Gourmet Emperor: Master Of Culinary World 27 Happy Time

"Do you see that?" (Maid A)

"Yeah, Lady Eliza is going out from her room" (Maid B)

"I rarely see Lady Eliza out except for bath and important matter" (Maid C)

"No, I mean how Lady Eliza looks" (Maid A)

"Ah, you mention it I just realize she's different from she usually look" (Maid B)

"Yeah, she looks healthier and prettier?" (Maid C)

"That's it. I heard from her personal maid, young master Henry also visit her yesterday" (Maid A)

"You mean, its young master Henry that makes her looks like this now? (Maid B)

"I hear from kitchen maids, young master Henry makes something special for her in the kitchen yesterday (Maid C)

"Young master Henry is so handsome, gentle, capable and caring person, I'm willing my life taken as long as I can with him just for a night" (Maid A)

"In your dream! He already has a fiancée and 3 personal maids. All of them are beautiful girls" (Maid B)

"Arghh…I so envy for them" (Maid C)

"If I don't know they are brother and sister, I already think they're a couple. Such intimacy, I wish I'm the one who holds his hands" (Maid A)

"Hahaha…we all know young master Henry doting his sisters, especially Lady Eliza" (Maid B)

"I wish I can meet a man that can treat me like young master Henry treats his sister" (Maid C)

"I wish I can meet a man that at least half good as young master Henry" (Maid A)

"Enough with your wishful thinking, stop chatter, we have work to do" (Maid B)

"Please sister, just because you already married, don't just shatter our wish like that" (Maid A & C)

Maid B only can shake her head seeing her colleague att.i.tude. Without utter any words anymore she just drags them to continue their work.

Some of their conversation of course also can be heard by us. I steal a glance at my sister and I see she blus.h.i.+ng while smile happily. I pat her hand that holds my hand lightly and continues our walk to the garden.

The garden located in the backyard of the castle. Although not too big it's well arranged and carefully taken care. According to the gardener, my late mother loves this garden very much, that why this garden still in good keep.

I bring my sister to sit on the stool under the tree in the garden. Birds are chirping on the tree, bring the melodious tone to the garden.

"Henry, would you sit beside me?"

My sister's pointing the empty spot on the stool beside her. I just nodded and take the seat.

"Do you hear what the maids said back there?" my sister ask me the question after I'm sitting beside her.

"Um. I hear some. Why?"

"Thank you. I think those credits should belong to you. Without you, I can't look like this"

"What are you talking sis, we're brother and sister. It's my duty to take care my sister. If you're happy, I'm feeling happy too. If you feeling sad, so do I"

She's looking at me with teary eyes. If her cheek chubbier, I'm sure she will look prettier.

"Henry …you're really inheriting our mother kindness"

"Sister, you also inherit our mother appearance. When you smile at me, I feel it's like our mother is smiling at me"

She's smiling hear my words. Ah, when she smiles I can see the gloominess disappear from her.

"Maybe you don't remember this Henry, but when we were a kid, we always playing here while mother watching us from here with some knitting in her hands"

"I somehow remember that sis, but I remember most is she made a flower crown for you. You look beautiful with that flower crown"

"Flower crown huh? Yes, I remember that. Mother made that for me a couple times"

My sister's eyes look at afar, like trying to dig her childhood memories. While she trying to remember it, I stand by my seat and start to collect some flowers and vines. Do you think I can't make flower crown? Thanks to my little sister Miyu, I can make it. I also can make the ornament from vegetables, make a flower crown is a piece of cake.

"Henry… what are you doing? Do you…make a flower crown?"

My sister seems already return from her dazing and see what I'm doing. I just nodded and continue my doing. First I made a circle from the vines, then inserting the flowers in orderly manners. It's only taken 10 minutes to make a simple flower crown. I show my flower crown to my sister,

"Sister, may I put this on you?"

"Yes, please Henry" she answers it with astonishment tone and lowering her head.

I put that flower crown carefully in her head, thank G.o.d, I already combed her hair before so I can have her head measure, so it fit in her head.

"It's done, you can lift your head sis"

She raises her head slowly like afraid that crown will fall and touch it with her finger carefully like afraid her finger will ruin it.

"How I look like?" she bashfully asks my opinion.

With that flower crown and her white gown, she looks like a girl in a bridal dress. I put my thumbs up as the answer.

"Tee hee, thank you, Henry. I never know you can make this flower crown too"

I'm smiling hearing her praise. Since the sun already climbs up to its peak and the weather getting hot, I ask her to return.

"Sis, it getting hot here, shall we return?"

"Okay Henry"

She holds my hand again and we walk back while holding our hands together. And in our way back we meet again with the maids we meet before.

"Did you see that?" (Maid A)

"We have eyes, of course, we see that" (Maid B)

"Lady Eliza looks beautiful with that flower crown" (Maid C)

"If I don't know they're brother and sister I may be thinking they're bride and groom that just married" (Maid A)

"What are you talking about! Our late madam also made that flower crown when she still alive" (Maid B)

"But that when they still a child, now Madam already pa.s.sed away and they no longer child" (Maid C)

"Lady Eliza didn't wear that when she goes to garden right?" (Maid A)

"Yeah" (Maid B)

"Did she make it when she's in the garden?" (Maid C)

"Or maybe young master Henry made it for her" (Maid A)

"Whoever made it, that's indeed a beautiful flower crown" (Maid B)

"Ugh, I wish I can wear that pretty flower crown when I married someday" (Maid C)

"Me too" (Maid A)

"Enough girls, stop daydreaming and start to work again" (Maid B)

"Please sister, just because you already married, don't just shatter our dream like that" (Maid A & C)

Maid B only can shake her head seeing her colleague att.i.tude. Without saying anything, she just drags them to continue their work.

Some of their conversation of course also can be heard by us. I steal a glance at my sister and I see she's br.i.m.m.i.n.g with happiness in her face.
