"Princess Astrid! I bought you something! " Evangeline barged on her door and excitedly walked to her while holding a lot of paper bags. She has two maids with her and also holding a lot of paper bags too.
Astrid couldn't get excited because she was too distracted, thinking about what she and Magnus talked about yesterday. She had asked everyone about her ability but they did not answer her. She asked again Magnus but she got scared when he got angry with her thats why she did not try to ask any more questions.
"Look at this! Its beautiful right? " She even took off the yellow pastel dress she was holding which she took out to the paper bag to show Astrid. It is a simple below the knee dress with a small white embroidered flower all over the dress.
Astrid did not even think about what she found out because she had already turned her attention to what Evangeline had bought for her.
"I came in the town earlier to buy you all this stuffs." She said gladly. Astrid wondered what was in town. She could only see it from the veranda of her room because there were so many different color of lights to be seen there when night came.
"I hope I can visit there. Its so suffocating in here. I cant even roam around outside the palace. " Astrid said sadly. She is really bored inside the palace. Unlike in the world she grew up in, she was able to get out.
"Just be patient. When the time comes, I will tour you whenever you want to go. " Evangeline raised her voice to bring back the joy of Astrid. She also felt sorry for the princess but they could do nothing now but stay inside the palace.
"I also hope that I can also tour from where I came from." Astrid recovered from her. Evangeline smiled as she grew up because of the excitement she was feeling. She also wants to know what is in the world of mortals.
"Really?! Im so excited!" She even applauded and obviously liked what Astrid told her. She just laughed because of Evangeline's reaction. They stopped laughing when Astrid's stomach make a sound because of hunger. It was almost lunch time and she was not able to have breakfast because she woke up late earlier.
Evangeline raised an eyebrow at her and sneered at her. Astrid awkwardly smiled at her. Ashamed on what happened. Evangeline called the two maids she was with earlier to fix the things she bought for Astrid.
"Do you cook?" She turned to Astrid after ordering the helpers.
Astrid nodded. "Yes." She answered it even though she wondered why she asked that.
Evangeline applauded when Astrid answered her. "Good! Teach me how. Lets go. "
She pulled Astrid out. They were both surprised when they met Magnus who seemed to be going to Astrid's room. He asked them where they were going but Astrid could not answer because of Evangeline's haste. He even heard Magnus tell them to be careful.
"Let's cook your specialty." Evangeline said happily as they landed in the kitchen where their cooks are cooking.
Astrid roamed her eyes inside the kitchen. It was huge and she saw about five people doing kitchen work. They paid their respects when they suddenly entered the kitchen. Surprised and wondering what the princesses are doing in that area.
"Wow. You also have cooking appliances like ours. How come? I thought your kingdom is like the old times. " Stunning she says.
"Yes. About that, we can connect in the other world because every person who lives here is destined to have a partner. You just have to wait for the right time to meet that someone and it happens that their partners is in the other world for others. " She explained that Astrid was surprised because she did not expect that something like that happened.
"The councils decided to visit the mortals world so that we can have an upgraded appliances or such. That's why. " She even pointed out the tools to show that that is why they have such tools.
They started cooking after Evangeline explained. Astrid was the only one who did everything because even if she taught Evangeline, she couldn't do it and started complaining and at the end she just watched Astrid to cook.
"There you go." Astrid put down what she had cooked on the table when they finished. Their eyes were shining with hunger. There is also another meal that the cooks cook.
"It smells good Princess and it looks delicious. What is that dish? " She asked as she watched at what Astrid cooked and fanned it to make her smell better.
"Sweet and sour meatballs." She replied with a smile. She likes to cook it because that is also her grandmother's specialty. She taught her to cook because they were only two together and as time goes by she became better at the culinary field that she love to do.
"What's that?" Astrid backed away in shock when Magnus spoke behind her.
"Its Princess Astrid's specialty." Evangeline answered him and even recounted what they had done earlier in the kitchen. The others also came and they sat in their chairs.
"Lets eat! Im excited to taste Princess Astrid's dish. " Xeraphine couldn't wait because she had already asked Evangeline next to her to serve her food.
Everyone get their own food and tasted Astrid's dish. They were all very happy because what Astrid's cooked is delicious. Astrid hopes that Magnus will comment but he continue to eat. Astrid was disappointed but she did not know why she felt that way.
"Eat more." He even put enough food on her plate. He would have taken another dish but Astrid stopped him because she would not be able to finish it if he added more.
Magnus just followed and went back to eating. Everyone is talking while eating. Zion's gossip is constant and teasing her sisters sometimes. Astrid just listens and has no intention of participating in the conversation, so does Magnus.
"Brother! What can you say about Princess Astrid's cooking skill? Is it good or bad? " Zion suddenly asked him. Magnus glanced at Astrid before turning to his brother.
"Not bad." He gave a short answer. Astrid frowned at his answer but she did not reveal that she did not like what the prince said.
"You're so mean." Dion groaned. Astrid was even a little surprised because she rarely heard him speak and now she feels that he is defending her. Eventually Astrid just smiled at him.
Magnus glared at his brother. Dion just grinned at him and so did Zion.
"Why are you smiling?" He asked Astrid rudely.
"Why? Is it forbidden our great prince? " She asked back at Magnus teasingly. Astrid ignored him and continued eating.
Magnus frowned and ate again, he looks angry. They did not talked to him again because they are worried that he will burst out if they tease him. Astrid is not scared by what Magnus is acting now because she is enjoying her food.
Everyone looked at Magnus when he suddenly stood up and said he was leaving. He did not even finish his food on his plate. Everyone agreed but the twins just grinned more because of what Magnus actions.
