Chapter 518 – [I Became the 3rd Prince of the Crazy (Scheduled)]

When a man has a firm goal, he pours his passion into it.

Rather than a simple desire to improve, the more certain the results that can be obtained with that desire to improve, the more we work hard while thinking about it.

Yes, especially if you have a goal of survival rather than just improving your cooking skills.

As I was eating my 7th birthday and birthday cake, Chef Walter asked me to rate it.

“How are you?”

“Mm, it’s delicious. It’s good. I passed the dessert part too.”

Walter quietly smiled with a face full of dark circles.

Over the past few months, Walter has developed his skills to my satisfaction. It was a natural result because he was in a situation where he had to develop as he added his talent, passion, and environment in three ways.

“There is room for further development, but…”

“How can I do it?”

“That’s a person with superpowers… That’s why you can only start by stepping into a person with superpowers. There’s a difference in physical ability between normal people and people with superpowers, so a more developed body is needed to develop.”

Can not help it. Because that’s a human limit.

If you are bound by human limits, you have no choice but to obtain power beyond that. Without awakening his imagination, it would be difficult for Walter to develop further.

To be honest, if I cook with experience points without the ‘sensation’ ability, then the quality of the dish will be slightly lower than when using the ability… Of course, even if it is the same as if it is a dish that will take a human to heaven if eaten.

“……..”

“Seeing that you eat well without saying anything, you don’t need to listen to evaluations.”

“Ah, sorry, Your Highness!”

“It’s okay because it’s proof that it’s delicious.”

Although he learned by attribute, he taught to the limits of what humans could do. This is something you have to do yourself.

If you’re lucky, your imagination will awaken. If it’s a simple ability, you have to learn it from initiation, but imagination is close to will, so if you have a strong will, you can acquire it.

“This side is ready…But what about that side?”

“First, I looked for a building to open a restaurant in. But the budget is limited, so purchasing the building itself isn’t yet…”

“Well, since the budget here is also limited. In the meantime, it would be better to teach other cooks. In principle, not only those who receive education but also those who do it gain something.”

“You speak as if you taught someone.”

“Well”

“Your Highness’ ambiguous answers always make me curious about the answer. Is there anything I can hear from you later?”

“Someday, maybe”

The budget of the Emerald Palace is small unlike other royal palaces. There is no aristocrat to protect, so I can’t get support, and I don’t have any personal connections, so I can’t get help.

In the end, it means you have to start from the ground, but even that alone is busy.

“Ah, by the way, Your Highness. There’s a coming-of-age ceremony for the First Princess at the end of this month…”

“The first princess?”

The only red point among our siblings. Even though she is a woman, she is a member of the royal family who competes with the crown prince in the battle for succession to the throne.

For reference, the current faction ratio is around 40 for the crown prince, 35 for the 1st princess, and 25 for the 2nd prince.

Almost the crown prince has the upper hand, but even the first princess is not easy. It meant that she was a bit of a girl. Hmm…… Reminds me of Baekhee. Later, when I grow up, I will move on and see your face.

“Yes, would you like to send a separate gift?”

“We don’t have anything, but we have something to send you… Ah”

The invitation never came.

The coming-of-age ceremony in this world is held on the 20th birthday. It seems to be quite late for a fantasy civilization, but it is a disprove that the average life span is high.

If you see that the toilet is not a conventional toilet, but a toilet, it means that there is a sense of hygiene, and if only hygiene is taken care of, human life span is greatly increased.

Why does Mrs. Nightingale take good care of hygiene, so the survival rate of patients goes up inexhaustibly? It’s consistent with that.

What? Miss Berserker?

You! I can’t use it if I think about luck!!!!

“It’s a gift. If done well, it will be good publicity.”

We don’t have At most, it was only the name of the royal family, and even that name had no meaning to the same royal family, and even to the potential emperor candidates.

No, you don’t have to make a gift in the first place. The invitation didn’t come, and that meant that neither the other side nor the other side cared about it. There will be no penalty if you don’t send a specific gift.

However, this job can be used for publicity and networking.

“Tell Walter. Prepare for sortie.”

I have to tell her to captivate the taste of the older sister of the 1st princess!

*        *    *

If the palace where the 3rd prince Worst stayed was the Emerald Palace, then the palace where her 1st princess Alconost stayed was the Ruby Palace.

It is crowded every day due to the busy attendants for her coming-of-age ceremony, which will be greeted soon, but the main character, the person concerned, was quietly working in her office.

“It’s called a coming-of-age ceremony, but it’s tiring. In the end, it’ll be nothing more than a gutter where networking or strife takes place.”

“If you’re not comfortable, shall we keep the schedule to a minimum until the coming-of-age ceremony?”

“It’s okay. If you show weakness in this area, it will only give you an excuse to bite.”

The royal family’s secret struggle is an environment of weak meat, where if you show a gap, you will be eaten as it is. The word noble and dignified seems to have been thrown into the gutter, but rather it is a place where people without conscience or less than human beings live.

If a person without power commits a crime openly, it can be punished.

Thinking about that, I couldn’t live here without some kind of determination.

“Oh, and… His Highness, the 3rd Prince, sent me a letter this time.”

“Third Prince?”

Despite the fact that her belly is different and she is her own brother, she has doubts. It’s proof that she wasn’t even thinking about it in the first place.

No, that’s normal. A lion or a tiger who is not hungry has nothing to worry about with a small hamster. The 3rd Prince, who had neither a worthy patron nor her maternal relatives, had no power over a modest nobleman, with only her name as a prince.

“Have you checked?”

“Yes, it was a pure letter without any tricks.”

“Come here”

Princess Alconost received and read a letter from Worst from her attendant.

