    Ella said that she needed to make some preparations for the return gift, so she arranged the meal at noon three days later.

    This time will not be too long to make Lucis feel impatient, and it will not be too short to make Ella too busy to arrange it. It is a time acceptable to both parties.

    The kitchen brought back the cooked chickpea soy milk, and Ella took a sip. Although the hot soy milk is not suitable for drinking in this hot weather, the fragrance of the soy milk is still well conveyed into the taste buds.

    A little honey is also added to the soy milk. Although the water temperature for soaking honey should not be too high, the current sweetener is only honey. When the taste and nutrition cannot be balanced, the only choice is to have taste without nutrition.

    Lucis was a little curious about the taste of soy milk, but the boiling hot soy milk quickly dispelled his curiosity. The young king hated the heat very much. He didn't want to experience the feeling of drinking hot drinks in this weather, but seeingFor Ella's sake, he still took a sip, and then found that the taste was really good, and it would be more perfect if it was cold.

    In the end, the soy milk was divided into two. Ella and Lucis took a small can back home. Ella also asked the maid to take a bag of saltpeter, and the slaves sent the stone mill and iron pot to the kitchen.Leave it alone.

    The steward who sent away His Majesty and the princess turned back with a smile on his face and went back to supervise the craftsmen to build a bigger stone mill. Although His Majesty didn't say anything this time, everyone in the palace knew that their king was a generous king even though he was moody.Not having any reward today means that he is likely to get a better reward.

    "By the way, the princess wants to prepare a lot of white stones. See if there are any other cobblers. No, I'd better go to the warehouse and ask, and bring them all."

    The steward is also a good person, and their king has no intention of hiding it at all. Everyone can see that he treats the silver-haired princess differently. The steward believes that at this time, he may be more appreciated by the king if he pleases the princess than the king.

    "I'm looking forward to your cooking skills."

    Lucis sent Ella back to the room and left after leaving this sentence. He originally planned to have lunch with Ella, but after making an appointment with Ella, he felt that Ella should be given more timeprepare for.

    After Lucis left, Ella's tense heart relaxed.

    This is the third time she has faced the king of Sathya. This king is young and young, but his aura is scary. Ella has never met such a powerful person before, not even her king's father.With such an imposing manner, facing Lucis can be said to be under a lot of pressure.

    Fortunately, she was tense and did not embarrass herself.

    "Your Highness, do you really want to prepare lunch for His Majesty?"

    As soon as Wang left, the two older maids were fine, but the two younger maids couldn't help themselves, chatting around Ella.

    "certainly."

    Ella nodded a little guilty. She didn't miss the joy in the king's eyes when she said that this was a gift in return. It was obvious that he had been waiting for this gift in return.

    Of course she didn't dare to say that she had forgotten about her promise to return the gift. If she hadn't seen the king, she wouldn't be able to remember it now.

    Of course, she didn't want to take the gift in return, but she was really busy studying and forgot.

    "However, I heard that His Majesty is very picky about food. What if His Majesty doesn't like the food you prepare?"

    Tetis originally wanted to stop the little maids from inquiring about the master's thoughts, but when she heard this question, she paused and swallowed her words.

    She is also worried about this problem.

    Even after a few times of contact, she could see that His Majesty was very kind to the princess, but she never forgot how moody His Majesty was. There were not a few people who were rewarded one moment and dragged out to be tortured the next.Realizing that those people may have problems themselves, but Wang's unpredictable temper is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Moreover, she didn't believe that a princess's culinary skills could be so good. Even the chef who specially served His Majesty couldn't satisfy His Majesty's taste. How could the princess cook to satisfy His Majesty.

    What if His Majesty dislikes the princess because of this?

    Ella is very optimistic: "So I have to prepare more carefully. As long as I try my best, I don't think Your Majesty will say much."

    Tetis then remembered that His Majesty was with the princess the whole time today, even if he went to a messy and hot place like the work area, he was not impatient, and his mood was even better visible to the naked eye, thinking that maybe as long as it was done by the princess,Even if it doesn't taste good, His Majesty won't be angry.

    Ella still has some confidence in her cooking skills.

    The cooking method of this era is too simple, either roasting or boiling, and even the taste is similar.Ella is already tired of eating after just a few days, let alone a person who grew up from snacks.

    As for Ella's culinary skills, she has practiced two labor classes a week since elementary school in her previous life. In addition, in this life, she has to cook by herself in the forest to feed herself and the fairies. The total cooking experience is 20It has been many years, let alone professional, at least the food she has eaten is good, and there is a food empire behind her to support her, the novelty and variety of food is enough to shock everyone.

    And Ella also happened to get the decisive weapon of saltpeter, which person who is afraid of heat doesn't like ice?

    However, preparations still need to be made.

    Ella took out the pen and paper and arranged them, while asking the maid: "Tettis, do you know what kind of food Your Majesty usually prefers?"

    This Tetis still knows a little bit, she thought for a while before answering: "I don't know what your Majesty likes, but he should prefer sweet food. Meat basically only eats barbecue, not stewed meat., I don’t like stewed vegetables, and I hate hot soup when the weather is hot, and my majesty likes wine without spices, and doesn’t like beer very much.”

