Chapter 221 – Day 33 – The Princess’ Gift?
“Oh my God… Venus, are you going to do your own makeup?”
Arisa, who dropped the glass she was holding in surprise, waved her fingers before it broke and caught it with her magic her.
Seeing Arisa’s surprised expression, Princess Venus couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.
“What, what are you so surprised about, Arisa…!”
“Isn’t it because you suddenly talk about cosmetics?! I don’t think of you? Even at the academy, I heard that Haru fought Ceres-san and could do it all by herself…”
“T-don’t tell me then! I just did a common stupid thing during puberty…”
When the princess blushed and said a word, Arisa sighed and laughed.
After accidentally staying for a few days at the imperial palace, she was thinking of naturally participating in the upcoming Imperial Council anyway.
So, she was staying at the imperial palace, and she was doing the work she had to do as the owner of the Mage Tower through her magic her, so she had no problem.
“Anyway… I seriously need your strength and knowledge, so please help me. Arisa.”
Arisa couldn’t help it when the princess looked at her seriously as she sat on her chair with her ass she pressed against her.
She even knew that she was her one and only friend her, so she nodded her head once, intending to listen to her seriously.
“You mean you’re gathering information because you want to give Ceres a birthday present even if it’s late, right?”
“Yeah, isn’t Ceres a beautiful woman? I checked her room and she has quite a lot of cosmetics! But she must have things that cannot be bought with a servant’s salary.”
“You mean Venus wants to give it to you as a gift? You always wear makeup anyway, right?”
At Arisa’s question, Ceres raised her nose and nodded happily. Arisa could not help but laugh at her cute yet slightly pitiful appearance of her.
“Venus… Her willingness to give her cosmetics as a gift is a bit admirable…”
“…But?”
“Do you know what to buy? Cosmetics are very delicate things. The same cosmetics can give out completely different colors depending on the person who uses it.”
“…Eh?”
“Haha, you really don’t know anything about makeup…”
Arisa let out a deep sigh, grabbed the princess by the shoulders her with her two hands, and led her to her dressing table her in her own room.
Since the princess’ face was already made up, Arisa immediately grabbed the back of her hand and dabbed her with pure white powder.
“Compare the back of your hand with the back of mine. Does it feel different?”
“Hmm… Mine looks whiter.”
“Because Venus has good skin. Maybe it’s because she’s from the royal family, right? Anyway, since people have different basic skin colors, even the same cosmetics can be a burden in some cases.”
“That… No way, if it’s not the cosmetics you normally use, it’s going to be garbage…”
“To be cruel, there are cases where it just becomes a heavy and expensive burden. Especially, if it’s expensive cosmetics, there’s a high possibility. I don’t know if it’s perfume… Mr. Ceres, you don’t use perfume.”
Hearing all of Arisa’s serious advice to her, the princess wiped the sweat from her forehead with one blow.
‘Th… I almost gave you trash…’
After 10 years, he came to his senses her and boasted that he would take good care of him, so the gift he gives is useless garbage?
The princess could not even imagine how greatly Ceres would be disappointed.
“Yeah, but why don’t you wear perfume? Sniff sniff, Arisa and I don’t wear perfume either.”
“You idiot… Mr. Ceres has a lower status than us. You don’t know if it stinks, but would you like to get attention by wearing a strong-smelling cologne?”
“Ah… Ah, yes… There was such a manner.”
Ceres was quite thorough about defending this ‘status’.
Since the person she served in the first place was Princess Venus, she was acting more thoroughly.
“Hmm… Then Arisa, is it better to stop thinking about giving cosmetics? But something… I feel like they’re taking care of essentials for women…”
“I understand Venus’ feelings of her, but it’s better than giving her something she does n’t know much about and turning it into a lump of her baggage. And.”
Arisa gently grabbed the princess’s cheek and patted her gently.
