Manuke FPS Chapter 226

Published at 8th of May 2023 04:13:29 PM

The sight of the royal wedding cake being carried to the banquet hall on a trolley caught the eyes of all the attendees.

“What a wonderful shape.”

“Did you know such a cake, sir?”

“That is… can you eat it?”

“Do you think our cook can make something like that?”

“Just how many gold coins do you have to accumulate…”

“No, more than that, just how far you must master《Cooking》skill to come up with such an idea…”

The voices of surprise whispered throughout the venue were almost the same as what I heard when I let the employees of Marida Company taste the cake. And it wasn’t just the participants who were robbed of their gaze. Even the three Princes, who should have seen the finest cuisine suitable for royalty, were speechless as they stared at the royal wedding cake that was being brought in front of them.

“Prince Ark, this cake is a dish that is served at a celebration that marks a milestone in life. I thought it would be a suitable dish for today’s dinner party, so I had it carried over the sea for this day.’

“This was made from outside the Orlando continent?”

“It is indeed as you say, Prince.”

“I appreciate your thoughtfulness. However, I’m glad you were able to make it in time for today. It must have taken a considerable amount of time to make and transport something this splendid.”

Prince Ark is only 15 years old. No matter how you look at it, he’s still a young teen that’s not yet a man, but his tone is that of a fine adult――although his voice was high-pitched.

“Exactly. It took several months to bring it to this place tonight, but I’m glad I was able to make it in time.”

“As expected of Schwartz. So, this splendid cake not only looks good, but also tastes perfect, right?”

“…Of course, Your Excellency.”

I was thinking of explaining how much CP that I spent to prepare this royal wedding cake, so as not to describe that it’s not easy to prepare this. But Chancellor Zephanel seemingly wanted to eat it quickly. There is no choice but to cut them apart.

I send a signal to the male waiters who brought the cake and ask them to prepare. Climbing onto the tripod we brought with us, we put a knife into the topmost whole cake stacked on the six-tiered pedestal, and first Ashley received the cake that had been cut into small pieces to fit on a small plate.

As a merchant, I couldn’t hand over the cake to the Royal family, so I asked Ashley for this role in advance.

“Go ahead, Predecessor-sama.”

Considering the official position of a Chancellor, it might seem disrespectful to be distributed before the Royal family, but as far as the eternal Honorary Chancellor Zephanell is concerned, even if the other side is the Crown Prince, she’s an existence that should be given priority.

Then it was handed over to the Crown Prince and his wife, the Second Prince and his wife, then Prince Ark and Lady Lapitilica.

Before I knew it, a large number of nobles and merchants had gathered in front of the Chief guest’s seat. Everyone’s eyes were captivated by the delicate workmanship on the Royal wedding cake, and it’s beautiful to look at, what does it taste like? and watched as the Princes brought the cake to their mouths.

“Ho–hohoho, this is delicious too!”

Chancellor Zephanell provided her impression first. When people eat something that tastes too good, they unintentionally burst into laughter.

“Certainly, I don’t remember eating a cake like this even in the Royal castle.”

“So, there was a confectioner outside the Kingdom who could make something like this?”

“Kilik, I want this for my salon too.”

“Delicious……”

“It’s really delicious, Prince Ark.”

Following the chancellor, Crown Prince Khan spoke up. Then Prince Kilik’s wife Princess Bella, as well as Prince Ark and Lapitiriksama spoke up. Of course, Princess Anastasia and Prince Kilik also had a satisfied expression on their faces. Only Sharle-san, who could be considered as the only commoner among the group, was blushing while eating under the eyes of a large number of people since she’s sitting on the same sofa as the Chancellor…

“How about it, Prince Ark, I think it is impossible to prepare something like this again.”

“Very satisfied—”

“Yeah! Can’t you prepare it in my salon?!”

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the three Princes, it was clear that there was no mistake in the taste. After that, it was this question, which was naturally expected――.

“I’m sorry, Princess Bella. The confectioner who made this cake is a wandering craftsman, so I don’t even know where he is currently wandering. I was able to prepare it because I managed to track the person by chance. Therefore I can’t make any promises.”

I’ll tell you 800 lies if I have to… I’ll never get stuck in gacha again.

“It’s a pity. Hey, Kilie, I want that too.”

“Then Daikokuya, at least tell me the name of the craftsman. My ‘Rafflesia’ will find them.”

“As you wish. Tonight’s cake was made by an old female confectioner named Filiona, a commoner.”

“That’s a name I’ve never heard of before… hey.”

Prince Kilik called out to the man behind the sofa, and immediately gave instructions to search for the confectioner. But, you probably won’t find it――it’s a random name I’ve just come up with.

“Ark, everyone seems to be very interested in this cake. You should ask the waiter to divide it for the guest.”

“Yes, brother Khan. I want Cyril to eat it too, I’ll leave it to you.”

I heard a sigh of admiration leaking from behind me at the shout of Crown Prince Khan. Starting with the Chancellor, the three Princes and their wives all raised their voices of admiration. It’s obvious that the Nobles and influential merchants wanted to taste this cake as well.

Prince Khan, who felt the atmosphere, immediately made the call. He must have been good at reading the atmosphere around him. With Prince Ark’s permission, several waiters cut the Royal wedding cake into pieces, and in the blink of an eye, the six-tiered whole cake disappeared.

“It seems that everyone, including Prince Ark, was pleased. If we stay here, we will be a hindrance to all the important people, so we will withdraw.”

“Schwartz, and Ashley Zephanell, thank you for your concern.”

I greeted Prince Ark from the front of the VIP seat, and Ashley and I pulled up to the back of the venue. In front of the table of honored guests, there were many voices praising the cake regardless of the Prince’s eyes, and I was convinced that this gift was the right answer.

After reuniting with Maltsan and Maridsan, my cheeks relaxed at the success of the gift, but when I looked back at the VIP seats, I could see Prince Kilik and Princess Bella leaving. At the same time, even looking at the map floating in my field of vision, I could see several light points moving away from the venue.

A lot of time has passed since the dinner party started. It wouldn’t be strange if some participants choose to leave, but it was a little surprising that Prince Kilok was the first. Chancellor Zephanell and Prince Khan have not been seen for a long time, and there was no end to the nobility and merchants who wanted to meet them. Prince Ark is also the main character tonight, so it’s almost guaranteed that he won’t be the first to leave.

When I was following Prince Kilik as he left the venue, he was calling out to Felix, the vice-master of the Rafflesia—that man, too, seemed to be leaving with Princess Cyril.

I plan to send Ashley to the Royal castle, but Ashley won’t leave before Chancellor Zephanell does. The chancellor herself seemed to be enjoying this dinner party quite a bit, so I’m going to enjoy it a little more.
