Chapter 1427 Enter: Mildred The Little Chef
”What was that, and what was this?”
”Amazing! How about that pointy building? It’s the first time seeing such a structural beauty in the flesh!”
”Wait! Husband, just look at these streets? What sort of time did they use to do this?”
”Ahhh~… Mommy! That thing called a car (forklift) is lifting so many barrels and crates on its own!”
”Wife. Seeing is truly believing. This Baymard truly is a strange world for us village folk.”
The rambles of the crowds were high.
And as usual, some pointed at various shocking sites with dumbfounded expressions, while others just smiled, acting as pros since this wasn’t their first time coming here.
Heh… Newbies!
The port was busy with people and baggage transport vehicles moving in all directions.
All sorts of people had arrived.
But maybe the largest group of arrivees were those gearing up to take the official exams, managing to enter one of Baymard’s public academies.
Their empires sent a majority of them.
Be it law, culinary, weather, arts, or any other open Academies, the number of people coming in was high.
Each year, these academies hosted 2~3 entrance examinations.
Some had failed earlier exams, hoping to pass on this try. While for others, it was also their first time here.
And believe it or not, over the last few years, many people have taken advantage of this matter, actively gathering information to sell to those interested.
Yes!
Smart people in the many memories had begun selling cheat sheets or guidelines they considered as guidelines to the exams.
Some information builds also worked hard in collecting this information too.
And for a good price, they would be more than happy to sell them.
What? You say it’s a ripoff?
Then go to the exams without a cheat!
Hmph!
They also compiled how the examinations over the years had been, trying to point many in the right direction.
And in truth, their guidelines were all smart and good.
However, those who relied on this wholly would soon realize the error of their ways.
Some failed the last exams, noticing that they focused too much on this ‘cheat,’ not considering the whole picture.
The Baymardian academies were already very prestigious in the hearts of many.
So what sort of entrance examination would be befitting of its status, if not one that could dive into all unknown factors?
The exams were always random, out of nowhere, and required one to think of all factors pertaining to a matter.
Nonetheless, the answer was always relatively simple, right under their noses!
This was what made many crazy!
.
One by one, the many ships arrived from the many parts of the treaty-signed empires.
Some from Romain and some from Pyno.
And on one of those ships were the Teriquen Royal Platoons all here to escort his majesty and her highness, Princess Mildred.
The ship had docked. And as usual, those who stayed at the highest V.I.P cabins would be escorted out first.
Mildred stepped onto the docks, looking around with cute, widened eyes.
Astar was pleased, seeing her happy.
He puffed his chest and toon out the lollipop in his mouth proudly.
”You see! I told you my older brother’s territory is powerful!”
As if talking about himself, Astar was so proud that one would think he was Landon himself.
”Amazing!” Mildred clapped ecstatically,
Yes! This was her idols’ territory!
Just look at how good it looks?
Landon, the genius and creator behind the many delicious goods she had been eating, was undoubtedly her idol!
(*∆*)
Very quickly, she shook Astar. “No! No! No! I must be prepared!… How long before we reach the palace?”
Erm…
Astar scratched his head in confusion.
He never recalled or noticed how long the journey was.
But wait… He remembered now.
”It’s 10 bags of hot flaming Doritos away! That’s how far it is!”
”Really? What about drinks?” Did he factor this in too?
”Oh yeah… 5 small cans of sprite or fruitopia is my usual choice. Blah, blah, blah, blah~.”
[The guards]: (-_-)
The guards almost fell to their knees listening to these 2 foodies calculate time based on what they are.
’Your majesty, don’t you know that your eating is abnormal? More than that, who can eat 10 big bags of hot spicy Doritos all at once? And on top of that, you still drank 5 cans of drinks too? What sort of belly do you have? If you want to know how long, then why don’t you just ask?’
Sigh…
The guards resigned themselves to their fates, following Astar and Mildred past Coastal Port security.
And soon, they were sent off to the palace.
.
Vmmmm~
Landon and Lucy stared at the incoming stream of vehicles.
At the moment, everyone else, including children, were busy.
Thus, they were the only ones here to welcome this entourage, as well as a few Baymardian representatives.
How could these 2 empires miss a chance to speed up some underlying businesses and get things done?
The crafty government officials from both Baymard and Terique were all but ready to get to work!
Of course over the years, many become friends with each other
So it was more or less like a friendship reunion.
Bubuum. Bubuum.
Mildred stepped out of the vehicle, feeling her heart pounding too loudly.
Her idol was standing right before her!
Luckily, she knew sister Lucy.
”Ahh~… My baby Mildred. You’re finally here!”
If Lucy had wings, she would’ve flapped towards Mildred in a heartbeat.
The first time she and the girls met her in Terique, all of them fell in love with this little chef.
She was just too cute, with very clean eyes, having no ulterior motives.
The only time her eyes would change was when food was involved.
What’s more, she was so cute, being a little squishy Loli.
Ahhh~…
She just wanted to hug her to death!
