Soon, two servants appeared at the entrance, their eyes fixed upon the woman in the kitchen as they halted their steps.


    “Who are you? What are you doing here?” one of them asked warily, scrutinizing ire without recognizing her.


    Even if they did recognize her, she shouldn’t be present in the crucial area of the kitchen. If there was any problem with the king’s meal, she would be the prime suspect. The responsibility was too significant for anyone to bear.


    ire was caught off guard. Though she appeared calm, her heart was already in panic. Being in this ce was a mistake, and no reason or exnation would hold.


    “I’m sorry, I’m looking for Prince Taylor,” ire said, her lips curling into a smile, calmly addressing them. “I thought he was here because I saw himing in this direction.”


    “Why would the prince be here?” one of them stepped forward, their voice cold andharsh, staring at ire with disbelief. “At this hour, Prince Taylor might not even be awake!”


    “Come with me to see the steward! You’ll exin yourself to him!” the other servant ordered.


    ire realized the situation was turning bad. If she was taken to see the steward, she would undoubtedly be searched. No, she couldn’t go to the steward!


    At that moment, Prince Taylor appeared at the kitchen entrance. He had overheard the servants’ reprimand and noticed them blocking the way.


    “What’s going on?” Taylor asked as he approached. “Isn’t Father’s breakfast being served?”


    As he spoke, he caught sight of the familiar figure inside.


    “ire?” Taylor was taken aback.


    “Hello, Prince,” the two servants hurriedly greeted him, feeling a bit flustered. How did he end up here?


    Taylor, ignoring them, walked straight to ire. “How are you? They didn’t give you any trouble, did they?”


    ire hadn’t rxed yet and simply looked at him calmly, shaking her head without saying a word.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “Her name is ire, a friend of mine. No matter where she appears, you must not give her any trouble!” Taylor firmly instructed the servants. “Do you understand?!”


    “We understand, Prince,” the servants lowered their heads.


    They thought, so she came to see Prince Taylor?


    Taylor took hold of ire’s wrist and led her outside, walking a considerable distance away. Only then did ire finally let go of the tension, and her mind cleared.


    That was a close call, but she managed to collect the samples sessfully.


    ire stopped and gently pulled her wrist out of Taylor’s grasp. He also stopped and turned to look at her, their eyes meeting at a short distance.


    “Just now… thank you,” ire said.


    “You’re wee,” Taylor replied.


    “I saw youing here, but when I went downstairs, I didn’t see you. I thought you might be here, so I identally ended up in the kitchen,” she calmly exined to him, not wanting to arouse suspicion.


    After all, his mother was Queen Katharine.


    However, Taylor was generous and didn’t delve deeper. Instead, he smiled and said, “Why exin all that? Now that you’re by Father’s side, I have time to show you around and prevent any more awkward encounters like today.”


    ire met his gaze, a slight smile appearing on her lips. “Thank you.”


    Then Taylor asked, “Did you need something from me?” His eyes were filled with anticipation, unaware of ire’s rtionship with Louis.


    Recalling her words earlier, he felt quite happy.


    Although she had a boyfriend in Arkpool City, Taylor still believed in his charm and believed that feelings could grow over time.


    ire had to make her lie more convincing, so she said, “I just wanted to ask if you like spicy food.”
