Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 43 Mom can help you!
"Anlia, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Xia Mingyu took the handkerchief handed to him by the girl, wiped his mouth, and praised from the bottom of his heart.

He could sense this from the changes in his weight.

It turned out that after traveling through time, he was not used to the climate there and had lost weight mainly because of the deterioration in living conditions. During these days in the castle, he was almost losing weight again because of Anlia.

"No, it was all thanks to Aunt Mary's advice," Anlia said embarrassedly with a red face.

In fact, she spent almost every day studying the recipes and cooking books she brought from the library, and at night, when no one was using the castle kitchen, she stayed up late to practice cooking until the early hours of the morning.

But she didn't want to tell His Highness this, because it was just her duty, and there was no need and no right for His Highness to know.

She just hopes that His Highness can be happier because of the food she worked so hard to make.
At this moment, a white light flashed and Xia Mingyu looked over subconsciously.

Above Anlia's head, next to the "civilian" identity protection, a line of white words gradually appeared - "Apprentice Chef".

"Anlia, you have obtained professional protection!" Xia Mingyu said in surprise.

"what?"

The girl was startled at first, then quickly ran to the water stain on the floor not far away. Sure enough, there was an extra line of text above her head in the reflection.

"Your Highness, my divine power is deliciousness. It can make the food I prepare even more delicious. I can bring you even better food!"

After checking her abilities, An Liya excitedly jumped in front of Xia Mingyu.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her blue eyes seemed to be lit up, shining like stars.

"Congratulations, Anlia."

Xia Mingyu smiled and patted the girl's head gently to show encouragement, but a trace of regret flashed in his heart.

He had originally wanted to teach Anlia the Moonlight Meditation Method and let her become a magic apprentice, but now, it seems that the girl can only be a cook.

dong dong.

Just then, there was another gentle knock on the library door.

It’s so lively today. Xia Mingyu was a little surprised, but he got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a tall lady, Danielle Martha.

But today she was wearing a pink scarf, and her long hair like a violet waterfall was piled up high, with a few strands of hair hanging casually by her ears, making her look lazy and elegant.

She was pushing a small cart with two silver plates on it. On the plates were an exquisite cake, a pot of steaming black tea and several teacups.

The cake is adorned with fresh berries and cream flowers, and has a rich and fragrant aroma of black tea.

"Your Highness Mingyu, I heard from the servants that you have been staying in the library reading these days. You must be very tired~"

"So I made some cakes for you myself as a courtesy host. If you can enjoy your stay at Black Wolf Castle, it would be a great honor for my husband and me."

Danielle spoke slowly in a voice as gentle as water, her cyan eyes were full of tenderness, and a perfect smile hung on her delicate face.

"I accept your kindness."

Xia Mingyu said calmly as he moved aside to let the lady enter the library.

"Is this your maid, Your Highness? I've heard Karen say about her a long time ago. She's truly beautiful, like a jade sculpture. Oh, I envy you, Your Highness~"

"It's a pity that a woman like me is probably not qualified to be your maid, Your Highness."

"Little Elise, you're getting cuter and cuter. Your silver hair is like silk woven by moonlight. It's so beautiful. Do you have any secrets for maintaining your hair?"

“Share it with mom~”

As soon as she came in, Danielle's eyes darted back and forth between Anlia and Elise, praising them as if they were two exquisite works of art. "You are beautiful too."

Being praised by a noble, Anlia's cheeks instantly flushed. She lowered her head, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the pleats of her light blue skirt.

Her blonde hair gleamed in the sunlight through the stained-glass windows, and her blue eyes shone with shyness.

As for Iris, her reaction was very cold. She just nodded slightly to show her respect for her stepmother without saying a word.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, but Danielle seemed not to notice and still had a bright smile on her face.

Her eyes quickly searched the library and soon noticed an open notebook with magic patterns drawn on it lying on the floor.

"Your Highness, did you write this?"

Danielle wanted to pick up the notebook with a hint of curiosity, but she soon realized that this was also a faux pas, so she withdrew her hand and just asked softly.

After receiving Xia Mingyu's affirmative answer, her purple eyes narrowed slightly and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Your Highness, I still need to take care of little Haydn, so I'll leave now. I wish you good luck with your studies. Please let me know if you need anything~"

Danielle folded her hands and bowed slightly, then left the library.

"Elise, Lady Danielle, are you always this welcoming?"

Looking at the woman's departing back, Xia Mingyu couldn't help but ask Iris beside him.

".Heh, I never saw her smile at me before you came." Iris said with resentment.

Every time they met in the corridors of the castle, she would witness the art of changing faces at the speed of light.

The lady who was chatting and laughing with the servants in the last second, the next moment her face became as cold as an iceberg that had not melted for years. From time to time, those beautiful cyan eyes would flash with a trace of disgust and disdain when their gaze met.

She even heard outside the bedroom door that this shameless woman was serving her father while asking him to kick her out of the castle.

She was really scared at that time. She should have covered her ears and left, but she had to stand there and eavesdrop. She didn't dare to go back to her room until she heard her father's refusal.

That incident left a deep psychological shadow on her.

"Your Highness, this woman is never so kind. She is being nice to you because she wants to get something from you. You have to be vigilant!" Iris advised.

"Alas, with this on my head, is there anyone in the world who wouldn't want to get something from me when they see me?"

Xia Mingyu shrugged and pointed at the "1.4 billion" above his head and smiled bitterly.

Iris was speechless for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Anlia's face beside her. After all, she took care of His Highness with a bit of selfish motives to save the village.

the other side.

Danielle returned to the bedroom and began to rummage through the drawers.

"I remember that when my mother sent me off to get married, she must have put a high-quality magic crystal in it," Danielle frowned slightly as she looked at the messy boxes on the floor.

She received so many blessing gifts from her parents' home that she couldn't even find them all.

"I can only look for them one by one." The woman sighed. When she was a noble lady, what she hated most was doing these chores, but now she is a mother.

After a long time, Danielle finally found a crystal in a small box. The crystal was surrounded by blue light and emitted a slight chill.

"That's great, my little Haydn, now mommy can help you!"

The woman hugged the crystal tightly to her chest, not caring at all about the irritation and pain caused by its coldness.
