    <span style="font-weight:400">"What is this?" What they saw was a giant tower. Each one was filled with food!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What is the food on top?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There are three tiers?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you prefer savory snacks, please choose something from the bottom. If you prefer something sweet, please choose something on the other two." This was what Keith wanted to construct. Sophia and Camelia saw it and thought it was interesting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">On the bottom were bite-sized sandwiches, while the other twoyers were cookies and some fruits.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The fruits were cut into a beautiful design. Thalia and the other noble women were in awe.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see there are two different types on the bottom. What are they called?" Thalia questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s called a sandwich. It''s meat and other ingredients in between two pieces of bread. The ones we have are a ham, tomato, and lettuce sandwich. The other is a cucumber sandwich."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ham, tomato, and lettuce sandwich? Cucumber sandwich? Thalia had never heard these things before.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She knew the ingredients. But as a sandwich?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, that''s bread?" Thalia stared at the bread.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Bread? When did bread be like this? It was softer and much more airy than usual! But Thalia didn''t think about it as she took a bite of the ham sandwich. And when she did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How could bread be this good?!" Thalia couldn''t believe it. She looked down and realized she finished it!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s so airy! It matches well with the milk tea!" The other women tasted the food. And they were in awe!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mother! You should try the ones on top!" Carolyn shouted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Thalia looked at Carolyn''s brightened face. She was eating something from the secondyer. Thalia looked at it. It looked simplepared to the other food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She took one and munched on it. I see. She understood why her daughter was so happy about the cookies.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was crunchy and sweet, like milk tea. Thalia and the other women were surprised. More so when tasting the sandwich.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was because this was something they had never tasted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sophia and Camelia had triumphant expressions as they stared at the sight. You guys haven''t seen all of it yet! The eating went on for a few minutes before the noblewomen asked,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Grand Duchess, please tell us the recipes for all this food!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you going to have another party like this again?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen were eager. They cleaned off everything on the 3-tier stand! Camelia and Sophia expected something like this. Of course, they would be excited about something they had never tasted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What was more, it was delicious as well!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thalia added, "I''m curious. Who cooked all these dishes?" That person had to be a genius for doing all of this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll tell you who made these dishes in a bit. There''s one more dish that has to be brought out. And it''s a dish we haven''t even tried either." Camelia smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Her words had caused all the noblewomen to be shocked! A dish the Grand Duchess and Marchioness hadn''t tried? They were curious about it now!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And it seemed that it''s done." Someone rolled a cart into the garden. Sophia smiled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What have you brought for us?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The dish here is called an apple pie, Madam. It''s a baked version of the fruit you''ve eaten a moment ago." The person smiled as he took off the lid. The noble women could smell the strong scent of applesing from it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen almost forgot their image. They quickly put a napkin in front of their mouth, trying their best to hide their drool.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They were in front of the Queen!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Heck! The Queen was drooling as well! The scent of the apple was to die for!


    <span style="font-weight:400">What a smell!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please slice it." Camelia gestured. As the maids sliced the pie into pieces, the smelling from the pie became even stronger than before!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone could see the golden liquid leaking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One by one, the maids ced a slice in front of everyone. They all gulped when they saw it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s eat!" Camelia pped her hands together. When she did, everyone stabbed their forks into it! It was soft on the inside. But there was a crisp texture from the crust.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What would it taste like?" The smell was to die for. And the texture was extraordinary! And when they ced it into their mouth, they said nothing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So good!" An explosion of juices flowed inside their mouths! And it didn''t stop there.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The more they chewed on the apple pie, the more the juices flowed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It had a rich and sweet vor! They were being drowned by the taste of apples!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Marchioness! Please tell us the recipe!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t think I can live without eating this!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How could something be this delicious?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The noblewomen had to get the recipe for this! But Thalia spoke, "Enough, all of you! There''s no need to ask the Marchioness this question."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thalia turned, "You''re the one who cooked all of this, am I right?" The person she talked to was the one who pushed the cart in.
