Mrs. Novak, Adelina and her daughter Margarita came to greet her and surrounded the same table. The maid Mina brews tea and brings sweets.

Adelina brightened her eyes when she saw a plate of some sweets.

"I'm so glad! I was worried about this lovely rose cookie at the banquet the other day, but I was so obsessed with talking that I couldn't eat it. The baked goods are also lovely... the Duke's chef is amazing how colorful they can be."

"I'm competing with the chef of the castle of Yurnova and the chef of the Imperial City. The chef of the castle praised Mikhail with these sweets and sent the recipe to the Imperial Capital with his nose high."

Ekaterina smiles.

The beginning was that Ekaterina suggested to the chef of the castle of Yunova that the same cookies in the form of roses that were popular at the abbreviated garden party in the Imperial City should be served at the Mikhail welcome dinner.

So, it seems that the chefs and chefs of the castle are on fire.

Yurnova Castle is the Duke's main residence.

However, the Imperial Palace welcomes the royal family for lunch every year, and in that regard it is regarded as more than the main residence.

Especially when it comes to cooking, the Imperial Capital is better.

Therefore, during the visit of His Royal Highness, the chef of the castle exchanged letters with the chef of the Imperial Capital to gather information. Instead, he said, "I will go beyond the Imperial Capital! It was burning."

That's why the chefs invented and prototyped rose cookies much better than those served at the Imperial Duke's residence to surprise the ladies and the Crown Prince.

What made it possible was a cookie in the form of an amazingly realistic rose. Hand-picked, baked petals from the fabric, like artificial flowers, one by one. At the welcome banquet, the real roses were mixed and arranged, and the blue butterfly craftsmanship was decorated and the eyes were beautiful, and the guests praised it.

In addition, they made baked confectionery in the form of roses, which they succeeded in adding colors such as red and yellow, which stunningly stuck in Mikhail's eyes and gave him compliments. The chef was distressed by tears.

Ekaterina, of course, praises her words with a tasting beforehand.

But... I didn't have to tell you that I thought the Emperor's version of the cookie was crispy and delicious. Perhaps the chef knows.

Anyway, this kind of healthy rival relationship is good. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of sweets the chefs in the Imperial City will bring.

Baroness Cherney's apple pie, taught by Flora, was made by the chef without raising the white flag and adding his hand to the recipe. It was the strongest recipe.

The apple pie is also cut into smaller pieces on today's confectionery dishes.

For the Prince's welcome banquet, the power of sweets as if women were the main guests came from beet sugar, which has been added to the specialty of Yurnova territory in recent years.

Given that, Mikhail may have implicitly said that the royal family appreciated Yurnova's success in producing sugar, even though he praised the confectionery. It was one of the great achievements of my grandfather Sergei to be able to produce sugar within the empire, which was dependent on imports from other countries.

I may have read too much, but I think it could be a prince. Really, you're 16 years old.

How did oniisama interpret the prince? I'll ask you later.

The women enjoyed the conversation as they grabbed sweets in the beautiful nature.

The mother and daughter of the Novak family are the opponents, so Novak becomes the first topic of discussion. Mrs. Adelina was still in love with her husband and glad to hear how Novak in the office could be relied on. Next door, her daughter Margarita smiles bitterly.

Speaking of which, I heard about Sergei's grandfather holding a place between Novak and Adelina in a restaurant where he had dinner with Alexei in the Imperial City.

"That's a nostalgic story. I cannot thank Lord Sergei enough. Really nice and kind."

Mrs. Adelina looks happy blushing her face. Turn to my daughter.

"From that time on, your father was really a lovely man without love ~"

Yes, that's right.

Margarita exudes her mother's affection in a familiar way.

And she turned her face to Flora, who was being modest.

"Cherney's family was also close to Lord Sergei."

You're familiar with it.

Flora keeps an eye on purple. Her adoptive parents, Baron Cherney and his wife, were classmates of her grandfather Sergei at Magic School when they were young. In addition, Margarita said that she was guided by her grandfather the day before graduation, but how does Margarita know that?

"You talked to the students at the Imperial Palace. It's a lovely story, I wrote to you right away."

