Because there were no concept of electricity in this world, all of the cooking tools were made by using [ Flame Stone ] which can generate fire and heat.

Like a modern gas stove, there was also [ Mana Stone ] that store enormous amount of mana attached to it which help regulate the amount of mana given to the [ Flame Stone ] by turning it clockwise. By doing these, one can control how strong the fire was used.

[ Mana Stone ] can store the mana poured by the user.

Of course, only wealthy people can afford such luxury.

When Lyle first saw it, he immediately guessed that this was probably made by someone like him who was either reincarnated or transported in this world.

However, when he asked Moori about it, she said that it was made a

long time ago and was still a famous magic tool even now.

--------------------------

Currently, Moori was looking at Lyle and was captivated by his cooking skills.

He prepared the meat in turns for the shares of three people currently present. Then, he cut a line on the tendon with a knife and mix salt and pepper in it.

After that, he put oil in the frying pan, stir it, and put sliced garlic inside the oil to let it fry as small dishes.

While listening to the sound of oil, he then tossed a pan of stir fried vegetables with one hand, as he held a ladle with his other hand to stir a pot of soup.

Occasionally he will glanced at the other pot which was cooking rice.

Moori was looking at Lyle's every move and was very envious. How can she and Lyle grew up under the same sky, but he was a natural

born genius and didn’t struggle with anything even though he was

still very young.

On the other hand she struggled with everything. ~> _

She once studied hard in the Academy whilst he excelled through school without a sweat. It even seemed like he possess knowledge which is far above that of the Academy City.

She really wondered how his brain works. How can he be favored by the heaven so much? Did he had some kind of affair with a goddess, that's why he was so talented and smart?

As she pondered about the mystery floating around Lyle, she suddenly saw him pointing a finger at the place of unwashed plates. "Darling, please wash the plates and cups first."

Moori snapped out of her envy. She filled the kitchen's sink with water and washed them properly.

She then wiped them with a clean cloth. However, drops of water were accidently flung onto Lyle's shirt and pants.

Mooi widened her innocent eyes. O - O

Lyle smiled. "Remember to mop the floors."

She gave her a sorry looked before smiling sweetly. "Ok."

After a few minutes, the food was finally cooked. Lyle then carried the tray with four bowls of soup, plates and some steak.

The two girls; Princess Feme and Angelica continues to stare blankly when the main culprit of their aching hearts finally appeared while carrying a tray of food. They immediately returned temporarily back to normal.

----------------------------------

During dinner, the three girls spoon never left their hands.

Although they didn’t want to admit it, Lyle's home cooked meals were indeed delicious as what the Headmaster declared.

Lyle took his plate and begins eating but he suddenly noticed

Moori frowning at her bowl of soup.

Lyle immediately asked her in concern: “What is it? You don't like it?”

Moori looks up and says casually: “Get me another bowl, please. Didn't I already told you I don’t like to eat parsley .”

"Ah right!" Lyle suddenly remember her telling him about that.

However, he suddenly forgot about it.

“That’s such a waste, anyway just pick out the parsleys.”

Moori's eyes suddenly lit up as she raises her beautiful eyebrows.

“Do it for me, that's too troublesome~"

Lyle was silent for awhile then nodded: “Fine, I’ll do it!”

Lyle does everything smoothly, completely unaware that there are two girls looking at them in shock.

Although they have speculated something before, but they dismissed it because their pure hearts just couldn't accept it.

And now, seeing these two acting like this in front of them while eating ...

... It appears that the relationship between Lyle and the Academy's Headmaster was really not simple.

The two girls couldn't help but looked at them with wide opened eyes. They suddenly felt something prickling in their hearts.

Lyle uses a small spoon to scoop the parsley from Moori's bowl. He always had a principle of not wasting food.

After all the parsley was picked up, Moori finally begins to eat slowly like a cultured and elegant young lady.

However, something feels wrong.

While eating, Lyle and Moori continues to feel very uncomfortable.

Especially Moori who somehow feel a strong gaze directed towards her.

This is certainly not because she is having a meal with a man like Lyle. In fact, she has long been accustomed to eating with Lyle, but because of the way the two girls in front of them occasionally looks at her.

