Chapter 75: 75: Pizza?
"But..." Eden added "I feel he might have some sort of powers that we don’t know yet"
"Maybe"
"But the underlining factor is that he hates the wizard of EL because it was because of him that Mages were banned and all killed off . I wonder how he was able to survive the massacre though" Eden shrugged.
"But his aim is to meet the Emperor to reinstate the position of mages. That is, after he had successfully killed the problem. The wizard of EL"
Lenny nodded "So what are you going to bribe him with?"
Eden thought "Probably helping him to reinstate his position? Or maybe promising him to help him unlock his powers or something?"
"But you don’t have any powers"
"It’s still hidden" Eden defended.
"Till you meet him I guess. What of the last guy. The marquis guy?"
Eden thought "And For The Grand Marquis, I think he’s the most mysterious. We don’t know the real reason he wanted to meet the Emperor..."
Lenny sighed.
Eden said "He just said he wishes to have a chat with the Emperor. The book didn’t tell us anything yet. I guess it’s going to be some sort of epic plot revelation later in the book or something?"
Lenny rolled his eyes "Gosh. That’s not helping matters. How then are you going to get him?"
Eden thought "I guess I’ll stick to my own pattern. Playing the seduction game. I’ll have to seduce him to like me"
"How do you know he’s gay?"
"I don’t know. But from what I’ve observed, he doesn’t look too straight"
Lenny nodded "I guess. No straight guy would shamelessly flirt with you like that. It’s extreme" Lenny added "He might be bi I guess"
"We’ll just have to find out" Eden shrugged.
"So.. are you confident about it?" Lenny asked him about his plan.
"Even if I’m not. It’s still something I have to do" Eden said.
"The female lead might likely be there. What if she steals the spotlight?" Lenny asked.
"I won’t let her" Eden said "I’ll make sure I steal it"
Lenny nodded "Good luck then. Remember to call me when you need me"
Eden smiled, stroking his head "Sure thing. You’ve been such a help indeed’
"I’ll probably be of more help when you get your powers back. Then I’ll be more versatile"
Eden sighed "I also want to get it back. Maybe then I won’t have to rely on these male leads to survive"
They both stared into thin air, letting out a loud sigh.
It truly wasn’t easy on Eden’s side. He certainly preferred his boring bar life than this frustrating chaotic ride.
Who wouldn’t??
**********
There were only a few days left for the Haunting Events.
Preparations were already in full bloom. And Eden was the person in charge of the preparation.
It happened that Elvis had already done most of the external preparations already. Like making preparations for the haunting venue and tools, sending out invitations and all Involved.
He had done most of the work and the only few left was preparations to be made in the palace. Like the Grand meal to be served in the Palace to the Men who would be participating in the Palace..
They would all gather at the palace and have a meal. Then followed by some speech from the King and some traditional gestures before they’d set off for the event.
Eden was left to prepare the little part left.
He figured Elvis left him to even handle the preparation because there was only a few left. If there was still much, the workaholic Elvis wouldn’t even dare leave him to do it.
And Eden was also glad there was small left.
He followed instructions from Elvis while he made preparations for the decorations and all. He set up everything as the person in charge, instructing the servants who were under his command.
King Edward and Queen Lea were baffled at the fact that he was in charge. But they didn’t dare question him. They left him.
And so Eden continued the preparations till the D-day. The day of the Haunting event. And the day the young men participating in the event were arriving at the palace.
*********
Eden had gotten up early that morning. He was in the Royal kitchen staring at the cooks waiting for his order..
The cooks were getting ready while he stared with both hands on his waist. Lenny was beside him.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I want to try something" Eden randomly said.
Lenny stared at him "What chaos do you wish to try?"
Eden smiled "It’s not chaos. It’s actually something I’ve seen in transmigration dramas. I want to see how it works"
"What?"
"In those dramas, the main character always ends up introducing the characters in the world to a modern day concept or something. Like through meals or something"
Lenny blinked "So you want to cook a modern meal??"
Eden smiled with a wink "Exactly"
"How’s that possible? It’s not the 21st century or anything. How the hell do you plan on doing that??"
"I just need to have them get the ingredients. And then I can prepare it" he looked around "It’s the Royal family, so I doubt they don’t have everything needed"
"What do you plan on cooking?"
Eden thought "Pizza" and he smiled.
Lenny blinked "How the hell do you... Plan on doing that?"
Eden shrugged "I was actually craving some pizza" He had a hand over his stomach "I haven’t had it for long since I came here. So I am craving it"
Eden continued "So I wanted to grab this opportunity as the cook and prepare it. And in a grand quantity so everyone can have a taste. You know what they say, you can get to people through their stomach. So maybe if they enjoy this new meal, these young men won’t want to kill me?"
Lenny blinked "And what makes you think that they won’t want to kill you because of a meal??"
