Chapter 550 - 518 Talia’s Drumstick Fell to the Ground
Chapter 550 - 518 Talia’s Drumstick Fell to the Ground
A week flew by in the blink of an eye.
Capital of Hutton, Ichrite.
Boss Cat Restaurant.
According to "Ichrite Food Weekly," this restaurant has a very high rating, with many positive reviews from regular customers.
Because of the high-quality dishes, it has always had a fixed clientele who like to patronize it.
Occasionally, there would be some strange reviews, such as—"Sometimes there’s a beautiful gray-haired young lady in the store. Although she always wears her hair in braids and glasses, the more she does this, the more it makes people think she’s deliberately dressing down to avoid a lot of trouble because she is actually too pretty. She can really eat a lot."
Pranay was reading the reviews.
He was standing behind the bar, holding a magazine in his hand.
Today’s Boss Cat Restaurant had not yet opened for business.
Pranay had wanted to understand the local residents’ opinions of this restaurant, but he didn’t expect to find such a strongly relatable paragraph.
"It’s no wonder she’s our princess, she’s never lost when it comes to beauty,"
Antanas said leisurely, sitting at the bar, sighing.
"No, that’s not right. Talia, as a royal, is extremely disciplined. As far as I recall, she always maintained the strictest dietary principles and training habits and even abstained from sweets. There was one time when I got a box of top-grade sweets, and she was only willing to eat them."
Sinola was still sitting beside Antanas with her eyes closed, tilting her head in confusion.
Only Princess Isatia would goof off like that, always doing whatever she wanted, without any trace of being a princess.
Although the Great Princess lacked talent, her comportment as a princess had always been impeccable. More importantly, since the Second Princess always clung to the Great Princess from a young age, the Great Demon Clan did not take issue with the Second Princess to attack the Great Princess.
"Think about it, after the Second Princess came to the human kingdom, she has become a noble and dignified Duchess. If the Great Princess were to come, wouldn’t she be even more enchanting? It’s impossible for her to degrade herself,"
Antanas responded.
"Indeed,"
The siblings agreed.
Although their colleague, Chef Asina, had told them some of her daily life interacting with Talia,
It seemed like Talia was just lying low, earnestly helping Asina appreciate the food, giving professional guidance, tasting in moderation, and behaving very gracefully.
The three members of the Great Demon Clan chatted leisurely like this.
Suddenly, Antanas thought of something and walked over to one side of the restaurant’s wall on the first floor.
She patted the old wooden wall, then took a paper bag from behind the counter.
"..."
Pranay was at a loss for words.
You want the Cat Boss to evaluate this painting? You must want it dead, right?
Just as Pranay was preparing another reasonable excuse to replace the painting without crushing Antanas’s spirits, the chimes of the Boss Cat Restaurant rang.
A distinctive feature of the Boss Cat Restaurant was its beautifully curved large roof, extending far beyond the walls, with a string of wind chimes hanging under the deep eaves, producing pleasant sounds with every breeze or incoming customer.
The chimes clearly indicated that the restaurant was still closed, meaning someone had returned.
They looked towards the door.
"The three of you, we’re back."
Duchess Hyperion, with Little Black Cat on her head, opened the door and walked in, greeting them.
She smiled and winked at Antanas, as if to tell her the promise had been fulfilled.
All the members of the Great Demon Clan looked toward Duchess Hyperion’s back.
Behind Duchess Hyperion, outside the door, Lanci, who had just gotten off the carriage and was pushing his luggage, was slowly approaching the Boss Cat Restaurant, seemingly arguing with someone.
"I promise you’ll be surprised soon. You have one last chance to guess what I’ve prepared for you."
"Heh, what surprise could you possibly have for me, raspberry jam chocolate mousse?"
"No."
"Vanilla crème brûlée?"
"Also no."
"And you dare say you know me?"
Talia was holding a large box of fried chicken legs, drizzled with honey mustard sauce - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - occasionally picking up a piece and gently putting it in her mouth, and then chewing while bantering back at Lanci.
With the conversation ongoing, they finally stepped into the Boss Cat Restaurant.
And then, they saw the three members of the Great Demon Clan looking at her.
For a moment, Talia’s words abruptly stopped, her eyes widened, and the chicken leg in her hand dropped to the floor.
