Xavier made a quiet gesture, and the two of them spent their breakfast in such silence.
Although Norbert was a little reserved, being able to have breakfast with His Highness, the lord, was equivalent to putting himself in a position similar to a confidant.
"Your Highness." The young head maid Iyalan came up, preparing to collect the silver knives, forks and plates used by Xavier and Norbert.
Iyalan looked at the third untouched breakfast with some confusion: "Your Highness, the hot milk is a little cold. Do you want me to heat another one for you?"
"No, leave it to our lovely girl. Don't let the maid enter the restaurant, okay?" Xavier looked at the puzzled Iyalan with a smile.
"Leave it to Miss Yeluo?" Iyalan murmured in a low voice, but that girl with pure white hair really made all the rose maids feel ashamed. No wonder Xavier was particularly fond of her.
"I understand, Lord."
…
"call……!"
With a long cry of exhaustion, the girl with long chestnut hair finally fell to the ground exhausted.
Nile Cliff, Emoyne Castle.
The dim sunlight shines through the layers of gray clouds, and the Nile Mountain Cliff is at the highest point of Noli. In front of the cliff is the magnificent East Winter Sea - the Aimoyin Sea.
"Is it already lunch time?" Xavier shook his head, looked at the puddle of ice-water mixture on the grass, and then glanced at his gear mechanical watch.
This is in the back garden of Almoyne Castle. The low wall can clearly see the northern waves and the sea. This back garden, which has been abandoned for many years, has been given a new look under Laura's treatment.
"Lord, Lady Michelle, thank you for your hard work!" Laura, the maid of El Moin Castle, stood aside and immediately brought warm water to the two of them.
Is that the witch? So powerful, she can actually control ice and water! Laura looked at the tired Michelle with fascination. She looked at Michelle's white porcelain hands with a look of disbelief on her face.
There must be some fear, after all, witches are also a bedtime story that many adults use to scare their children. Laura grew up listening to such stories.
In her imagination, witches were ugly, dirty women huddled in dark corners, wearing the same weird pointed hat, as if they should have looked like this since they were born.
But when she knew that Michelle was a witch, Laura suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. During the past few days of serving Michelle, she saw how shy and arrogant this girl was, and how tall she was but actually very soft.
If such lovely Miss Michelle can be considered a witch, then witch would be synonymous with "beautiful girl".
"Sister Michelle!"
This was requested by Michelle. Michelle said that the word "Miss" made her dislike it very much. In other words, starting from the education she was born with, she should have entered the knight army.
Laura waved to Michelle. She was actually a few years older than Michelle, but her thin body and being more than half a head shorter than Michelle meant that she could only be called Sister Michelle.
"Can you teach me how to control ice?" Laura looked at Michelle excitedly.
"..." Michelle blinked her gray-blue eyes, and then looked at each other strangely with Xavier.
"Hug... I'm sorry... Laura just..." Laura suddenly reacted, and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
The twentieth time, it failed.
For some reason, Xavier squatted down and put his hand into the ice water, and the coldness spread. But it was not as strong as the ice pick that Michelle had controlled at will before.
If Michelle stood like a frost goddess in the Nori church that night, now she is like a child who encountered ice and snow for the first time, unable to solidify even a bucket of water.
"Are you disappointed?" Michelle walked to Xavier's side and looked at the young man who lowered his head and looked a little pale.
"Bade Dante's desserts have the taste of the West, refreshing but not too sweet. With the recipe from my hometown, Miss Michelle can give it a try."
Xavier clapped his hands, and Laura on the side quickly pushed up a silver dining table and placed two medium-sized cakes on the stone table and stools in the back garden.
Is this? Michelle watched with some surprise as Laura opened the silver cover. Black cream-like stuff covered the top of the cake, and some unrecognizable bits were sprinkled on the black cream. Finally, on the cake
At the top is an attractive red cherry.
"When making the fresh cream for the cake, I asked Laura to add a lot of cherry juice. When making the cake base, I also added cherry juice and cherry wine to the batter."
"There are some little surprises in the middle..."
Xavier handed over the small silver spoon with a smile. Michelle in front of her secretly swallowed a sip of saliva and took a small scoop with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.
The cream that melts in your mouth, the black chocolate chips are like a black coat, the white cream is like a white shirt, and the cherries on the cream are reminiscent of the big pom-pom hats unique to the Baden area.
Even in Bad Dante County, this is a top-notch dessert that only nobles can enjoy. The top-grade cherry wine from Baden, the cherry capital, is so expensive that some small nobles dare not even look at it.
So sweet... Michelle licked the chocolate chips that accidentally fell on her lips without leaving any trace, like a kitten stealing food.
Michelle felt like her heart was about to melt. The sweet, sour and mellow taste was completely incomparable with the brown bread or oatmeal bread she had eaten before.
She glanced at Xavier secretly, her eyes filled with inexplicable expressions.
"Eh?" Michelle looked at the small cherry in the middle of the cake and took a small bite to taste the sweet and sour taste, sucking it greedily as if it was rain after a long drought.
Is this the surprise that Xavier... His Highness was talking about?
"Black Forest Cake, that's what it's called in my hometown. If you think it's good, you can tell Laura and we can usually deliver it to you."
Xavier pointed to the piece of cake that Michelle had eaten completely, with a hint of smile hidden in his surprised eyes.
Is it true that all girls can’t resist the temptation of desserts?
"No... don't, I said I would leave. You have already... used up your first request, and there are four left!" Michelle's ivory-white face blushed slightly, and she bit her lip.
, said softly.
Xavier's first request, "Let me test your abilities."
Michelle, Michelle, what's wrong with you? Just a piece of dessert has turned you into this? Michelle said secretly in her heart.
She breathed out gently, bringing with it the mellow aroma of cherries, and a cold expression returned to her face.
"Your Highness..."
Just as Michelle was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves came from the gate of Elmoyne Castle. The only guard stationed there was completely unable to stop the horses from rushing in.
"Lord, here we come, this is my friend, Felix Henderson, the Royal Architect from Grant!"
Antonio's voice came from the city gate. His voice was a little high-pitched and easy to distinguish.
"Antonio, I have been exiled. Please don't mention my last name again. That kind of family will only bring shame to me."
A deep voice came, full of the maturity of an adult man.
