Zen grabbed a piece of at from a magical beast they had previously killed as he cleaned off the blood and broke the tendons of the at for it to be tender and juicy.
Afterward, Zen seasoned it with so spices and used his essence fla as the base to heat up the at. Since he was used to cooking, there was always everything that a chef needed in his spatial ring.
Sniff
"Mhmm, the spices already slled so good. I'm definitely going to satisfy those three won with my cooking." Zen chuckled softly as he started searing the at from both sides.
But as he was cooking, Zen forgot the most important part and that was asking how rare they wanted their at to be in.
So preferred to have their at as rare while others preferred to have their at as dium-rare or worse, dium-well done.
Zen was caught in a dilemma since asking them now is too late when the at is being seared already.
"Ah whatever, I just cook all of the at at a different temperature and let them choose it. I don't have the brain cells to think about their preferences." Zen shrugged his shoulders as he returned to cooking the at.
Soti later, Zen finished cooking around half of the at when Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon returned back since they slled a delicious aroma from afar.
"Mhmm, what is this aroma I'm slling?" Krista Dragoon sniffed slightly and sat down next to Zen who was concentrating on the piece of at in the pan.
"Yea, this sll has even more fragrance than the cook in our imperial family. Zen is truly a gourt chef to arouse our appetite like this." Leila Dragoon added as she snatched a piece of at from the plate that was cooked already.
Afterward, she took a bite, and instantly, the juice overwheld her causing her to yelp in delight with a bashful face from eating such delicacy.
Krista Dragoon swallowed her saliva in her throat nervously as she watched in envy of her little sister that could just do as she pleased. She wanted to snatch a bite as well but it would ruin her image and it's not an acceptable etiquette as a princess.
Zen smiled at Krista Dragoon's attitude and said, "Those ats are already done and if you don't eat them now then the at would go cold. It'll be a sha if that happened."
Krista Dragoon didn't even wait for another second after hearing Zen's word as her hand reached for a piece of at before gulping it down onto her stomach.
Zen started laughing as he flickered his hand and the utensil appeared on the plate, causing Krista Dragoon to beco angry.
"You had utensils but you didn't place them on the plate until now." Krista Dragoon shouted as she punched him lightly in anger.
Zen laughed and explained himself that he wasn't the one at fault.
"Who would have thought a dignified princess in a large kingdom to be in a rush to eat food that she needed to use her hand?" Zen shrugged his shoulders as his smile beca wider.
"Hmph, I was just hungry after all those fighting and forgot about the proper etiquette." Krista Dragoon scoffed and grabbed the fork as she pierces the at and brought it to her mouth.
Zen was dumbfounded by her sudden way of eating but didn't dare to interrupt her enjoynt in eating his at.
'Heh, my cooking skill has not degraded and still has many people that are enjoying it.' Zen said inwardly as he was proud of himself.
Afterward, Zen continued to cook while asking which temperature they preferred the most and both princesses replied dium rare as their answer.
Zen nodded his head and decided to cook at that temperature while secretly storing so of the cooked at to Cecilia. Cecilia has been nagging on him ever since Leila Dragoon took the first bite so she was jealous and wanted to enjoy the at too.
The at was overflowing with juice and even Zen couldn't help himself but take a few bites as he cooked.
anwhile, the aroma of the cooking continued to spread throughout the forest, causing people and magical beasts to search for the source as they wanted a piece of the delicacy as well.
"Zen, are you sure that no one is going to interrupt our al?" Leila Dragoon asked with her mouth full of at so it was barely audible for Zen to understand her words.
Zen took a while to understand her and said, "It's fine because I was planning on attracting others to co to us in the beginning. It's very tireso to walk around, searching for the enemies when we could simply get them to co to us instead."
And he continued, "If the enemies co to us because of the aroma then my shadow can easily ambush them from all sides. Afterward, my points will beco sky high so that we can leave this trashy forest in no ti."
Leila Dragoon gasped in surprise at the insidious mind that Zen has for trying to cook so delicacies for them.
"Y-You an to say that when you offered to cook, you wanted this kind of outco?" Leila Dragoon stuttered as she couldn't believe him to be so calculative in his actions.
However, Krista Dragoon showed no reaction, almost like she guessed his action already. She was a manipulative and calculative woman as well so when she heard about Zen's betting, she already knew he had other plans behind.
The betting part was just a bonus and sothing for fun while baiting the enemies is the true motive.
"Well, not that his plan is terrible since his at is indeed pretty good for my taste." Krista Dragoon said as she wiped her mouth gently with a small handkerchief.
Zen smiled brightly as he held Krista Dragoon's waist and whispered softly in her ears, "As expected of my won, smart and beautiful at the sa ti. I'm truly blessed to have you by my side."
