The two boys were happily chatting about how the food was delicious and Sean wanted to be someone who was great in cooking and gained reputation in the world.
"You want to be a chef Sean?"
Sean tilt his head and look at me with curious eyes. It must be his first time hearing a weird profession regarding cooking.
"Chef?"
"Yes… a chef is someone who professionally cook and prepare food deliciously"
"Oh.. just like you?"
"No… I am just someone who cooks food as part of my daily life. But a chef were trained for it and has it as their job and work in a place that serve foods"
Freddy and Sean look confused with their eyebrows twitched and I found it cute.
"Doesn't it sound just like what you do?"
I giggle and think of the best way to describe it so these young kids could understand it.
Sean didn't say it wrong but I didn't dare to call myself a chef since what I did was only provide delicious food for others but not as my professional job.
"Chef is like a job where they were trained and learned the skills for cooking and working in a place like a restaurant and inn"
"Still… it does sound like what you do…"
Freddie and Sean almost fell from their chair when the handsome face suddenly appeared at the backdoor.
"Prince Carlos"
The tall figure hair was shining from the sunlight and he told the kids to sit still with his hand.
He was smiling with his eyes, there's a small bruise on his face and a bandage on his arms.
"The tournament has ended?"
I stepped towards him unconsciously, like the childhood friend who I had not seen in a short time. He felt familiar to me.
"It is still ongoing, but my mind cannot forget the upfront payment and I want to collect the full payment today."
I look at his bruise closely, it was from a heavy blow I guess,
"Kids, learn from this lady and work with me when you are ready. Maybe you can be my Royal chef. I won't hesitate if its Vierra who vouch for you"
His eyes were looking at the kids but suddenly met with my eyes and he just stared at me.
"Who dared hurt the precious prince's face?"
Prince Carlos arch an eyebrow but didn't comment, instead he blushed and I noticed that my face must be too close to his.
"INSOLENT BRAT!"
The loud voice made the whole inn shake in fear, and I could recognize that it was my dear father who was just come back from his short expedition.
It just took a second before I saw father throw a punch to the pitiful prince who second ago was blushing and now bleeding from father's heavy blow.
"You old man. What are you thinking. There nothing happen you idiot old man"
"You dare to touch my precious daughter."
"V ! tell your father it's a misunderstanding!!!"
Prince Carlos was under father's feet, struggling like a nimble worm.
"Father, you misunderstood. Hugo, Greg please stop father"
Hugo slowly put his gear and took his time towards them while Greg who doesn't seem to understand anything continued eating the snack in the kitchen with Sean and Freddy.
Worried about the safety of the Prince of Beastland I hurried asking the red fairies to call mother and it only took a second for mother to appear before me.
Mother was walking gracefully inside the kitchen with a warm smile.
"Your father take the man to playing Knight even though he know that guest will be flowing in"
Despite mother's whisper voice beside me, father suddenly froze knowing mother was watching him from behind.
That's the Fairy Queen for you. Mother is the best. I sighed out of relief.
Mother asked me to heal Carlos right away while mother dragged father away from the kitchen.
