.

"Fussy." Seint said, "Rosa went home with Artem." Further again.

Lilian just nodded then she went back to telling him about whatever he met, Seint just smiled as thinly as possible hearing the girl unceasingly tell him the funny things she was going through.

When Seint and Lilian arrived. They went straight to the coffee plant that Lilian had brought.

"This is the first process that is direct drying in the sun, if the weather is bright like this continues then in the next few days the water content will decrease and we will immediately start the second process." Lilian.

"Yeah, let me take you." Lilian.

"No need, Artem's been waiting for me outside." Seint.

"Well then, I hope to go home safely and see you tomorrow." Lilian.

Seint simply nodded and walked away from Lilian.

°°°

This was where Lilian was now, after seeing the process of drying coffee berries, Lilian went straight to where Zheyan and the servants were.

Previously Zheyan has separated the dried cocoa fruit with cocoa fruit that still needs the drying process.

"Silver now we do the second process that is the separation of cocoa beans from the fruit, how to put the cocoa fruits in the sack and hit hard." Lilian.

Zheyan nodded briefly. "So soon do what you said!" Zheyan.

The servants did as Zheyan and Lilian had commanded. After a while Lilian checked the contents of the sack that had been hit earlier.

Lilian smiled happily at the results obtained. "Take me a large container and fill it with water!" Lilian.

Then some servants brought a container and filled it with water until it was full.

"Put the seeds into the water and separate the sinking seeds with the floating seeds." Lilian.

The servants then did as Lilian had commanded them right.

"After that sunbathe the seeds that we have soaked earlier, we rest for a while while waiting for the seeds to dry." Lilian.

All nodded and carried out the task according to the instructions Lilian gave. Zheyan and Lilian had lunch together at the cocoa processing site while waiting for the beans to dry.

After making sure the beans were dry, Lilian ordered the servants to light a fire and roast the cocoa beans using a sizable pan. After the cacao beans are black, Lilian told the servants to take out the seeds.

After roasting the cocoa beans, Lilian ordered the waiters to press the cocoa beans using a tool that Lilian had asked Zheyan to obtain brown fat.

The next step is to pound the hard-pressed seeds, then filter them using the cloth that Lilian had previously bought.

After doing a process that takes a long time finally they get a chocolate powder that is ready for them to process.

"The chocolate powder is ready, Brother." Lilian said happily.

"This brown powder is very fragrant but after Brother tried it it was so bitter, are you sure we made it." Ask Zheyan.

Lilian nodded enthusiastically. "You're right Brother, this powder is bitter because we have not processed it into a cake or drink, there are still ingredients that we must prepare first." Lilian.

"What will we do next?" Ask Zheyan.

"Making the rest of the materials we need, this morning I've bought everything we need just waiting for news from Kak asgar alone." Lilian.

"What news?" Ask Zheyan.

"Before I ever asked to find milk in large quantities, we wait for Asgar to bring it and we do the next process, then we do, while waiting for the material that we will need to store first the chocolate powder in a cool place to be durable." Lilian

Zheyan then nodded then directed his gaze at the servants. "Continue monitoring the cocoa fruit that is still in the sun and do the process as we did earlier, Today you have worked hard so rest and save the chocolate powder to a cool place, so that you can, keep." Zheyan.

"Good sir." Speak the servants simultaneously.

Then Zheyan and Lilian walked towards the main residence to rest. Just as they were about to walk into each other's rooms a female servant immediately stood in their way.

"Greetings Mr and Young Miss, the great sir told me to see you soon." Said the waiter.

"All right, you can go." Zheyan.

Lilian breathed a heavy sigh. "For sure because of this morning's trouble." Lilian.

Zhenyan frowned confusedly. "What happened this morning?" Ask Zheyan.

"So morning when I went to the market I met with Miss Raina, there we were involved a little problem, For more details I will explain later," Lilian again took a heavy breath. "I am so tired." Further.

"Sister will accompany you to see Dad." Zheyan said in a nod by Lilian.

They walked straight to his father's office.
