Chapter 40

"Is there anything you would like to serve to His Majesty Felix?"

Iber, who had put the French toast and pudding for Prince Schuel and Prince Egiedilus into his magic bag, asked.

I was impressed by the magic bag used for serving, which opened wide like a pizza delivery bag, but I was also a bit puzzled.

"Hmm, please wait a moment."

These two are too sweet and won’t do. I heard he likes meat, but Rick, the head chef, had already prepared some.

In that case, something more like a side dish would be better.

"Hey, Ed. Is His Majesty Felix okay with cheese and eggs?"

There are plenty of eggs. I thought it would be better to use them and they can be prepared quickly. However... the moment Rina mentioned Prince Egiedilus, she felt Iber’s icy gaze.

"...Of course."

She calls the prince by a nickname and uses informal language. That’s not good, right?

But, I’m sorry... I can’t remember the names now.

And I don’t use polite language.

If you want to throw me in jail, here I am!

"Fel brother, he’s probably fine with anything that’s not sweet. He even eats cheese as a snack."

Iber’s gaze didn’t faze him. Prince Egiedilus answered.

"...A snack for alcohol..."

Rina muttered. She wasn’t sure if he ate the cheese as is or cooked it as a snack, but knowing that king, he must drink a lot.

"...Are you making pudding again?"

She thought this because she saw Rina breaking eggs into a bowl and adding a little milk.

"King Felix doesn’t like sweet things, so I’m not making pudding."

She added a little milk and a bit of pepper to the eggs. Pepper should be fine for something served to the king. She used less salt because of the cheese. She prepared a mild, natural cheese from the refrigerator.

She heated the frying pan until it was just steaming, added butter, and once it melted, quickly poured in the egg mixture. This was a race against time. If she was too quick, the eggs would be undercooked; if she cooked them too long, they would become tough. She had to act quickly and efficiently.

She used a small spatula to incorporate air into the egg mixture while cooking it over high heat. Before folding, she placed the cheese on top, gently tapped the handle, and shook the pan to wrap the cheese in the fluffy eggs.

"......"

The chefs, seeing this for the first time, watched the process with such intensity that they forgot to breathe. They might have thought it was going to be scrambled eggs at first, but it was completely different. The eggs quickly became fluffy and gently enveloped the cheese.

"Alright, it’s done."

Rina placed it gently on a flat plate.

The cheese omelet was complete.

If she could be picky, she would want some tomato sauce... but there wasn’t any.

There’s nothing to be done about what’s not available.

"What about you, Ed?"

While handing the cheese omelet to Iber, she asked Prince Egiedilus. She thought he might want to eat it after seeing it made right in front of him.

"...Huh?"

"Would you like me to make one for you?"

He seemed taken aback for a moment, not expecting to be asked.

"Really?"

"Ahaha... really. Do you want cheese in it?"

"Sure, I want cheese!!"

Prince Egiedilus said with a childlike smile, looking happy. Rina’s lips curved into a smile, finding him cute.

Watching him wait happily while she made it, she felt a moment of nostalgia.

That kid used to watch me make things next to him...

"Here! It’s done~!"

The cheese omelet for Prince Egiedilus was complete.
