"Mmm..." He chewed on it, feeling the burnt taste blasting inside his mouth before some sweetness followed. It was crispy alright, a little too crispy if he had to say.
"That was good, you should really cook more cookies for me, Fiora." Orion smiled and said to Fiora, trying his best not to make a cringy face due to the taste.
Fiora’s eyes watered a little, seeing Orion actually eating her cookies and not scolding her for them.
Rina raised an eyebrow in suspicion, looking towards the cookies with surprise, ’Are they really that good?’
She couldn’t believe it, but she also couldn’t just ask for a cookie from her master’s plate.
Orion noticed her face and an evil grin spread on his face, "Here, Rina, try this cookie. They are really good." He stood up and picked up one of the worst cookies from the plate and handed it to Rina.
She suspiciously took the cookie and looked at it all over. At the same time, Orion walked towards Fiora and petted her head, distracting her from looking at Rina’s reaction.
"Come on, Rina. What are you scared of? Didn’t I also take it just now?" Orion smiled and blocked Fiora’s entire vision as he saw Rina eating it.
Just as Rina took one bite of the cookie, her eyes opened wide as she nearly coughed out all the food she had eaten since the morning. But looking at Orion’s smile, she quickly swallowed all the cookies that she had eaten before quickly picking up a jug of water and chugging it down.
"Haa... it was... really... good..." She panted with eyes open and followed along with Orion’s words while looking at him with an accusing gaze.
He moved towards the side after he stopped patting Fiora, who opened her eyes in disappointment at having his hand removed. She looked towards Rina, who had composed herself by now.
"W-was it really good?" she nervously asked.
"Yes, of course. If you don’t believe me, just look at Master. He will finish the entire plate alone to prove this to you." Her mind turned as she quickly replied before looking at Orion with a mischievous smirk.
Orion’s lips twitched, looking at her grin; he wanted nothing more than to beat her up right now. But turning around to look at Fiora’s hopeful gaze, he took a deep breath and nodded his head.
"Of course, Rina will help me along so you won’t say I’m lying." He quickly dragged her down with him.
Rina’s finger twitched—she didn’t want to eat those god-awful cookies again. Neither of them had ever gotten any training in the kitchen since there were specialized chefs for the mansion.
But who knows where Fiora got the mood to try making something?
Orion grabbed Rina’s hand and forced her to sit down with him on the bed. And that scared her so much that she jumped up from the bed before bowing quickly towards him, "How can I dare to sit in the same place as Master?"
"Just sit here, since when did you become so upright?" He looked at her from the corner of his eye and pointed in front of him.
Rina hesitated. From a young age, Helena had taught her the proper manners of a maid. And among them was that she shouldn’t sit at the same level as her master/mistress.
And now Orion was asking her to sit down in front of him, she couldn’t help but hesitate.
Orion looked at her and realized why she was hesitating—after all, this was common in this world. Which noble would let a mere servant sit on the same level as them?
Orion turned towards Fiora, "Do I have to repeat myself?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