    In general, it is a very picky eater.

    Ella listened so carefully that she even took a pen and paper to write down the information.

    According to Aila's observation, the palace does not restrict the entry and exit of people. For example, the servants working in the palace even have one or two days of vacation every month to leave the palace and go home to reunite with their families. Ella has promised not to run away, but she doesn't want toShe has been locked in the palace, so she wants to brush up the favorability of King Sathya first, and then propose to go out of the palace when the time is right, even if it is to bring a group of soldiers to monitor her.

    She is still curious about the world.

    "correct."

    While thinking about the menu, Ella suddenly remembered something.

    She took a blank papyrus and quickly drew several spoons of different sizes on it.

    "Who of you will help me go to the work area and ask the steward to arrange for craftsmen to make two sets of tableware. The knives, forks and chopsticks will be made according to the previous drawings, and the spoons will be made according to the size shown in this picture. Remember to tell them about it.One set is for His Majesty to use, and they will discuss what materials to use, and the things must be ready within three days."

    In addition to wooden chopsticks and iron knives and forks, Ella’s custom-made tableware is not specially customized because Sathya people also use spoons to drink soup, but she only ordered a set of tableware, and now she wants to invite King SathyaIt's obviously not enough to eat and it's not suitable, so I just ordered two sets that are more suitable.

    In fact, she thought a little carefully. Most of the things used by King Sathya are made of gold. The final products of the two sets of tableware that the craftsmen are allowed to make their own decisions are likely to be made of gold, but gold is very expensive.A rich woman doesn't want to waste money on this kind of thing, so she can save the expense by handing it over to the steward who wants to show off at first sight.

    In the past few days, the maids have seen Ella using these unfamiliar tableware, and they are no strangers to this. Ona responded and walked out with the blueprint.

    Ella continued: "Go to the kitchen and ask me what ingredients they have recently. It's best to write me a list... Forget it, I'll go and see by myself tomorrow morning."

    Ella thought that even if they wrote the list, she might not be able to match the real thing, so she might as well go and see for herself.

    Tetis asked: "Then tomorrow's class will be cancelled?"

    Ella thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No need to cancel, let's go to the kitchen early and come back to class, there shouldn't be any delay."

    Usually, Ella would take a break after breakfast and start class. Tomorrow she would get up early and save the time for breakfast. It would be no problem for her to rush back to class after going to the kitchen.

    Tetis replied: "Okay, I will wake you up early."

    Seeing that they had finished speaking, Ali said, "Then I'll go and inform the kitchen first so they can get ready."

    Tetis looked at Debbie at the side and said, "Debbie, you go with Ali and bring back your Highness's lunch by the way."

    Ella also added: "Go to the kitchen and borrow two pots, one big and one small, and a can of clean water. I'll be useful."

    Debbie responded quickly: "Okay."

    When they left, Ella turned to look at Tetis: "Do you have something to tell me?"

    Since Ella had lunch with Lucis and indirectly pleaded for the kitchen chef Najdo, her food for every meal was delivered directly from the kitchen, even if someone needed to pick up the food, an AliIt is enough, and because Debbie needs to act as a translator for Ella, she has hardly left Ella's side, and the arrangement of Tetis just now is to distract them.

    Tetis nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I want to talk to you about Debbie."

    Ella was puzzled: "Debbie? What happened to her?"

    Tetis explained: "Debbie was chosen here because you needed a translator. Now that your Sathiya is getting better and better, Debbie's role is getting smaller and smaller. You think you need to stay in the future.Get her down?"

    Ella's learning progress is obvious to all, and Debbie's role around her is indeed getting smaller and smaller, which is why Tetis brought up this question on purpose.

    In her opinion, Debbie is not a qualified court maid. She lacks basic training, and she is not qualified for the current job in terms of etiquette or skills. According to Tetis, it is best to replace her.Get a better maid to serve.

    Of course, for the sake of Debbie's good performance during this period, after she leaves, Tetis will not let her go back to work as a slave. She is going to recommend her to be an inferior maid, althoughIt would be better than life is now, but even for civilians, it would be a decent job.

    Of course, if Ella wants to keep Debbie, Tetis will allocate some energy to train Debbie so that she can accept the etiquette and skills that a court maid should master.

    Ella said without hesitation: "Of course, I think she is very good."

    In fact, among the four maids, Ella trusted Debbie the most.

    Tetis was sent by the king of Sathya, and she is loyal to the young king, and the two little maids, Ona and Ali, were personally selected by Tetis, and they will listen to Tetis more often, only Debbie, in order to get rid of the slave fate of going back to be a coolie again, she will dedicate all her loyalty to Ella who can decide her fate.

    And according to Ella's observation, Debbie is very silent when she is not translating, and will not do unnecessary things, but she will also complete the work assigned to her very well, even more diligent and careful than the two little maids.

    If only one of the four maids could be left, Ella would choose Debbie.

    Tetis didn't know what Ella was thinking, but she nodded after listening to Ella's words to express her understanding.

    "I will train her to be a qualified maid."
