It was 11 a.m. in the morning. I changed into my black long coat with a white outline on the sleeves, and walked downstairs. As I looked around, Lifer had accidentally broken a glass on the console table.
As Lifer rubbed her legs, one of the servants said, "Good morning, your highness. May your wishes come true."
"Good morning, dear, have a nice day", I said with a smile while patting Lifer.
"Your highness, I would like to say that Chef Stifa is not on duty because she is not well, so will it be appropriate if servant Heidi cooks food for today?" she asked with a tone of fear in her voice.
"No, let me deal with it today. Send some console for Chef Stifa", I said coldly.
"As you say your highness", she said.
So, I headed to the kitchen to check whatwas on the menu today. I pulled out all the essentials and tied my hair into a messy bun.
The pantry door reflection showed how radiant and attractive I looked with the messy bun, and I felt pleased with myself.
I decided to make sandwiches for breakfast, tempered rice for lunch, and planned to go out with everyone for dinner. Therefore, I sent Dylan a message describing the whole scene and asking him to be at the café we usually dine in, the one in the city.
I took myself upstairs to freshen up and returned at 11.30 a.m. to start my cooking skills.
By the time I had prepared breakfast, it was noon. When I was about to go upstairs to wake Knarl, I heard the main gate open. I walked to the main entrance and saw Dylan entering through the front door, as the guards opened it for him.
His professional suit, which he wore as a Mafia member, looked fit and attractive to him. I had no time to change my clothes.
I saw him feeling so happy but I couldn't figure out the reason behind it. In her last night's suit, Knarl walked down the stairs. They both stared at each other passionately for some minutes as I stepped into the main hall where they stood.
I cleared my throat to regain their attention. With a blushing smile on her face, Knarl walked back to change. Dylan stammered when explaining his arrival reason.
"I came... Here... Because...", he stammered while seeing Knarl go back upstairs.
"Relax bro, take a seat and let me get you some wine", I said with a cunning smile, understanding his tremble, since he fell for Knarl's glow.
He slowly exhaled, and with a smile, said "Silly me, I guess I was just mesmerized by her beauty."
"Uhm, Okay, tell me two things: 1- What made you come to my house this morning at 2 am suddenly and play the fool?
2- now why are you here without prior notice?", I eagerly wanted to know the reason for his presence.
"Upsspss, your highness, how will I answer you this!!!", he replied with some underlying purpose in his voice.
"Why won't you tell me", I said.
He looked around to make sure no guards or servants around. He got closer to me and whispered;
He replied, "I'll give you one answer, don't ask me more than that".
I shouted loudly, "Fine! Don't get on my nerves, I'll dash you".
"Shush, relax, relax, it was Ferdinaz who wanted to see you this morning. And now he wanted to send you some food", he whispered.
