Chapter 519 – [I Became the Third Prince]
Princess Alconost is also a member of the royal family. She, or rather, she has the most powerful succession to the throne after the crown prince, and her powers are also number one, so she has many things.
Thanks to her, even without learning, her appetite became a gourmet, and she could not satisfy her appetite with just a few dishes.
However, in the end, it is only a gastronomic view limited to this country in this world.
His worst cooking skills, which he has built over thousands of years by touring countless worlds and countries, are so excellent that only the strongest Great Demon King, Phantom, can compare. I wonder if there is an item like cooking among the concepts that can get the worst load.
Even in dimensional civilizations, if the worst offers to cook for you, there are gourmets who will come back with billions of dollars. Walter’s ability to generously learn such the worst secrets was already one of the best in this world.
“Basically, the salt I use is roasted once. Then the impurities are removed from the salt, and the bitter taste is much less.”
“Um…”
“Of course, you can hide the bitter taste by adding various additives other than salt, but in that case, it is better to remove the bitter taste from the salt itself.”
Basically, the salt distributed in Arcadia is sun salt and rock salt.
Self-salt, which is obtained by boiling, is not in sufficient quantity to be supplied, and after making salt farms to produce sun-dried salt, the place that adheres to that method has disappeared.
Even if clean rock salt is used, the possibility of sand or soil entering is higher than bay salt, so the royal family mainly uses bay salt.
“It’s simple, but it’s a method I’ve never thought of…… By the way, can I briefly share this know-how?”
“It doesn’t matter. My knowledge will not be reduced by telling you.”
“Kuhm……”
In fact, the reason why Walter generously shared this know-how was because he had the worst request.
If he came from another palace, even the kitchen of the third prince without power, he would definitely have a territorial attitude. And Walter’s personality was one that was easily ridiculed by others.
Interference from there will interfere with work, so it is better to prevent it in advance. So I deliberately told the worst Walter not to be stingy in telling him the know-how.
The level of technology is jagged, with some being quite outstanding in certain fields, but on average it is at the level of modern to modern, and the spiritual growth of society still remains in the Middle Ages.
In such a world, most of the professional knowledge is learned by stealing, and it is rare to inform it in detail and carefully. Rather, if you enter educational facilities such as academies, they are more closed than the fields that teach.
“Human beings are sensitive to gain. No matter how territorial they want to be, if there is an advantage in front of their eyes, they won’t openly do it. At least some of them will be on Walter’s side.”
“But wouldn’t the bottom line be revealed if I let you know that kind of know-how?”
“I wouldn’t even send it if it was at a level where the bottom line would be revealed just by letting me know for a few days.”
“…Is it true that Her Highness is celebrating her 7th birthday this time?”
“Well, how do you look?”
The worst knew about humans. The good points as well as the bad points.
Anyway, thanks to Walter’s stay at the Ruby Palace, he rather built up his popularity.
He stayed until Princess Alconost’s coming-of-age ceremony, but as time passed, it was the princess who became more impatient.
“What’s for lunch today?”
“Yes, it’s a modified version of what the Han Kingdom calls dumplings. We call it Soryongpo.”
“Hmm, I’ve never heard of it. What kind of dish is it?”
“If the soup hardens and becomes jelly-like wrapped in a dumpling skin and steamed, the soup that hardened due to heat becomes soup again. Although it is a dumpling, the contents become soup, so you can taste the soup with the dumpling skin.”
“I’m looking forward to it”
In order to make soryongpo well, the soup must be delicious, but first you need to know how to properly comb the dumpling skin.
If it is too thin, the blood is torn, and if it is too thick, the thick blood absorbs the juices and loses its taste.
No matter how much he has learned the secret, the fact that he can comb the exquisite thickness of the dumpling skin shows Walter’s skill and effort.
“Tomorrow you will return to the Emerald Palace, right?”
“Yes, Your Highness”
Walter is always dispatched. She was dispatched from the Emerald Palace to the Ruby Palace to treat her to a dinner as a gift for her coming-of-age ceremony.
That period until her coming-of-age ceremony. In time, he eventually returns to the Emerald Palace.
“I’ll end up stealing someone else’s, but… Why don’t you come under me? I can promise you better treatment than being in the Emerald Palace.”
“I’m very sorry, Your Highness. I will decline that offer.”
“That’s a solid refusal. I expected it.”
If the other person’s position is high, it is rude to refuse the offer. Because it is an act of ignoring the opponent.
Especially if it’s a resolute refusal. If the opponent was not the Alconost princess but another noble, there would have been a corresponding punishment.
“I guess refusal means that there is a benefit to be gained by being there… To be honest, I have no idea what that is.”
The idea of bribing a cook with culinary secrets is not usually reached. No matter how similar it is to exile, even if you are assigned to the third prince’s palace, you are the chef of the imperial family. It’s proof that you have that kind of skill, and even if you count the entire continent, you should count from the top, but to buy such a person with a cooking secret, you need someone with more skill.
The result that such a person is not in the camp of the third prince, let alone the third prince, cannot be drawn in general.
“Well, it’s good. It’s better not to forcefully hold on to the person who refuses the offer. If you try to suppress it by force and bring it back, it will only cause resentment.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness”
However, Walter’s skill was a waste of time, so he left it alone. If he hadn’t been a cook, and hadn’t been in the camp of the 3rd prince, who had no powers, he……. He might have used an extreme method.
Like assassination, for example. It was a routine method in the imperial palace.
“But you got a nice present. If you’ve been given a lot of presents to commemorate your coming-of-age ceremony, this is the one you like the most. And if you’ve received that much of a present, you have to reciprocate it.”
After all, her nobles’ gifts to her are only meant to win her favor.