The way they looks at her is very peculiar, like, they were looking at a pig to butcher and then eat … …

Uh, this ought to be a misconception, Moori presumes.

It must be that these two is thinking of the delicious steak and is looking at her at the same time.

Lyle was sitting beside Moori and was opposite of the two girls, so he naturally noticed their somewhat strange looks and atmosphere.

Realizing something, Lyle decided to ignore it as he somehow felt humored inside. He continued acting like a dense protagonist in

some manga and Light novel.

"Oh, right what are you two looking at me for?" He suddenly asked as to break the awkward atmosphere that was covering them.

Indeed, when the two girls heard him, their attitude took a 180 degrees turn and immediately looked at him with worried eyes.

"H-How are you in these past few days?" Princess Feme worriedly asked.

"That's right! You brat! Do you know what you've started?! I

thought that you were hiding your identity, then why did you suddenly did something completely outrageous like this? Although I was surprised at first to hear that you are actually the prince of the Dragonfang Kingdom, but ... but ... anyway, you should have known that your kingdom didn't have any good reputation!"

Angelica's emotions suddenly burst out.

Although her words seemed like she was reprimanding him, however, the worry and concern hiding on it was still noticeable that even the deaf could hear.

Hearing her outburst, Lyle couldn’t help looking at Angelica with surprise. He suddenly felt a little warmth in his heart.

"Thank you." He looked at this kind hearted girl in front of him gently.

Angelica was left dumbfounded. It was the first time she saw this kind of expression from him.

On the other hand, Princess Feme not knowing where to cry to ...

as soon as she can finally speak and at the same earn some ( Love ) points, another person would rise and overshadow her ... T.T

Really ... what's the use of my identity now ... ?

Her heart is really bleeding ... ...

"Ah ... no, ah ... that ..." Angelica began stammering as she suddenly felt embarrassed.

""Ahem!"" Seeing their exchange, two people immediately smiled as they coughed.

However, Their smiles hinted a little killing intent and their eyes were sharp like a blade as if they would start cutting something at any moment now.

"Angelica Strauss, aren't you quite worried about him." This time, it was the Headmaster who looked at Angelica with eyes as sharp as knives.

"H-Headmaster!?"

Since Angelica had been focused on Lyle and her outburst this whole time, she felt as if her heart had stopped when the

Headmaster suddenly pointed that out.

“Tha, that’s not it! N-Not at all! That kind of thing would never–!”

Having something close to the truth pointed out, Angelica panicked and shook her head as her face turned as red as an apple.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted and the mood became strange.

Like an explosion of an ambiguous pink bomb, Angelica suddenly realized what she had done, and felt too shy to even leak a drop of water.

Lyle on the other hand gently narrowed his eyes and smiled at the three girls exchanges.

He wasn't a dense protagonist seen from any books, so, although it was quite conceited of him, he already noticed their feelings for better or for worse.

However, he decided to pretend not to notice it because he doesn't want the bond between them shaken and turned into something worse.

Besides, seeing this sight everyday is quite refreshing and

interesting~

Hm, something about the logic here seems a bit strange … …

Seeing the pitiful and panicking look of Angelica, Lyle raised his hands in surrender.

"Come on, were having dinner so relax a little will you~" Lyle smiled.

“Auu, Ahh, Awaaa...”

Angelica fumbled around and trembled in shame. She had shown him an ungraceful and sloppy appearance, right now, Angelica was unbelievably embarrassed that Lyle had seen it.

“Anyway, You guys know each other?” Lyle curiously asked while looking alternatively between Angelica and Princess Feme.

"“No.”" Princess Feme and the Angelica denied it at the same time.

“Who are you trying to deceive?” Lyle teased.

"Really, I'm not lying. I heard about the however, this is still the first time we've met" Princess Feme answered.

“Same as her. I heard about the beautiful and genius princess of the Beast Kingdom; Princess Feme. However, same as her this is the first time meeting her but I heard some things. It seems like the Princess's fiancée is none other than the monstrous prince of the Dragonfang Kingdom …” Angelica smiled. Her smile hinted a little killing intent, her eyes sharp like a knife and the small electricity crackling on the top of her head was very noticeable as if she really wanted to electrocute someone.

"Yeah, you're right she's my fiancée~"