“In the end, anyone can buy cosmetics as long as they have money. And Mr. Ceres must have enough money? I’ve been working by your side for several years. I have no family to support and no younger siblings to take care of. How many gold coins I received by myself… Cosmetics As for things like that, if you put your mind to it, you can just live with it.”
“Ugh…”
“Why don’t you change your mind to a gift that can express your feelings rather than something someone sells? Of course, just in case, it would be nice to prepare the underwear or private clothes you mentioned. But, as expected, a gift…”
Arisa smiled and cupped her princess’ shoulders with both of her hands.
“The heart matters.”
“Is it true? Expensive isn’t good?”
“Pufuhip…! There are people who think that as much as they are expensive, they have a lot of heart… But aren’t there any expensive things for the princess of our empire?”
“Well, that’s true… Hmm… It’s a gift from my heart…”
“There must be a simple cooking.”
Arisa gave the princess a slap on the back and smiled.
“Why don’t you make a cake or a delicious dish yourself and give it as a gift? Don’t overdo it to make it incredibly delicious. Neither do I, and none of us can beat Mr. Ceres’ cooking skills.”
“Yo… Cooking? Hmm… That kind of thing… Is not something you can eat anywhere. Even now, in the first place, if you ask the chef…”
“Venus, the cake the imperial princess made to celebrate her birthday her, where on earth do you think you could buy it and eat it? It’s the only one in the world.”
“Ahhh!!”
At Arisa’s words her, the princess finally realized what a fine gift it was and stood up.
“Yes! Arisa! Exactly as you said! Underwear and private clothes!! Cosmetics are common items that can be obtained anywhere with money! Hmmmm! But! The dishes I make are only made by me!”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
Haha! As long as I put my heart into congratulating Ceres’ birthday from the bottom of my heart! It would be a great gift!!! Thank you! Thank you! Arisa! Haha! I can’t do it today, but I’ll definitely give you a prize next time!”
Haha! With a smile, the princess went out of Arisa’s room.
“Yeah yeah~ Later on a safe day… Oh, he’s gone… Phew… Now I can rest… Wait…”
Arisa smiled contentedly and bit her lip lightly at her belated anxiety in her.
“…Did Venus know how to cook…?”
* * *
“…Arisa So…”
“Venus, what is this?”
“Cake…”
“Where do you look at this, it’s a cake?! It’s a coal!”
Entering her messy kitchen, Arisa couldn’t keep her mouth shut at the wonderful scenery unfolding before her eyes her.
The color of the wallpaper had changed, and the smell of oil was so strong that it had to be ventilated with magic.
“…Sorry, Countess Arisa.”
“Oh, no. Vesta-san didn’t do anything wrong. How can I stop Venus from doing something strange?”
“What a strange thing! I just cooked as written in the recipe!”
The princess screamed with disgruntled eyes, but no one in this place saw the black solid material in front of her and thought it was a cake.
“Venus… I can see why you never cooked at the academy.”
“That, that! To the end! Ceres said it would be dangerous for me to use a knife…!”
“You… Can’t even put an egg on the frying pan?”
“..Ugh…!”
Biting her lip, the princess grabbed a nearby egg and showed it to Arisa.
“Can’t I do that?!”
“Then try it, or do you think you can’t?”
“I…! You’re ignoring me too much! Even Vesta said that baking is a very difficult job in the first place-“
—Kwajik
In an instant, the egg went to pieces in my hands. The whites and yolks dripped down my fingers like juice, and it was only natural that the powdered shells were added.
“…Haa, Ms. Vesta. Could it be that you made a cake this way?”
“My negligence is coming.”
Arisa pressed her face with both hands as Vesta bowed and apologized.
It seemed like you were cooking hard in the kitchen of the annex for about two hours. How well did you make it? I came to check and this was the situation.
‘… Seriously, it’s a relief that I prepared underwear and private clothes separately… Cooking will never give me a gift…’
Will I die if I eat this? Arisa sighed and threw the hazardous material from her bowl into her trash can.
