Right at this moment, the attendant from earlier strode into the kitchen with the 10 female servants again, and he looked at Mag with an excited expression as he said, "Congratulations, Master Mag, His Majesty and all of the esteemed guests were very pleased with your dish. Looks like you'll be in the running for the best dish of the day."
The entire royal kitchen abruptly fell silent as all of the chefs looked on in astonishment.
"Argh!"
A chef accidentally burned his hand on his stovetop in his stunned stupor, and he immediately thrust his hand into the barrel of water nearby.
The best dish of the day? That was an honor that was reserved only for the best chef in the royal kitchen!
It wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to say that the one who received this accolade would be hailed as the number one chef on the entire Norland Continent!
