Luana turned over the documents with a fairly skillful attitude. As a person who has spent her high school in Korea, there was no way she couldn't do this. The number of participants was huge, but it took quite a while because they could not be divided according to their experiences. Whether made for experts or beginners, it was important for the duke to feel the food's taste.

The butler felt sorry to see Luana working hard to organize the documents. He thought she was perfect in any way. Why can't she release the curse? It was just a pity.

After organizing the documents to some extent, she began to see the outlines of the preliminary round's participants.

'Surprisingly, a lot of noble ladies also participated?'

It seemed that the purpose of some people was not to cook, but that didn't mean they could leave them out either. Luana pouted her lips as she looked at the papers. Somehow, she didn't feel good. But her feeling is her feeling, and the document is the document. She couldn't even organize the documents according to her feeling.

"By the way, Miss Luana, you're not participating in the cooking contest?"

"Can I do it?"

"Isn't there anything you can't do?"

At that, Luana pondered for a moment.

'Still, wouldn't it be useless to participate in a cooking contest when I can't even break the curse?' She shook her head, thinking so.

"I think it would be better not to. Now, the paperwork is finished!"

In the end, Luana finished helping the butler organize the papers. She got up and stretched her hands. She had helped the butler, so she thought she would see Way. Since Way is the duke's chef, he was also busy ahead of the competition.

"Way!"

"Miss Luana."

Way, who was busy, greeted Luana. Although he must be swamped, his expression looked bright.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"It's okay. I can still handle it by myself. Help me when I get busier."

"Okay!"

After answering him, Luana decided to go to the duke this time. When she was just about to push the kitchen door, Way suddenly asked her a question.

"But is it true that the cooking contest is held to find the duke a wife?"

At that remark, Luana paused for a moment.

'Duke's wife?'

But on second thought, it wasn't exactly wrong. If the food tastes good, the duke will have to love her somehow to break the curse. Otherwise, there was no point in holding such a big competition. As she reached that point, her mood went down even more.

"I don't know that much either."

"I see."

Way replied awkwardly to Luana's cold answer. She left him behind and left the kitchen. She now tried to visit the duke, too, but she was feeling reluctant. She stared at her waist pocket and started to think. She said she wouldn't hide anymore, but she didn't know why she kept staring at her waist. She stood for a long time in the middle of the hallway.

***

The cooking contest that has been a hot topic among people is finally here!

A huge amount of prize money, and the duke will be the judge from the first session. In addition, after the preliminary round, the emperor also participates as a judge. It was a dream competition that anyone wanted to join. Was it because of that? Many male chefs even protested. Some dressed up as women and went out to participate but were caught and kicked out.
