Knock.Knock.

Creak.

A sound of an opening door was heard then came a youthful voice.

"Morning."

Rosa rolled her eyes and then stuffed the thing she was holding towards the other.

"Quickly change into this and go to the palace.Ms.Mirvana was already waiting there."

After doing that she turned around and left anxiously.

Eugene looked at the clothes on his arms then glanced at the time which says seven minutes after six.

Wasn't it still early?Why did Rosa make it seem like I was late?

He closed the door of his room then locked it.Walking to his bed and putting the clothes there before getting inside the bathroom to shower.

Half an hour later Eugene went out of the bathroom,rubbing his wet hair with a towel to dry then sat down on the bed.

He picked up the clothes and saw that it was a three piece suit.Black pants pairing with the white sleeve on top then a black vest.

He also saw a necktie but…staring at the necktie he was holding Eugene felt complicated.

What to do,I don't know how to wear this?

He circled the tie on his neck,put it on the collar then tried to tie it unfortunately,

Sigh.

Eugene plopped down on the bed then stared at the ceiling,waiting for a miracle and this was the scene that Rosa saw after opening the door to check Eugene.

Rosa couldn't help but yell.

"I told you to go quickly!What are you doing staring at the ceiling?!"

Startled, Eugene immediately stood up from the bed then rushed out of the room.

While the two were walking on the hallway Rosa kept nagging the other but stopped when she noticed Eugene wasn't wearing a necktie thus the nag became long.

"Where's your necktie?!Didn't I give it to you earlier?!Why aren't you wearing it?"

"Rosa,please relax yourself.Let's inhale first…..then exhale."

She subconsciously followed the other and immediately relaxed, however her anger went back after realizing the other was evading the topic.

"Th-"

But before she finished her words Eugene cut her off.

"I don't know how to tie it so I didn't wear it.I don't want to ruin the outfit with a crook tie."

Eugene shyly scratched his head. Rosa didn't continue to be angry anymore and just let it be.

"Ok don't put it anymore."

What could she do?It's not like she could tie it for Eugene.Feeling the gaze coming behind her,Rosa couldn't help but shiver.

He was still doing that?How much longer will he follow Eugene around?

"Can I go to the kitchen palace first before going to the Emperor's palace?I haven't eaten anything yet."

Rosa subconsciously nodded her head which made Eugene beam with joy.

"Thank you."

And without waiting for Rosa to react he already ran away towards the kitchen.

"Who burned the chicken?!Who was assigned here?!"

The head chef,Mr.K shouted.Veins could already be seen in his forehead.

A guy timidly raised his hand and said on a volume that he could only hear.

"It was me."

Bang!

The sound of the table being slammed echoed in the four corners of the kitchen.

"Why aren't you focusing your attention on cooking?Did I assign you to roam around?Get out!I don't need an irresponsible person in my kitchen!"

The servant started to tremble in fear and could only gloomily walk outside.

"All of you get back to work now!"

Thus all the servants went back to their own works with determination. If they didn't do their best there was a possibility that they would also get fired just like the guy earlier.

Why wouldn't Mr.K get mad?They only have seven hours to prepare the food and if these guys kept messing around then how long would it take just for them to finish cooking?

The ball will start at exactly 2 in the afternoon,the food must not be late.

"Eugene, why are you here?"

When Mr.K saw the youth his rage immediately subsided like it didn't happen at all.

Some servants thought on their hearts. How easy for his anger to flare up is how easy for him to change his face.

What could Mr.K do?It's not like he could afford to offend the other or he couldn't afford to offend the person behind him.

Mr.K grabbed a brown paper bag on the table near him and gave it to Eugene after he walked towards the other and reached where the youth was standing.

He didn't even say anything yet when the chef stuffed a paper bag on his bosom then persuaded him to leave while also being pushed outside by the other party.

By the time he realizes what happened, he was already outside the kitchen and the chef told him to be careful and eat more.

Mr.K breathed a sigh of relief after turning around and went back inside to do his job.

He couldn't do something to the youth again that would make the other mad thus he acted like his life defended on it and unfortunately his life really depends on how he acts.

The servants inside the kitchen finally knew what was the food that the chef made earlier for.

So it was actually for that youth to eat.How envious. They knew who the youth was. After all, his Highness didn't conceal his feelings towards the other after all that's why rumors quickly spread between servants.

Eugene wasn't aware about the complicated mood of those people,his attention was on the brown paper bag.

While walking the path towards the Emperor's palace he opened the thing in his hand and saw what was inside.

It was a three simple piece of white bun the size of a fist. Every piece had a white paper that had a smooth texture.

The buns let out a mist of smoke, it could be seen that it was still hot and good to eat for breakfast. He also noticed three tiny transparent bags that contained brown liquid on it which he thought was a sauce. The food could be eaten even when walking.
