Chapter 21

After Eva reached home,

Melanie asked Eva in a teasing tone, "It seems that even you are learning from John nowadays . Hah, I wished I had a filial granddaughter and learned pharmacy from me, I guess love triumphs all . "

"Well, it's okay since I anyway hope that you and John come together . "

"Grandma its nothing like that, I was only training with John so I can improve my magic and combat abilities . You are only overthinking . " Eva flustered a bit and said to Melanie in an irritated and calm tone . Even Eva had only begun to realize her own feelings for John now after she felt irritated about John training with Josephine .

"Huhuhu . . . . . I understand you youngsters the most . You don't have to hide from Grandma you know . " Grandma Melanie said nodding her head as if she knew all before she got back to prepare the table for dinner .

Eva didn't bother continuing and changed the topic on whether she will attend the banquet tomorrow . Melanie thought about it and said that she was busy experimenting with her herbs and wanted to observe the changes as much as possible and write it down for later references .

Meanwhile, John helped the servants for the banquet preparations at the mansion .

Next day at the banquet it was very lively,

Most of the people from the village arrived this included Sam, his family, and the Ten leaders as they wanted to express their gratitude towards John for his help previously in farming .

John had invited Ron, George, and Paul as well . John thought he should invite George as well since he had helped him in making the Soap machine plus this would anyway cultivate good feelings . George had known about the matter of Antonio but he still thought business relations mattered more and he didn't have any problems with John so he decided to accept the invite and arrived at the Mansion .

At last Jack and Joseph arrived together while Eva's team and Jay arrived a bit earlier . While the factory workers arrived as well .

Most of the people who arrived here were amazed by the Mansion as they had never seen such a mansion with such furniture . The same was the case with Jack and Joseph .

John had already known about Melanie not coming so he didn't wait and hosted the guests .

All of the guests were amazed by the delicacies provided by the servants in the Mansion . It was especially for the newly made Ice-cream which took the show . An ice-house was made in the Mansion using saltpeter he had brought for gun powder .

During the Banquet, even George and Sam's wife asked about the recipe's of various items provided at the mansion .

"John you have a lot of new delicacies here which I hadn't eaten earlier," Jay asked John in a very happy tone .

"Yeah, I think the same . I never ate these things earlier when I came for training . Did you plan to surprise everyone this time around . " Josephine agreed to Jay asked John .

"Well, this time I wanted to surprise everyone so I decided to make the servants learn the new dishes and prepare for the banquet this time around . I hope you all liked the food provided . " John answered the questions of everyone .

He even let the servants give a few recipes to everyone while he kept a few so that it remains a specialty of his mansion .

The banquet concluded successfully and John thanked everyone for attending the banquet and started important talks with people .

He also handed George and Ron their blueprints for the machines on Guns and paper .

"So are the preparations done for the journey and did you get any news about Baron from your family?" John asked Joseph in a serious manner .