“My cake…!”
“This isn’t a cake! Venus! Ha… You… You… Don’t remember when you were making an apple pie?”
“Apple…? Pie…?”
“Didn’t you make it during bridal class… At the academy? Wait, you can’t…”
When Arisa narrowed her eyes, the princess smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of her head.
Haha, that’s just… Ceres…”
“…Oh my god… What kind of cake is a cake on such a subject! I wonder if I can make it even if I just listened to the academy class…”
Arisa sighed openly and loudly.
“Cake is absolutely impossible. Give it up, do you know it’s already dinnertime? Ceres and Hedone will be back at night. Can you cook something for the birthday party by then?”
“Uh, can’t we do something?”
“Somewhere in cooking… I’m going crazy.”
Arisa sighs and checks the state of her kitchen her.
Horrible, nothing like this came to mind except to say it was hopeless.
“Rather… Why don’t you promise to have sex tonight? Honestly, Ceres would think that would be a nice present too? Hedone would agree.”
“Three, sex!! It’s absolutely a gift…! Ha, can’t you do it?! It’s not like you’re rubbing your shoulders! Sex is done! Even if you do, I’ll take care of it later! Me properly! Memorable! “I want to give you a present!”
Arisa let out a sigh as the princess blushed and looked at the remaining cooking ingredients. There’s no way the imperial palace’s food material warehouse would go bankrupt that easily.
“…I can make something like steak or pasta somehow. Let’s think of something like a cream suit. It’s not fancy food, but rather, there will be a huge bonus in that you made it.”
“Ugh…”
Not being interested in cooking was inevitable.
Because Ceres did it all. Even the makeup was the same, the princess didn’t know much about fashion in the first place.
She got a zero in her bridal class, she was a natural princess, but she never cared about it until now. Because she had no intention of marrying…
“Princess. If it’s Ceres, no matter what dish she prepares, she will be happy to hear that the princess made it herself.”
“Yeah, but that’s the case. Vesta, Arisa… After 10 years, I… Isn’t it a late birthday party after I took care of it…”
The princess muttered as she touched her flour-stained hands to her.
“…I want to make you at least a birthday cake. Ceres makes it every year…”
She made it this year too. Ceres did it as if it were natural. It is a natural feeling for a person to want to give back as much as she received.
Neither Arisa nor Vesta were unaware of that feeling.
“Really… Who do you resemble so stubborn? They say you can never make it…”
“The princess has a knack for making people in trouble.”
The two women sighed deeply and began putting on their aprons.
“Arisa?”
“I do baking often, so I’ll tell you for sure. Got it? In fact, baking can never fail if you follow the instructions perfectly. It’s just like alchemy.”
As she spoke and waved her finger, the ingredients and tools needed to make a cake, starting with flour, eggs, milk, whipped cream, mixing bowl, and so on, began to appear in front of my eyes.
“I’ll look at it from the side and tell you how to accurately measure and adjust the force. Just do what I tell you to do. All right? Don’t do weird tricks for nothing! Baking is all about keeping the exact amount no matter who makes it!”
“Princess, I’ll trim and put the ingredients to be used for cooking. It’s about peeling potatoes and trimming carrots. This is something Ceres often asks for from his young attendants her.”
The two women smile and help her princess.
Never cook for me
‘Cook made by the princess herself’
I do my best to help keep this fact, but I do not do everything directly.
But that was enough. The princess smiled and nodded her head, then grabbed the sleeve of the dress that was covering her wrist and pulled it over her.
“Haha! You guys are helping me, how could I fail! I won’t be stubborn at all right now!! Feel free to let me know!”
Seeing that majestic appearance as she spread her breasts and spoke, Arisa pinched her princess’ buttocks with a wry smile on her face.
“Then, wash your hands properly. Princess Venus!”
Two hours until Ceres returns to the imperial palace.
The princess decided to try desperately to finish her cake and set the table for her birthday party her.
