Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)-Chapter 160 Breakfast In Bed For You (II).

Chapter 71: Breakfast in bed for you (II).

Kein's POV

With my apron on, and tying my hair up into a ponytail I was ready to make some bed and breakfast for my girlfriend. I was determined on making her first wake up during doing sex would be a lovely one!

"Need any help with anything, milady?"

The chef asks me and I think, I mean is there any-

Oh!

"Actually if it's no trouble, do you have any vegetarian meals for breakfast? The girl I brought over isn't allowed to have any meat." I asked since I know Rose isn't allowed to eat meat due to her light church religion and I respect that. I should research more if there's any other alternative recipes I could master too.

Chef raises his eyebrows and puts a hand under his chin thinking. "You brought a vegetarian with you." He goes on to hold down his beard, looking like he's got all the wisdom in the world.

"Hmm... This feels like it's happened before when you were just a wee youngster now is it? You brought some girl from the church, ain't that right?"

I blinked in surprise. He remembered that? If I remember correctly Rose only came about five times in the estate.

"H-How good is your memory?"

"Milady, all the people here like meat. Your lady stands out- I have never made a vegetarian dish in years until she came." He laughs crossing his arms together before nudging my side. "I see you like em vegetarians. No meat, all plant based diet I see... You know your type."

"You know… vegetable girls?"

I almost choked on my own saliva.

"Chef the way you say it, it sounds really..." I covered half of my face in embarrassment because the chef here was really not letting me go with all the teasing of me bringing a lover- who's a vegetarian over at the estate. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

What's wrong with being vegetarian?!

"It's alright milady, no shame in liking a vegetarian." (Chef) pats my back as if to console me and begin walking around the cupboards where the other book recipes were kept. I was doing a whole what the fuck face before snapping back to whatever chef was going through.

"When you brought your little date all those years ago, you asked to serve a vegetarian meal."

He skims all through the savory meals and finds a really dusty one with the cover being covered in dust. "I thought you were crazy for bringing that woman here, but I took the challenge and made her a dish that came outta this cookbook."

Chef takes a towel and wipes all the other dust before giving it to me. "It's actually decent, if you need breakfast you could also use fruits, dairy and egg." For each ingredient he tells me a finger went up.

"Oh and I believe there is a new diet going around, it's called veganism. Quite similar yet different from vegetarian." (Chef) explains and my ears perked up hearing a word that I thought I'd never hear ever again.

A vegan diet would exclude all the meat and animal products there is, such as dairy and eggs. You'll literally be going only to plants based on this. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Where vegetarian diet excludes only meat, poultry, fish and seafood.

It will also depend on the person on what kind of diet they should or will follow.

"Where did you hear that chef?" I asked Chef, who tried to think.

"It's rather becoming a popular trend amongst the nobility after the [Puronian] hero went around telling a story about some... vegan teacher?" (Chef) explains on who was the perpetrator for this trend.

I smacked my face knowing who the culprit was for this ongoing trend.

Avery Williams!

Why did you even tell some dead story from your time?! I've heard of the vegan... teacher but jeez! I really need to give her some talking right after this.

"I don't understand the nobles- meat is exclusive to the nobility. Now after hearing some silly story from a hero, the nobility are hogging vegetables? The tables are turning milady, you do not want to know how much potatoes cost now." (Chef) shivered at the memory of the cost of those lovely root vegetables.

It seems that the price stakes for vegetables will skyrocket and the meat's will grow lower. "There there, chef. For now let's go back to work and make breakfast right?"

Chef stopped contemplating on vegetable prices and nodded. He takes the knife in his hand and spins it around. For me it looks honestly cool but I don't feel safe literally being right beside him. "Let's get cooking, milady."

"Yes, let's."

I took the vegetarian cookbook in my hands and opened it, seeing page after page if there's any meal I can do that's simple enough but complex to impress the princess?

"Eggs Benedict?"

However it's the recipe for the vegetarian version. Oh! I'll be needing a muffin for this one but I guess I'll make do with the bread we have here.

I'll need to make the sauce, adding egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and some other spices. I should be able to blend them until the mixture is frothy, creamy and light yellow in color.

I followed the instructions and made sure to boil some poached eggs before cooking the other vegetables that I'll be able to put on top of it. The vegetables would be put over a skillet being drizzled in olive oil and then put onto the oven to cook for a few minutes.

Chef raises one of his eyebrows watching me cook.

