Chapter 31

🦋 HAPPY READING 🦋

Marchel immediately broke down the door of King Philip's room. His eyes immediately fell on Prince Morgan who was arguing with his father.

Without saying much, Marchel immediately threw his fist at Prince Morgan's face until the figure staggered back.

"What the fuck! You, how dare you hit me!" Prince Morgan did not want to lose, he immediately replied to Marchel's tons until in the end they fought each other's fist.

King Philip was really very surprised by the presence of these two men. He had already guessed if Duke Herli would definitely come to ask for an explanation.But he did not expect if it would come so soon.

"You two, STOP!"

The snapping sound coming from King Philip made the two of them speechless. Each of their fists that were still in the air just fell down.

"Sit down!"

Duke Herli took his place on one of the sofas followed by Marchel and prince Morgan who sat on the other side. They exchanged sharp gazes to kill each other.

"You two are really boyish. Don't know manners! Aren't you guys looking at me?! Do you consider me a statue?!" Snapped King Philip who made the two young men look down in fear.

"You Morgan, go, if anything happens to my son-in-law, then I'll cut off your own head!"

The so-called Prince Morgan could only nod his head in resignation and leave from that place towards the stables.

"Huh! That kid really made my life short." King Philip sighed with a glass of water.

"I'm sorry for being disrespectful, can we talk now?" Said Duke Herli who saw the King was closing his eyes. Trying to neutralize the blood that had flowed into his brain.

The king opened his eyes, "Well, let's talk."

The day is getting noon, the sun is already stinging the skin. The snow that originally covered come SEATHLAND has begun to melt, even though it only reduced by 1 mm.

Castela decided to rest in a forest. He had already told Marquis Steven to check this area whether it was safe or not. His waist really felt almost broken.

Just imagine, he had spent a full 7 hours sitting in a horse carriage. Seeing the condition of the soldiers he was carrying was exhausted, even if they did not actually show it, but Castela knew that they must have felt tired.

That's why he decided to rest. Put up a tent and cook food for all of them. After all, their horses needed to eat and drink.

"How, is it safe to rest here?" Castela asked as Marquis Steven approached her.

"I've checked, this place is far from wild animals. Not too far from the next town. We'll be safe if we don't spend the night here." Marquis Steven told me about his observations.

"Good, we'll rest here for 3 hours. After that we go straight to the city. The distance of the city Maka and this place is only about 3 hours, so we can get there before sunset."

Marquis Steven agreed with Castela's proposal. They immediately split the tasks. There are in charge of installing tents, bringing horses to eat, collecting firewood and also cooking.

Of course this cooking task was taken over by Castela. Because he would not let the soldiers he brought not eat properly. Although among those soldiers, there were two warrior chefs that he brought.

But still, despite using chefs, they were trained soldiers who usually left for the battlefield. Even during the war, the food they ate was only potluck.

Castela told the soldiers to bring down the meat, vegetables and also spices that Castela had made before.

The soldier who was ordered to search for firewood has returned. Castela ordered them to make a cooking stove.

The two 25-year-old soldiers ran over as they saw Castela touching a knife and wanting to cook.

They came with anxious faces.

"Sorry Queen, let us do it. You mustn't touch a job like this, if your Majesty knows, we could get angry."

Castela looked at the two soldiers who really looked very anxious.

"Who are your names?" Ask Castela

"I'm Robi empress, and this is Dikta. Both of us are warrior cooks in charge with the soldiers' meals and your meals during this trip." Said the dark-skinned man to Castela.

"Well, Robi, Dikta, as long as you know, cooking for a hundred and five people is not a hard thing for me. This time I'll cook, you can help me. If you are afraid of being blamed for my actions, then I myself will exchange the lives of both of you for my feet." Castela stared intently at the two warrior chefs who already looked nervous half to death.

"Why do you have so many mouths? Do you doubt miss, I mean the empress? Let alone a hundred people, even the empress had once cooked food for one city. I thought you guys had heard that news." Said Ema with her arrogant tone.

