'Wow, I am so scared. No, don't hurt me. Please I am begging you.' I replied sarcastically.
'...' Agatha glared at me. Feeling her gaze I acted all frightened, shook, and then smirked at her.
"You two, what are you guys talking about with your eyes? Agatha, what is it?" Aba who was left out of the conversation noticed the little charade between me and Agatha, curious she could not help but ask what was going on.
"Nothing princess, it is almost time for lunch. So, what do you want for lunch?" Agatha with her quick presence of mind immediately switched the topic to lunch.
"Mmh, I am hungry, but nothing here tastes good. I miss the palace's food." Eating outside for a night, Aba already hated the food of the third-rate city so much so that she missed the routine bland and tasteless food back home, cooked by card emperor realm chiefs with SS-Rank cooking occupation skill cards.
"Princess, how about I cook for you." Agatha as the escort of Aba was always prepared and cooking occupational cards was a must.
"Really, great." Aba cheered hearing that she would not have to eat the flavorless food from the restaurants of the third-rate city.
"While you are at it, why don't you prepare food for the rest of us too? I for one would like to taste the cooking of a Semi-demigod card apprentice," I asked Agatha since she is cooking for Aba anyway, she could prepare extra for the rest of us too.
"Watch it, Master Wyatt. Don't test my patience." Agatha warned me, asking me to not test her just because I was backed by the southern emperor.
"What? Is it because your cooking is bad or because your ego as a semi-demigod doesn't allow you to cook for a bunch of low-realm card apprentices from a third-rate city." I asked Agatha trying to push her buttons to the max because I knew she would endure it, she had to, for Aba.
"Yes, I am. When you reach the demigod realm before me, you can ask me to cook for you. Until then pipe down and remember that you will not be the Southern emperor's favorite toy forever. " Agatha taunted me by calling me Anna's boy toy.
"Agatha, please cook for everyone. I don't want them staring and drooling while I eat." Aba suddenly inserted herself into Agatha and my argument.
"Okay, princess if you say so." Agatha did not think twice and immediately agreed to Aba's request even though it went against what she said earlier.
"Forget it, nobody here wants to eat the food you prepared. We will order something online." I said provoking Agatha, it was fun to watch, how Agatha had the strength to crush me but had to hold back because she did not want to turn the relationship between the southern royal family and Demigod Windsor sour.
"Wyatt! Don't be respectful towards our guests. I am sorry, madam Agatha. It would be an honor for us to taste the food you prepared." saying that Susan turned to the three from Fine Gold and asked, "Right girls?"
"Y-yes, your highness it would be our honor to eat the food you prepared."
"Yes"
"Yes, yes."
At first, Diana and Cindy, even Jaya hesitated because they did not want to contradict their boss but seeing Susan's gentle yet persuasive smile and feeling the Semi-demigods glare they hurriedly agreed with Susan's opinion. But soon awakening from their stupor they looked at their boss for mercy.
"Tsk" I clicked my tongue at the three from Fine Gold for their awesome display of loyalty. Then turning to look at Agatha I smirked and said, "These two aren't guests, they are hostages. So the regular guest rules don't apply to them."
"Wyatt, why are you being so hostile towards us? What have we done to you?" Aba complained and asked why was I so hostile towards them. The answer was obvious, because of their meddling ass I had to make new plans for Ronnie and I did not like the new plan one bit but it was the safest bet.
"Ask Agatha, she knows." I could not just tell Aba what made me dissatisfied with them, that was not how the real world worked. So, I did anything that a regular person would do to throw the blame back at blamer.
"Princess, don't listen to him. He is a sour puss, they are grumpy about everything. People like him are common out here, we should learn to ignore them." Agatha advised Aba.
"Okay, then. Agatha, I want soup and salad for lunch. As for the rest of them, you decide." Aba knew asking Agatha to cook for everyone was too much, so she didn't force her to take separate orders for the rest of the people.
"Alright, then. We are having Soup and Salad for lunch."Agatha announced that she would be preparing soup and salad for everyone. Nobody minded that Agatha made a unilateral decision about what they were having for lunch, they felt they were blessed enough to have a semi-demigod cook for them, so they didn't mind Agatha deciding their lunch for them. Instead, they were looking forward to it.
'Agatha, good save, earlier. But remember you owe me one. I will save it for later.' I sent it to Agatha. Earlier, she easily diverted the topic because I assisted her, and she owed me a favor for keeping my mouth shut about the Demigod Windsor asking Agatha to hold back and let Aba go through hardship.
'Okay, but remember it is only valid if you keep your mouth shut.' Agatha replied as she headed to the kitchen.
'I know.' I replied back to Agatha. I did not know what to ask her in return for keeping the little secret from Ada so I decided to let Agatha owe me a favor. I have a lot of enemies, it may come in handy someday.
