Christopher stared down at the mess that he had created and for the first time ever, wanted to pull his hair out due to sheer frustration.
The chef and the kitchen staff who had been in awe of the King had to hide away their faces to hide their snickers and giggles.
Du Ming shook his head and tried once again," Sir, I am sure, if you have the chefs prepare the treats, the Queen will love them just as much!"
Christopher looked up with a scowl and spoke," Of course she will be! But I won't! I want to do this myself!"
All the staff in the kitchen sighed with envious hearts even as they lamented that with the King's skill, the Queen might actually suffer with indigestion instead of celebrating love.
Christopher sighed in frustration and ordered," Clear up the counter. I will begin again in ten!"
With that the King marched out of the kitchen giving the people there momentary relief.
