Your smile makes your chest beat a little faster.

It was said that strawberries were delicious.

The basically faceless smile of His Majesty was quite precious and pleasant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm glad it was in your mouth."

"It's my first time eating it, but this strawberry ingredient seems to have an excellent aroma, right?

"Yes, I love this sweet and sour scent, too."

Nature and smile come to mind.

Strawberries were and are my favorite.

The charm of strawberries was also conveyed to His Majesty, and I found that my heart aroused.

In contrast to me, His Majesty was staring quietly at us.

"Your Majesty, what happened?

"... no, it's nothing. I was just worried about the strawberries."

Your Majesty's gaze is slightly diverted and poured into a large strawberry filled in front of me.

Apparently, Your Majesty, you were interested in strawberries.

"Here you go. Have some of this, too. I think you prefer raw strawberries to strawberry chiffon."

"Prefer strawberry chiffon? Why did you think that?

"... no, I don't have any particular reason for this..."

I tried to deceive you, but you asked me for an answer silently and gave up.

"I'm sorry if I'm mistaken, Your Majesty thought you didn't like chiffon cake very much. I didn't seem very interested in the chiffon cake I gave you earlier....."

I like chiffon cake, but some people don't like it because the texture is too soft.

His Majesty only gave me a formal impression of the chiffon cake, so I wondered if it didn't suit my taste.

"I thought the chiffon cake for my birthday was delicious. I thought it was delicious....."

Her Majesty's eyes gazed at the strawberry dishes on the table, wandering somewhere.

"I've never been more interested in cooking. I had in mind the practices at the dining hall and the characteristics of each region in each country, but that was all. Meals were obligatory for me and only part of my social life."

Your majesty speaks lightly.

... when you become a royal family, you have more dining opportunities with a variety of opponents.

Having a strong interest in food, and pursuing your liking or dislike or attachment, it gets more troublesome.

Your Majesty may be dividing food from mere duty and life-sustaining behavior to avoid such a situation.

"... that's why I didn't know. I really thought your birthday chiffon cake was delicious. But when I was told which flavor was objectively better than the chiffon cake that Natalie and the others had served, I couldn't say for sure that I was neglectful of food."

"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh, yeah. I apologize for that. After all the theft, I understood that I had to judge the superiority and inferiority of your cake and Natalie's cake and convey my feelings, but I didn't feel confident about my feelings. Because of that, it may have become such an obvious wording and misled me."

I see, that's why it was a letter of appreciation for that formal feeling.

I was relieved that the chiffon cake I had given you seemed delicious.

"That's what you were thinking.... you said today that the birthday chiffon cake was delicious directly, so that's enough for me."

"... is that all you're satisfied with?

I nodded to the question.

It is true that there was a disturbance over the chiffon cake.

But in the first place, I wanted to serve chiffon cake because I wanted His Majesty to have a delicious cake.

"I received a word from His Majesty that it was delicious. I'm so relieved."

"Just one word?

"Yes, Your Majesty felt delicious for a moment. I think that's enough for the kitchen."

Gilbert nodded behind my words.

Each person likes to cook.

Chiffon cakes in particular are a novel and unfamiliar dish for people in this world.

In the meantime, it was a great pleasure for His Majesty to say that it was delicious.

"I don't think you need to think too hard about cooking. Of course, the food served to His Majesty involves a variety of thoughts... I think it would be a great reward for the person who created it simply by saying that the delicious thing is delicious."

"Is delicious food delicious...?"

His Majesty groaned small enough to roll my words over my tongue.