[To Her Highness, the 1st Princess]

[Please pardon the rudeness of first greetings in writing rather than face-to-face]

[When she got to know the world, she heard that Her Highness, the 1st princess, was holding her coming-of-age ceremony. Even though she doesn’t have much of her own, as her sister, she can’t just look at it and pass it by, so she sends her gifts, albeit insignificant]

[Since the chef of the Emerald Palace is good at it, I would appreciate it if you could let Her Highness take charge of meals until the coming-of-age ceremony.]

[Worst pawn frontier posted]

It was a short but full letter. The handwriting was correct, but there were some flaws, probably because the writing itself was not used to it.

If the opponent had been static, he would have used this handwriting as a weakness… But the opponent was the Third Prince, whom he didn’t care about.

“Is the purpose of poisoning?”

“If that’s the case, it wouldn’t have been sent in such an explicit letter. This is purely a letter to send a skillful cook. Of course, it’s not without other ulterior motives…”

Extremely direct.

It is a personality that is difficult to experience in the imperial palace. In the first place, when a person with such a personality enters the imperial palace, it is one of the two.

Either die, or treat someone who doesn’t exist.

“Did you say you’re seven years old this year?”

“Yes that’s right”

“At that age, it’s time you don’t know the world yet. I understand why you sent me a letter like this, but…”

“What should I do? The cook sent over there is in the drawing room.”

“Hmm”

Princess Alconost thought for a bit. To be honest, it is right to throw out people who are not sure, especially those who are easy to poison in cooking, such as cooks.

However, when she thought deeply, Worst had no merit.

Assassination of a potential emperor candidate brings about the aftermath. No matter how much she is called Worst, she is an imperial family, but even her letter is evidence. If she dies, Worst will be punished accordingly.

It is unreasonable to think that someone is behind it. The imperial family was also punished, but there was no guarantee that those behind them would be safe. Rather, those who were taken advantage of would receive greater punishment than those of the imperial family who were taken advantage of. The Imperial Intelligence Service did not receive a salary for nothing.

“Come in at once.”

“All right”

Walter, who had been waiting for her call in the parlor, bowed her head politely as he entered her office.

“I am Walter Arman, who came by order of Prince Worst. It is an honor to meet Her Highness the Princess.”

“Yes, I read the letter. You sent it instead of a present?”

“Yes that’s right”

Even though it’s a fixed-term, I’m confident that I sent it. If you don’t have skills, that’s deception and insult.

She also has eyes for people. She was able to get a rough idea, though it would be less accurate than someone who had seen this ability of her own and she had seen countless humans.

“If the 3rd prince sent it, he must have some skills. How will he prove it?”

“If a knight proves himself with his sword and loyalty, the only way to prove himself to a cook is through cooking.”

“Okay. Just make something simple. Let’s see with your skills.”

“Okay. By the way, do you have any food materials that you want to cover?”

“No. Let me make one for you.”

“Yes, I understand”

Walter was guided to the Ruby Palace’s kitchen. She asked an attendant sneaking out of her office, where only she and her attendant were left.

“Are you all right?”

“It’s not that they won’t monitor it, and it’s still limited to just this one time, and there’s a hint of it? There’s no element of uncertainty. And above all, a guy like that doesn’t do tricks. Just believe in his skills and move on.”

After some time, Walter brought a simple dish.

The menu was a simple soup without soup or a piece of bread, but it wasn’t fancy, so she liked it.

The colorful and tasty dishes that are often encountered in the palace or at parties make the tongue tired. If you think about it, you can say that the dining table is also a job.

So, as a reaction, I usually had a simple or light meal. When asked to show her skills, she gave points to Walter for bringing out the light ones.

“It’s pretty simple, isn’t it?”

“It seems like it’s still pre-dinner, so I prepared it simply. It should be enough to whet your appetite when you eat.”

The soup Walter prepared was based on French bouillabaisse.

Of course it’s not exactly the same. Bouillabaisse has a high proportion of ingredients, so it’s close to stew, but this one has fewer ingredients, so it’s more like soup.

The broth made by boiling seafood such as shellfish and fish, the sweetness of tomatoes, and the spicy taste of red pepper and garlic are added to serve as an appetizer with just the aroma. Was perfectly caught and made to be eaten even by those who do not like seafood.

“The smell… First of all, you passed.”

Although it is missing ingredients, it is a soup made with various types of shellfish and fish. The fishy smell was removed with pepper and garlic, and the fragrance was added with herbs, so the fragrance could not be bad.

Princess Alconost quietly tasted the dish with a spoon. The red but clear broth rides her lips and touches her tongue.

“…….Ah!”

Various types of seafood were exquisitely mixed to create a delicious taste. The spicy taste stimulates the tongue with just the right feeling that does not hurt, and you can feel the umami of the seafood broth behind it.

What about the dry ingredients? The variety of seafood brought to taste at least once shows off each taste without being overcooked, giving a new taste every time you eat it.

I couldn’t stand it more than once I tasted it. It was originally served as an appetizer, so it wasn’t too much, but she emptied the bowl neatly in no time.

“Whoa…”

After finishing her meal, she put her spoon down with a satisfied expression on her face.

Rather, it is a pity that the quantity is small. It made me want to eat a bowl full of it.

But on the other hand, I was quite excited to think that there would be more delicious dishes than this. Enough to push the threat of poisoning to the other side.

Walter quietly waited for her evaluation. But even if she didn’t ask, the answer was a set law.

“……What did you say your name was?”

“My name is Walter Arman, Your Highness.”

“Please take good care of me for the time being”

The worst, who was roughly eavesdropping on the situation with his ability, was killed in the Emerald Palace! She cheered and was scolded by the nanny.
