Mrs. Anne left home and joined the interview for cooking recruitment. They both agreed if Mrs. Anne succeed to be employed at the mansion, thus, Alice will join knights program. She told Mrs. Anne that she decided to be a knight and would be happy if she is the person that can protect her mother with all her might. Around 5 on the evening, Mrs. Anne went home with big smile on her face. She is appointed as a sous-chef of the kitchen as she is one of the most talented cooks that meets the criteria from the Duchess.
Mrs. Anne is very happy to work as a cook there. Everybody praised her cooks. Even, the Duchess Hiya, the most fussy person, but when it comes to food, she approves Mrs. Anne's cooks. While, Alice is training under 2nd sword class, as she is a newbie of swords but she managed to get in second rank class out of six classes . The training at knight's field is no joke. Sometimes, Alice will get bruises and tear ligaments. She also made new friends, Jules and Ethan.
They both are very good to Alice. She loves her new life even though it is hard to adapt at first. Jules and Ethan helped her through a lot. They will be yelled by the commander for being late. But the trio will make it as silly jokes after training finished. They will badmouth the instructor and gossip a lot. Mrs. Anne and Alice never tell people about their relationship. It is much safer to keep silent than to tell. They will see each other during holiday and travel outside of the countryside. Only Jules and Ethan knows about those two.
After 3 years of training, Alice, Jules and Ethan participated in expedition of the West Perk. They stayed there for six months for hunting season, martial arts lecture and horse riding started to begin. They will have more tough times this time. However, Alice enjoyed all things she done. She felt like she can learn many things and learn new talents everyday. There are people who joined the Knight's Training that cannot read, thus, Alice took this chance to slowly teach them and even offer to tutor language during break time. Alice is known for her angelic personality when she lived with the knights. When she feels exhausted, she will kindly refused to lecture the knights. From time to time, she will exchange letters with Mrs. Anne through post deliver provided for knights. She missed her mama, but at least she knows that mama is in good place where mama loves to be there.
After the head chef at Duke's mansion retired, Mrs. Anne was appointed to be the next head chef by Duchess Hayi. She is now more happier than ever! Even tough, Duchess Hayi is a very picky and demanding person, as long as she is in a position where she likes, she will handle it with the best care.
Maybe this is a new beginning journey for Alice to live her life with the fullest.., or maybe there will be many hurdles and obstacles she will go through after she finished training as a knight?
