"What is this dish called? It is very sweet.."
As General Jin Teng and Flaris both stared at Wu Long, the man picked up another piece of the sweet thing and took a bite as he continued, "It also has a nice bite of spices. What is this?"
When neither of the people answered, Wu Long turned his questioning gaze towards Jin Teng who first pointed at the Prince and then then uttered,"Pri.." Narrowing his eyes, Prince Ivruss silenced Jen Ting with a glare as he turned tk Flaris and noticed her expression. Jen Ting ha definitely spoken too much. But how much..
Raising an eyebrow, he asked Flaris questioningly without a uttering a word.
But Flaris's mind was in a whirl. General who looked younger, was old enough to be her great great great grandfather's grandfather and Wu Long who looked a bit older than General was probably a baby dragon who had not even reached puberty. And she had been thinking of ogling.. Poor baby... And then she remembered that even though Wu Long was a young dragon he must be at least a few hundred years older than her...right?"
Shaking her head, she looked at the dessert and explained," It's Linzer Torte. It's tough is made with buts and spices and I used some fruit. Since General Jin Teng is a general he must need healthy food full of fats and fibre and protein, so I made it.. but he wouldn't eat it.."
Wu Long who had been about to grab a third piece turned to look at Jin Teng as he said,"You made it for him, hmm? It's his bad luck that he cannot savor it. General Jin Teng, Prince Ivruss asked me if you had finished the job for mining that he gave you?"
Jin Teng looked up and shivered inwardly. of course Prince Ivruss had not given him any job for mining but he understood.. He would be a fool not to understand. The Prince was already eating.. And now he was jealous.. because his mate prepared something for him. How was it his fault? But he dare not say anything. Mining was a horrible job that he hated! They had to dig and dig and dig in that horrible heat! He did not want to go. But looking at the Prince, if he waited a minute more he would have to be dug out from the ground.. Bowing, he said,"I had forgotten. Thank you for reminding me. Good bye then."
Flaris watched as General Jin Teng raced out of there as if he could smell something dirty. was the Prince so bad that even his name was scary. Her attention however was then distracted by Wu Long, who questioned her,"What have you prepared for me?"
Flaris looked down at the table full of dishes and sighed,"Uhh.. I did not know when you would come back. All this is very tasty and healthy. I am a Master Chef you know. I have won many competitions. The most recent one where I made gluten free things for those who are allergic to it You just have to taste the food I make and you will know my talents.. Why don't we have this as it would be wasted and tomorrow I will make something nice for you specially?"
But Wu Long refused as he said,"No. This was prepared for General. I have already eaten my fill. please enjoy this and then I will update you on the investigation. Also, you can provide me a list of things that you know to make and I will choose tomorrow's menu."
But Flaris was angry now. She was being nice to these dragons but did they think that she was their new maid? Why would she make food for him?
Her muttered question was answered by Wu Long as he said,"Do you think my home is a hotel? You can't live rent free. Also, I am only asking you to cook. The Prince's castle has been recently looking for a chef so you can work some till we finish our investigation."
Flaris widened her eyes as she went closer to the man and asked him suspiciously,"Are you sure you can not read minds? How did you know what I was thinking"
Wu Long smiled a sinister smile and said,"I can read minds actually."
