<span style="font-weight:400">That made the others curious. It was something the others had never seen before. Gabriel tasted the pie and realized, "Keith, this doesn''t taste like the one we ate yesterday," It tasted sweet and tangy.
<span style="font-weight:400">He remembered the shepherd''s pie to taste savory and bursting with meaty vor.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled, "I added a tomato to the pie this time. I wanted to test how it would taste."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see. No wonder it tastes sweeter,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you prefer savory?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I prefer either one. Both taste good," Gabriel smiled as he continued to eat. Arlo added, "These apples are sweet!" Arlo ate some sliced apples.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you. I''ve grown the apples myself," Keith smiled. He kept those in his storage.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The rest gazed at the three having their meal.
<span style="font-weight:400">Maria sighed, "I shouldn''t have sat at this table," Why do I have to stare at this eating show? What was more, those three had no shame! Did they forget about the others? She looked down at her lunch and then at Keith''s meal. The difference was uncanny.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn tugged on Keith''s sleeve, "Keith, can I have a bite?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith chuckled, "Women, you''re going to mooch off of me for the rest of your life?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course!" Carolyn stated with a happy grin on her face. Maria blinked a few times as she stared at her. She nced at Tristan, who shook his head, signaling her not to say anything. They continued to watch it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here," Keith picked up a fork to feed her.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So tasty!" Carolyn stated as she chewed. There were so many different textures from the shepherd''s pie. The meat was tender and juicy. The potatoes gave it a slight crunch and softness.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want an apple!" Carolyn noted. Keith handed an apple over to her. Arlo tilted his head as he stared at the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith noticed it, "What''s the matter, Arlo?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are you and the princess engaged?" Arlo couldn''t help but ask this question. But Keith shook his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re not. This piggy only clings onto me because she likes my cooking."
<span style="font-weight:400">"And this piggy here will bite you!" Carolyn red at Keith. However, Keith didn''t back down as he stared back,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What? Do you not like my food?" Keith had some pasta in front of her face. Carolyn didn''t hesitate to devour it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m a piggy," Carolyn could care less. She was eating with a happy expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pff," Keith chuckled and continued to feed her. While he did this,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith," Keith turned to see Jack.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled, "What''s the matter, Jack?" It was a rare sight to see Jacke to his table. But then he noticed a student standing beside him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hmm? That guy looks familiar. Keith didn''t know why, but he felt he met with this person before.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack noticed Keith''s expression as he introduced him, "This is the owner of my ind,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings, Prince Tristan! And it''s a pleasure to meet you, Marquis Freed!" My name is Todd Mills!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Mills? Oh, that guy! Keith realized who this person was. That guy was none other than the child who caused a disturbance at the restaurant he, Camelia, and Derek went to.
<span style="font-weight:400">Todd didn''t want to wait for a table, so he used his family''s name to force his way through.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, hello," Tristan greeted. His greeting was curt. It was normal to show some sign of courtesy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello," Keith did the same thing. Todd Mills smiled as he sat down without a thought. That caused the others to frown.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I heard about your exploits, Keith," Todd stated with a smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re the one who created the famous White Forest Bakery." Todd smiled. He heard about it. The creator of the bakery was none other than the 1st year sitting next to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about we work together?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you tell me some secrets, my family will help you expand even more!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Is he dumb? Everyone''s eyes dted.
<span style="font-weight:400">Asking for the bakery''s secrets was already a red g. But then saying that he would help Keith expand was another issue.
<span style="font-weight:400">Who was Keith? He was the son of a Marquis. Why would he need the help of a Count to help him expand?
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t n on telling anyone the secrets," Keith stated calmly. It was weird for him to ask this. And divulging something like that might get a lot of people in trouble. White Forest Bakery''s security was airtight. All employees had to sign a contract to never divulge any secrets.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, as fellow nobles, we have a duty to help one another." But Todd continued to talk before he noticed Arlo,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?! Why is there a halfling here?!"