"I never knew you can cook, milady but then again this is one of the few rare times I can see you in the kitchen." He looked at the recipe name and gasped. "This kind of level of a recipe would take a professional to make it into a perfect dish! Even I will be pulling my hair over how stressful this is!" (Chef) points to the Eggs Benedict recipe to where I laughed a little nervously. I'm not even sure if it'll turn out how it's like in the book.

"Haha... I don't think... I'll be able to perfect this but I've only gotten this far because I memorized the instructions and just followed it." I told him while I was busy watching the egg boil to cook.

Once I knew that the poached egg was ready, I took it and gently placed it onto a plate.

"Whew..." I sighed in relief seeing that the poached egg didn't break. In the end I could only make one.

I'll let Rose have the good poached egg while I'll whip up a side of scrambled egg. Cooking them will be easy, crack open a few eggs, put in a pinch of salt and then mix.

Putting oil over a heated pan I waited for a few seconds before pouring it all in. I was actually humming... I feel like a decent housewife on her way to please her love with this.

"Alright now to assemble my eggs benedicts."

I toasted the bread, blended the hollandaise sauce and then with err... it seems that I don't have sliced avocado so I used lettuce as a replacement, then the other vegetable I cooked under the oven and then finally the poached egg.

"Dazzling presentation, milady. The poached egg, beautiful- alternatives use of ingredients were smart!" He goes on to nod and appreciate my hard work. Cooking is really not something to be underestimated on the workload and the amount of focus you have to put in it.

"Someone cooking while thinking of them would make this dish ten times more delicious I tell you, were your mystery guest over your mind while you were cooking? Eh~?" (Chef) was nudging my sides again and I nudged him back.

At this point he felt like a goofy uncle trying his utmost best to embarrass me man.

"Yeah, yeah- I'll go take a wooden tray and give it to my guest." I rolled my eyes feeling a little happy of my work cooking there bearing fruit. Speaking of which, I took some of the pre-made juice that they had and some ice.

With a hot meal in my hands, I was careful not to trip or anything like that.

...

I found my way back to my room and saw that the door was already open- I quickly felt uneasy and looked around to see if there were other servants around.

What the heck? I told all the servants to not go in!

Or maybe some of them never got the word?!

Carefully- I pushed the door and saw the most- very awkward scene I've ever been in. Rose was there covering herself in the blanket that I got her in while patting Vivienne happily trying to take her attention to her and not at the canvas to which- we still have her painting drying and it's her nude painting!

Oh no... the experience of having your kid walk in on you after doing it.

Vivienne was just smiling innocently while she tried to snuggle up with Rose. The princess being the big soft mother bear that she was, she takes the little girl to sit down by her side but Rose makes sure that she's stuck in a cocoon using those blankets.

"Um... Hello, you two?"

I walked over slowly to the two and I was met with a running little Vivienne hugging my leg. Her small hands grabbed the silk of my pants and pulled so suddenly but not enough to pull it down completely.

"Omph!"

I balanced the tray in my hands, breathing a sigh of relief that nothing important was spilled.

"Mama! Hehehe!" she yells out before looking up at me, I looked down on her and looked at Rose who was awkwardly shifting her blankets to cover her front. Ah right- she needed to change.

I coughed while setting the breakfast tray over to the table in front of the sofa and smiled at Vivienne who was really excited to see me. "Vivienne why don't we- well... play the waiting game outside mama's room and count to one hundred?"

"One... hundred?" she stares at me looking so gullible and I was thankful she wasn't that smart yet to figure out I'm tricking her.

"Yeah it's a fun game and when we're done counting we can eat all of whatever mama made okay?" I pointed at the eggs benedicts on the tray and saw all the scrumptious food of course she agreed to play.

"Mama... count we go?" (Vivienne) takes my hand and drags me over by the door. I obliged to play and nodded trying to look excited that I'll be using my time to count one to one hundred. "Mm! Let's go count now shall we?"

I turned back to Rose quickly and said in a loud whisper.

"I hope one hundred seconds is enough for you to get changed, princess!"

Rose heard what I said and immediately she started giggling. "One hundred seconds would be more than enough to pin you down too." she lets out her tongue before giving me a sly little wink.

Ugh this little flirt!

While Vivienne was dragging me out, I felt my ears turning a little red so I yelled in a whisper again before closing the door on her. "You dummy! Not in front of the kid!"

Bam!

When the door closed, Vivienne counted one to ten but then asked what was the number after ten. Well… guess I can teach her that while Rose is out grabbing her clothes.
