Tatyana finished working and headed over to the gazebo where she used to eat lunch with Daryl for the past three months. She reminscised back on all the good times they had together at that place. When she was feeling low, would cheer her up. If she was tired and Daryl would give her a massage. When Daryl was stressed out with all the duties he was doing, Tatyana would sing him a song or two. That way, they both made eachother's day better, all throught that one meal they shared together and the one or two times Daryl would take Tatyana home. They laughed together. Finally, Tatyana got round to callimg him his name and stopped calling him his lordship when they were together. This made Daryl the happiest.
He surely has been there for me hasnt he? Never thought I could have friend in my life. When she got back to the gazebo, she found Daryl already seated and waiting for her." One of these days Rylls,I'm gonna beat you when coming here!" She said while sitting down." Ha! Yeah right Tats, you've been saying that for the past three months. Do you really think you can beat me? Not. A. Chance!" They chatted while eating and planned to go a few places around the village when they for time.
"Hey Tats! Guess what?" Daryl said with a mouthfull. He gobbled up his food and helped it ho down with a big glass of juice." You know, for a prince, you sure eat disgustingly! Well, what should I guess? Oh, my dear disgusting lordship?" She said while wiping her mouth with a napkin." You know, that is princely Daryl, not the real Daryl. I don't have to pretend around you. Cause ya know, you already know me. You're the only person I can be myself around, well, other than Bertrum that is....Oh yeah that thing! My mom told me that she's planning on hiring a chef from Getua kingdom. He's known widely for his amazing dishes. He'll be coming in next week." Tatyana stopped eating cause she had already finished her food. What? They're planning on hiring somebody from another kingdom? Do they want that person to suffer or what? Last time I checked, metuzan servants don't really like workers from other kingdoms." So what ya think? Wouldn't that be great? I've tasted one of his dishes at the Getuan princess' wedding and it was simply marvelous! If he comes, I'll bring over some of his deserts over for lunch. I'm telling you, they are simply to die for!" Tatyana actually liked that idea. If his deserts are 'to die for' as Daryl said, why not? And, it'd be pretty good to talk to someone who isn't Metuzan for once. Not that she hated them, but, they sure were a handful.

Tatyana finished working and headed to the kitchen inorder to go and grab some food for her and Daryl. The new chef's arriving today. I wonder how he's like. Sure hope he's strong enough to endure the harsh treatment he'll go through though.
She walked up to the kitchen and took the two plates. She started serving when she saw a blue haired man sitting at a stool with his head down. Ah! This must be the new chef. Blue hair? Well thats unexpected. Maybe I should go introduce myself.
"Hello...um sir. Nice to meet you. My name is Tatyana." The new chef looked up to see which blonde haired, brown eyed girl was talking to him this time. Shocking! This one didnt sneer at me. I wonder what she wants. He was shocked to see that this one was actually had brown hair, green eyes, light skin and slightly taller than most girls. He noticed that he hadn't yet answered her." Hello, may I help you miss?" Better to get right to the point than to beat around the bush. Before she discriminates me like the others." I'm in no need of assistance sir. Just a fellow coworker greeting another. I believe you are the new chef right?" Greeting!? Fellow coworker!? The new chef looked at the girl once again why she was still talking to him." Please, don't call me sir. I'm just 18. And don't call me 'new chef' my name is Lukas James. It's a pleasure to meet you too Tatyana." She seems nice. She hasn't said anything bad about me so far. "I just came over to give you some friendly advice. Don't let other workers get to you. They're just like that. I want you to know, that I get how you feel, cause I myself am going through the same thing. As you can see, I'm not from this kingdom. So people treat us the same way." Luke was still surprised by her. Is this for real? Is she really saying that she's not gonna treat me the same way? Luke took some time to analyze the girl once again." Would you like to taste some of my deserts Tatyana? I have a feeling you would like them." He took Tatyana's hand and sat her down on the chair he was sitting on. He whipped up something simple and very tasty at the same time just to impress her. Good thing he kept some of the deserts which were too many for the royal family's lunch.
It was his all time favorite to make, chocolate chip ice cream. He added a few designs to it and it was done. He turned around and gave the bowl to Tatyana. She looked at it for a while with a very impressed look on her face. Booyah! She's impressed!" Mmmm! This tastes amazing Lukas! I have never tasted such deliciousness in my whole life! It is just finger licking good!" No wonder he's a very renowned chef in all the kingdoms. Goodness gracious! So amazing! Luke made a bowl for himself and sat down next to her. They ate the dish together while chatting along.
Where could Tats be? Sure she runs a lil bit late sometimes but this is just too late! Daryl walked through the hallways looking for Tatyana, wondering where on earth she was. Ah! Maybe she's in the kitchen. Lemme go check. He walked into to the kitchen, grabbed two plates and served some food for him and Tatyana. Maybe she'd want to eat somewhere around here. I'm too lazy to go all the way back and get the food I left at the gazebo. Maybe I could get the deserts from the new chef as well. Again, too lazy to go back and get the ones I had already brought. Daryl walked to the cooking station and saw the new chef leaning into Tatyana's face while his hand had cupped her check. What the hell is going on?
