Gourmet Emperor: Master Of Culinary World 193 Five Girls Sisterhood

"Say, Carina, I hear you're the one who knows Henry longer than your sister Clara and Carina here. Is that true?"

"Mmm…my father takes me to the castle when I was five years old and I stay here since then. Even when my father retires and moved to the city, I still stay in the castle as brother Henry's maid"

"Wow…that's quite a long time. Please tell me, what kind of man is Henry in your eyes?"

"Brother Henry…..there're too many words to describe him. If only some of his traits, that would be: a compa.s.sionate man, a reliable man, a strong man, a man of his words, a gentleman, a trustworthy person, loving and caring person to people who he holds dearly…aah there are too many good things on him"

My sister, Celes, Clara, and Claire only nodded when Carina mentions Henry's trait one by one.

"Mmm…I agree on all those traits you've mention sister Carina. Besides the good side, everyone had a bad side too, right? What kind of bad side Henry had?"

"Hum….maybe because of he too kind, brother Henry hardly refuse anyone who asks him for help. And also although look calm, he can be impulsive when someone offends people who dear to him. Sister Celes already see that, right? And he sometimes can be stubborn when he already made up his mind, which tends to be reckless action of him"

"Mmm…that's true too. One more thing sister Carina, what do you think about Henry's relations.h.i.+p with women around him?"

Hearing this question, suddenly Clara and Claire's heart is beating faster. They silently pray that Carina didn't say something unnecessary, especially his relations.h.i.+p with his personal maids.

"Humm…brother Henry is treating women around him well. He never hara.s.ses them, never ask something absurd, although we only maids, he treat us politely and with respect. He even asks us to accompany him to have a meal together. Usually, maids in other places only can eat after their master finish having a meal. He said 'more people are merrier'…although it does not happen every time, but it makes us feel happy"

"Mmm…that's really Henry that I know. He never discriminates people, whether because of their appearance nor their social status. And I feel happy he never changed from Henry I know ten years ago"

"Is there anything else you want to ask, sister Celes. If there's none, please excuse me, I will return to the kitchen and help brother Henry cooking"

"Right…I almost forget that, by the way, do you know what will be served for dinner tonight?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that would be birds nest soup, croquette, tortilla, curry rice, and vegetable salad"

"Ooohh…this is my first time to hear such dishes. Dinner's tonight will something worth to wait, fu fu fu. Alright sister Carina, thanks for your information. You can go now and help Henry cooking"

Carina rises from her seat and leaves Celes' room. Clara pushes Claire's shoulder to make her back to her seat.

"What are you doing Claire? We still have a duty here…Don't tell me you want to go to the kitchen too"

"Ehehehe…you know me well, sister Clara"

Eliza and Celes giggling when seeing this comical act of Clara and Claire.

"Mmm…actually I also want to see how Henry's work in the kitchen"

"Please don't do that sister Celes. When you arrive there, the cooks will lose their focus on their job and may ruin the cooking. If you want to see Henry do the cooking, please ask him to let you see his work first"

"Oh…alright, I'll ask him first for that. Hmm? Sister Eliza…you keep silent but you look like want to say something to me"

"Ugh…that's right. Actually…I want to ask sister Celes about your brother"

"Fu fu fu…what is it, sister Eliza? What do you want to know about my brother? His hobby? His favorite food? Or his love story?"

"Uh…uh…actually…I don't know anything about him. And I wonder why he suddenly proposes me as his wife. If I'm going to be his wife, I should know about him, what he likes and what he dislikes, something like that"

"Hmm, yes. That's true…it's impossible to build a relations.h.i.+p without knowing each other. Alright, first of all, I think I should explain why my brother interested in you, sister Eliza"

"Yes, please explain that for me"

"He's attracted with your courage when dealing with Easton third son. You maybe know about my brother previous fiancé sister Elena right? Well, she's also one courage woman as well, my brother and she is attending in Royal Academy in the same year. Although only from a low-rank n.o.ble background, sister Elena always stand up defending those who bullied by people from the high rank in Royal Academy"

"But…I only did that instinctively….because that b.a.s.t.a.r.d crossing my line by saying Henry is money digger. I can't accept my dearest brother labeled like that"

"Mmm…but didn't sister Eliza feel scared with that guy before? To overcome fear and had the resolution to face whatever happens is what courage is, and sister Eliza show it at that moment…and…please to tell my brother that I told you this…actually my brother is a bit shy to the woman"

"Aaaahhh!! No way!!" (Clara and Claire)

"Why can't he? Well, brother Anthony uses most of his time learning swordsmans.h.i.+p and rarely hang out with the opposite gender. He's a bit stiff related with the man-woman relations.h.i.+p. He got related with sister Elena because he saw she help bullied cla.s.smate and he gives her a hand. Their relations.h.i.+p started from there"

"Oh, if I didn't hear it directly from sister Celes, I don't believe that number one handsome guy in Capital city actually like that"

"Hihihi…actually there're many handsome guys in the capital city, but the hardest one to approach is my brother. Maybe that's why he gets such t.i.tle"

"Oooh…a 'tsun' 1) guy…that's cute too"

"Mmm….maybe like that. My brother likes most is courage and just people. He dislikes those who abuse people by using their parent's position just like that Roland guy. If Henry not comes forward and challenge him in the duel, my brother surely will give him some slaps for his rudeness"

"Sir Anthony already comes forward when Roland says there are no educated people in Harvard territory and I love to see how his face change when Sir Anthony suddenly stand up and give Henry support in counting challenge"

"Hahaha….I love that scene too. That sc.u.mbag can't brag anymore about Royal Academy when my brother suddenly stand up from his seat"

These four girls continue to have merrily conversation with a topic that already s.h.i.+fted to Sir Anthony and things about him. This conversation continues until Henry shows up and ask them about the snack that they just eat until none remaining.