... certainly. At the abbreviated garden party at the Imperial Duke's residence, I think I talked about it. Regardless, I should have told you that I was my grandfather's best friend.

But, Margarita, I knew it.

"It's a pleasure to have such a friendly daughter as your best friend."

"I'm very grateful, too. I wish I'd been on my side for a long time."

When Flora dyed her cheeks, her mother and daughter's eyes sparkled. It seems that Flora's hopes for the future - to be Ekaterina's maid - have been exhausted.

A high-ranking maid of honor sometimes holds a strong position of authority.

"Mr Cherney is worthy of her side. I would be very happy if you and I could get along."

"Thank you very much. It's an honor."

Mother and daughter look closely at Flora.

It seems that an alliance has been created.

From a distance, I sometimes hear cheers and hounds roaring. As predicted, hunting is like hunting in the air.

Oniisama, are you hurt? Oniisama running around the hunting grounds on a dark famous horse is sure to be lovely. Ah, oniisama seems to miss you.

I hope the crown prince will get the great horn cow he wanted.

"Lady?"

Called, Ekaterina returned to me. You mustn't.

"I'm sorry, Asakusa. I wondered if oniisama was okay."

"You're really close."

It was the widow Zoya who smiled.

The women who come to this valley are family members of the hunting tournament participants, but she is not. The Novartis sister, who participated in the hunt, was originally scheduled to come here, but at the banquet, she learned about Ekaterina's personality and decided that unlike her grandmother Alexandra, she did not dislike horseback riding women, so she changed her preference to participate in the hunt as a delight. Margarita invited Zoya into the open.

Ekaterina stopped Zoya, who came to greet her, and had her at the same table.

"What did Zoya think of us?

Ekaterina asked about the elegant wooden dishes lined up on the table. It was given to me by Captain Aurora when I was staying at the forest people's residence.

Zoya was married to a house that runs the biggest Chamber of Commerce in Yurnova. There is no title, but history is long and extremely rich. And they should be good at identifying products.

"I'm still in business....."

Though he said so, Zoya took the tableware and shouted it for a serious look.

"I think it's beautiful. The strength seems to be strong. However, in Yurnova, wooden dishes are not preferred by the upper classes. Because of the land pattern where wood is easily available, the image of what poor people use and what they used to use in old times is strong."

"Ah... that's right."

To be convinced, Ekaterina nodded a little discouraged.

"But... maybe now is a good time."

There was a smile in Zoya's mouth.

"From the Crown Prince's welcoming banquet, traditional things are about to take their feet off. Instead of leaving the old one intact, it is refined in a sophisticated form and makes you feel the tradition. That's the kind of thing you're looking for... that's what I felt back then."

So long, Zoya!

"My late husband called. The flow is said to be increased by grasping and riding. It's not just about watching, it's about getting involved and growing up. If you put your hands on it, you might be able to grow a lot."

"Have you worked with me?

Saying excitedly, Zoya tightened her expression to Ekaterina.

"I still have concerns. Dishes must be a set. Also, don't be uneven in size or shape. Whether the craftsman who made this will be able to make many uniform things will be the point of selling it as a product."

"That's the right word...."

It may be difficult for the people of the forest to make a lot of numbers. Yeah, we need to check the number of pieces we can produce beforehand. When Mr. Forri returns, and the report and handling of the eruption is completed, please consult with him and have Aurora contact him...

Ugh, I wonder if there's a way to contact Aurora directly.

"I'll get back to you when I have any concerns."

"We look forward to welcoming you."

Mr. Zoya, it seems that your husband arranged for you to retain the rights and income of the Chamber of Commerce without doing anything, but until your son grows up, he would like to do his best as a relay to the Chamber of Commerce representative.

As a former livestock, women who work want to support them. If it's going to work, I'll leave it up to Zoya to sell the wooden dishes of the forest people in Yurnova territory.

But watch out for overwork!

What happened in the morning, after a light lunch, Ekaterina decided to stroll around with Flora.

"Lady, be careful. They say there's a little leprechaun around here that can embarrass people and have fun."

That's what Madame Adelina told me, and Ekaterina is rather tense.

A fairy is like a pack in Shakespeare "Midsummer Night Dream"?

I want to see it!
