"Mr. Kim," she said. "Did you say you were a baker?"
Junkyu nodded.
"Yeah," he explained. "As a matter of fact, my siblings and I actually have our own shop back in Seoul."
"Right," Stacie said. "Well, as you know, I'm getting married, and I could use an expert opinion on my wedding cake. The Royal pastry chef here has his own way of doing things, and I'm not sure if they reach my standards."
Junkyu smiled.
"Well, when it comes to wedding cakes, the bride is always right," he said.
The Princess chuckles, and nods. Before leaving, she stops to say:
"I know it's kinda short notice, but will you join me to the palace for a consultation later? Just please don't tell anyone about this. I don't want to risk offending the King and Queen."
Junkyu understood, and nodded. He waved the Princess goodbye before heading to the main center, and the first person he encountered, was Lomon.
"We tested the oven while you were gone, and it doesn't look like you had much luck with that stain," he said.
Junkyu nodded.
"Right," he said. "You know, why don't you guys sort everything out for the competition, while I just go buy a new one? I'll be back at the cottage in an hour."
Lomon just shrugged, and let him go. Junkyu smiled and left for the car. He drove to the address that Stacie had sent him, and after driving for twenty minutes, he finally reached the Laranian Royal Family Palace.

Stacie's personal assistant, Park Hee-von, was struck by their resemblance.
"It's freakishly uncanny!" she marveled "Except for gender, body proportion, and voice, of course."
They shot each other a quizzical look.
"Do you think we could be related somehow?" asked the Princess.
Hee-von just shook her head.
"Unfortunately, I am prohibited to look into the Royal Family's private archives, that includes family history," she explained.
They nodded. Stacie then turned to Junkyu.
"Junkyu, I have to talk to you about something," she replied. "It's a weird favor, but it doesn't involve baked goods."
Junkyu nodded. The two sat down for a talk over tea.
"As you know, I'm supposed to marry Prince Haruto in 4 days, but I don't know anything about the people here, or what a normal life here, or anywhere, is like," she explained.
"So, you want me to teach you how to be normal?" he asked.
"No; I want to be you," said the Princess.