Finally he can boast of his great nona in front of many people.

Robi and Dikta looked at each other and then nodded in surrender. They had heard the news. A Goddess who came brought about the resurrection of a city that was already on the verge of death.

And they also just found out if the Goddess who is proud of the people is their empress, the person who last night came to the warrior camp to choose his own soldiers he will bring.

That's why they're so nervous. How not? They had to escort the woman who was the royal consort, the favorite daughter-in-law of King Philip, as well as the woman who was called the Goddess by the people. If they make a little mistake, then their heads will bet.

"Good noble, if that is indeed your command. We'll help you." Said Dikta who started to feel a little relaxed.

They also began to cut the ingredients that would be used for cooking. Today Castela wants to cook vegetable soup, chicken pepper-rica and also sauteed mushrooms.

Dikta and Robi also asked a lot in this cooking show. Because honestly they feel foreign to the last two names of Castela cuisine.

Eventually they became familiar. The awkwardness that had occurred between them instantly disappeared. The two warrior chefs were as if finding their seniors.

Castela's cooking prowess really amazed them. Even after the cooking was finished, they did not stop being amazed by Castela.

They think if the Soup in question is Soup in general. Which consists of meat that is cut into small pieces and then mixed with vegetables. And cooked by medium fire until cooked.

But this time it looks different. Castela first sauteed the seasoning he had concocted. After that he added a lot of water and boiled the bones of cows that are usually disposed of with a small fire. After the cold came out, Castela just put the meat that has been cut into small pieces.

Until everything matures, then he included vegetables to keep his freshness awake. Dikta and Robi tasted the cooked soup. The eyes of both of them were completely sparkling as they felt a distinctive taste from within this soup that truly spoiled the tongue.

"Geez empress, why does it taste so good like this? The rumors about you are true, these dishes really make my tongue stop to eat." Said Robi who got tampolan from Dikta.

"Really? I feel good hearing that. It's good if you like, I'll share the recipe with you. Later when our task is done, you can cook it for your other friends." Castela smiled sincerely.

"God, you're really very pretty when you laugh. Ah, I mean thank you for the queen's recipe." Dikta said wrong behavior.

Castela nodded, she was happy because her input was liked by many people.

"Okay, let's serve this food. Your friends must have been waiting." Castela.

The four of them served food at a table. Soldiers one by one came carrying plates and also bowls. Castela poured soup, Ema poured rice, Dikta poured mushroom stir fry, and Robi poured chicken rica-rica.

After they finished, the four of them joined in to eat with the others.

"I don't know if you're good at cooking." Marquis Steven said as he chewed on the food in his mouth.

"Because I didn't tell you." Castela cuek.

"That feels really good. No wonder they look so happy." Marquis Steven said as he looked at the soldiers who were seen eating their food very happily.

"I also feel happy, because they like my cooking." Castela said as she placed her empty plate.

Today it is not very lustful, so just take a little to fill his stomach.

"Only a fool doesn't like it. Never mind the cooking, people who cook it also like a lot." Marquis Steven said, but lowered his voice when he said his last sentence.

Castela just laughed, she felt like her body needed a break. Castela got up from her seat, but suddenly the soldiers shouted and began to sound a commotion.

"THERE'S ATTACK! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!"

Fortunately, all the soldiers had finished eating. They quickly fought against a group of people in black. Guns can no longer be avoided.

They were strong men, in an instant those who only numbered ten could fight against the draw of the trained warriors who were assigned to protect Castela.

Marquis Steven drew his sword and came down to help when he realized something was wrong. Clearly, they were no ordinary band of robbers. Their movements clearly show that they are trained people.

Many soldiers are already getting hurt. Those guys are really great. Added physical soldiers who have not fully recovered and just rested.

"You wait here, don't go anywhere! THE SOLDIER! PROTECT EMPRESS!"
