Chapter 217 Lost and Found (1)
"Um, sorry. Looks like that's the limit. Are you satisfied?"
"No need to apologize at all. It makes me happy to see you having so much fun swinging a sword."
“You are so gentle.”
He lifted up Nicole's lifted body and let her sit on the chair in the pavilion. The maids around the princess came around, wiped her sweat, and blew air on her to show their concern for her. Nicole exhaled, seeming to enjoy the refreshing feeling of fatigue.
Princess Nicole's first contact with a man named Ye Kai was through Prince Klein's consultation.
Although she, known as the Sword Princess, was not interested in swordsmanship, Klein still asked for instruction. He said that in order to get the princess, she had to become stronger. Although Nicole was a little puzzled by this, she did not deny her interest. So she ordered the prince to bring the magic boxer.
Nikki was surprised that the magic boxer turned out to be a black-haired boy. Nikki was confused by this, but she had to admit his ability.
Despite his refusal to serve her, he continued to visit her garden regularly, and Nickel began to look forward to his visits.
Afterwards, Magic Boxer also met with the King and bumped into Nikki in public, but this did not change their relationship.
------------
Sitting on her lap with Reed in her arms, Nickel gave her some fruit while recounting the past. Nickel could only smile bitterly.
"That's only natural. How could such a martial god be born from a family that wins by clever words and double-dealing? Eleanor can't even think of competing with her after she cried like that."
“Please stop.”
The wife grabbed her husband's right arm and said something very sharp. But in such a condescending attitude, it seemed appropriate to the lips of the top lady of the country who showed her true nature.
“He’s just such a troublesome guy.”
"Your Highness, would you like to give a gift to the Magic Boxer?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Bring it here."
Along with the tea, a cylindrical blue object about 8.4 cm high and 30 cm in diameter appeared on the table on a silver plate.
"It's so big," Tullio said, with a bitter look on his face. He probably thought it was a ball of Monolicot.
"Wrong guess. This is a cake made to please Nicole."
“Oh, it’s for me! Don’t you two know either?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
Fino's attention has been attracted.
“Shall I cut it?”
One of the maids inserted the cake, and immediately a scent was released. This rich aroma of wine intertwined with sweetness stimulated the nose. This aroma changed the look of Nicole. Almost in line with her bold temperament, she had a special liking for alcohol. It can also be said that she couldn't let it go.
"Ohhh, great. What a tempting gift you've given me. This kind of thing is addictive, isn't it?"
Nickle took a bite with a fork, put it in her mouth, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face. This was the greatest compliment she could give.
The gift prepared by Ye Kai is similar to a brandy cake. After kneading distilled liquor into the dough and baking it, a large amount of distilled liquor is added to soak it inside, and then the surface is covered with monolicot to seal the aroma.
Therefore, once cut, it reveals its true strength, attracting people with its aroma. When tasting, the alcohol stimulates the tongue while the rich sweetness brought by Monocot and the moderate bitterness combine to produce an indescribable harmony.
Although Ye Kai doesn't like alcohol, he likes this type of cake. Although it has been modified by using Monolicote, it is indeed a traditional cake in a sense.
But in this strange world, this kind of cake is still very novel and just suits Nick's taste.
“This is delicious. Made with Monocot, which is my favorite.”
Tulio, who did like alcohol, ate it with gusto.
"Ah, this sweet and stimulating taste is really irresistible."
“I see. This might fascinate some people.”
In fact, there was one person who was addicted to it.
“Give this to the pastry chef and ask him to make another one! If you can’t make it, don’t even think about showing up in front of me again! Got it!”
"Okay, I know."
One of the maids took a piece of cake and left. Nicole herself had already eaten the second piece.
"Ah, it's not that troublesome..."
"I was just kidding. I said that because I trust the palace's pastry chef. He is also the most respected person in the royal family."
Tulio hurriedly tried to stop it, but to them, it was just a game.
“Don’t do this, it’s embarrassing.”
The adventurers saw the shy princess and couldn't help but think she was adorable.
------------------
A corner of the palace's parade ground. Since they arrived, management has become lax. The weeds have been cleared and the insects are no longer rampant.
They lived their lives as they pleased, and the knights would not enter the parade grounds. Only when they stretched their feet to drink water from the trough would they occasionally cross paths.
However, today they were face to face in the sunshine discussing how to deal with the situation.
“Coo…”
“Guli? Gugugugu!”
“Mickey, ickey, ickey!”
"Goo!"
The masters were coming soon. Normally, they would go for a morning run together, then watch the masters' fighting drills and enjoy the breakfast that the orc girl gave them. But this arrangement would probably fall apart completely because of the masters' reactions.
Without reaching a conclusion, time has run out.
--------------
Heading to the palace parade grounds for their daily morning exercise. The Senel birds should have been waiting. However, they were met with a strange sight. They stood face to face.
"what happened?"
Chaim asked, and they turned their heads at the same time. Although I couldn't see their expressions, they seemed to convey a sense of "bad" for some reason.
"What happened?"
“Gugugugugu~”
"What happened? There's no use trying to hide it."
"Guguli~"
“There’s no point in trying to be cute.”
“Coo…”
"show me."
The Senel birds moved aside, and a brown oval ball rolled on the ground.
“Gu~Gu~?”
It was clearly a bird egg. Chaim realized that this meant his mount was suspected of being one of the birds that incubated the egg.
"Goo! Goo-li-goo-goo!"
“Isn’t this an embarrassing explanation?”
"Guguligugu..."
Of course they didn't understand. They just thought it was an excuse to explain at this time.