It’s okay to accept her and ignore her, but who will support her if she has no gain or reciprocation? That’s why if you receive something, you have to give it back so that the relationship becomes stronger.
“If there is a prize you want, you can tell me. If you rejected my offer, you wouldn’t be satisfied with a decent prize…”
“…….”
Now that he’s liked enough, it’s time for Walter to carry out the secret orders he received from the worst. It was for this that he had been in charge of her meals until now.
“I currently have a plan to open a restaurant in the capital with the support of the Third Prince.”
“Ohh”
“But it’s going to take some time because there’s a problem with the budget…”
“Now I know. That guy sent me an honest letter, so I thought he was an ignorant guy. Did he hide his true feelings?”
The Alconost Princess smiled and said, “It’s hot.”
Compared to the strife that takes place in the imperial family, the worst way is cute enough to be crude. And be honest.
It is true that Walter’s skills are excellent, and through that, he created a foothold to win her favor and attract her as an investor. Already accustomed to the finest cuisine, she could no longer be satisfied with the dishes prepared in the kitchen of the Ruby Palace.
If such a Walter wants to open her own restaurant… She won’t be able to stop investing.
Honest and no pretense. He hid his true feelings, but at least it didn’t do any harm.
“Good, good. Let’s invest the necessary funds.”
She willingly promised to invest.
“And I want to see that child too.”
Princess Alconost smiled at the thought of meeting her cruel youngest brother.
* * *
On the coming-of-age day, a letter came from Ruby Palace.
It was written that he would invest in the restaurant business and that he would see him soon.
Operation is a success
“Ah yeah ah ah ah ah ah!!!! The feeling of succeeding when the planned thing proceeds smoothly is killing me!”
“Your Highness! You should use nice words!”
“Look at me at a time like this!”
“Sometimes, when I see you, you show me a look that suits your age…”
Walter, sent to her 1st Princess sister, made the job.
She was a little worried. If her personality had been a little closer to a tyrant, she would have listened to solve it by force.
Of course, since I was wiretapping at a distance, I would have told him to get out of the way if he thought he was going to get fucked. I’m glad my sister-in-law resembles Baek-hee.
“But, well… Looking at this, I wonder if it’s a lumber worthy of becoming an emperor.”
“Majesty?”
“Oh, nothing”
Her remark that she resembles Baek-hee means that like her, she is worthy to ascend to her throne and become an emperor to rule her people.
Of course, it can’t be perfectly the same, but at least it won’t cause a big problem.
I can’t be sure because I haven’t met the crown prince yet, but if it were her, I don’t think she would purify me even if she ascended the throne. Of course, the most important thing is whether or not she is the one who sent the assassin to me.
“Leticia, as soon as you get the budget, buy the building you’ve been waiting for and start construction. You’ll definitely catch the taste of the first princess sister and become a regular customer, so call in experts and redecorate the interior so you don’t rush.”
“Yes, I understand”
“Nanny, it looks like the 1st princess sister will be visiting in the near future, so have the attendants dress up and clean up once in a while. There’s nothing expensive or flashy, but you shouldn’t look poor or tacky.”
“Yes, Your Highness”
“Oh, and tell Hans, the sergeant, to hold the soldiers’ colors.”
It seems like cleaning the unit just because the division commander is coming, but it’s better than losing money by welcoming guests roughly.
Umm, with this analogy, I feel like a battalion commander of a visiting unit. I think I can understand why the battalion commander made people suffer so much.
Soon after the coming-of-age ceremony at the Ruby Palace, Walter returned to the Emerald Palace late at night.
“I’m back, Your Highness”
“Perfect Walter!!!”
I gave Walter a light pat on the back. Ah, since he said lines that a vampire would do, I suddenly thought of my brother-in-law in Phantom.
To be honest, this body was still short, so I stretched out my hand on tiptoe and barely reached the lower middle of my back, but whatever.
I first asked, cutting off the words without end.
“Yeah, how was it?”
“Yes? I’m not sure what you’re talking about…”
“The fact that the 1st princess sister acted like that means that your skills were also accepted by other members of the imperial family. And that’s also to one of the potential candidates for succession to the throne, who must have eaten all the delicious things.”
“Ah…..!!!”
“You’ve been recognized. By one of the most powerful people in this country.”
In fact, there are quite a lot of them if I were to rank them higher than the 1st princess sister. In fact, if she doesn’t become emperor, a noble with a title like her duke will be higher than her, and above all, her crown prince remains.
But, in the end, the question is: It goes without saying that rich people pursue gastronomy, and if you set up a good restaurant with a good cook in a good building in a good place and serve good dishes, there is no way that good customers will come.
1 If the princess is a regular shop, other aristocrats will surely come. No, even if it doesn’t taste good, nobles who want to have a relationship will gather, so they will definitely come.
“Once it’s less than an hour, next time…”
1 The princess visits.
Perhaps this will be my first official and first external event. Even the nobles who had no interest in me would pay attention to me at least a little because of this incident.
…….I hope there will be some reaction from the guys who tried to assassinate me. If I knew, I would kill even mice and birds without knowing.
“Did you do as I said when cooking?”
“Yes, of course Your Highness”
“Great”
There is such a saying in Moorim. Hide 30 percent of her own skills.
Certainly Walter went to her Ruby’s Palace and served her her dishes… But only to what could be called her meals.
Yeah, Walter didn’t make her her dessert. And dessert is a more effective field for women than for men.
“In my experience, there’s no woman who doesn’t like sweets, even if there’s a difference in degree.”
“Experience. Doesn’t that mean you’ve experienced it somewhere, Your Highness?”
“Oh, nothing”
I’m so fucking worried about what to treat!
Anyway, calorie bomb full course!
