Chapter 453 - Dinner With The French Prince (2/2)
”Enough! Sit down, and shut up the lot of you! We are having dinner! I will not tolerate any more conflict at this table!”
Honoria immediately sank back into her seat while Aubry crossed his arms and pouted like a woman. As for the others, they went back to eating their food. For a while, there was utter silence until Aubry finally took his first bite of the käsespätzle; as he did so, he moaned in pleasure like a bitch in heat.
This exaggerated action did not go unnoticed by everyone at the table, including Berengar, who struggled to cope with the obnoxious noise. However, ultimately he gazed over sternly at the French Prince and forced a smile.
”Do you like it?”
Without hesitation, Aubry nodded emphatically before digging more of the cheesy-noodle dish into his mouth. After a few bites, he washed it down with a glass of milk before complimenting the meal.
”This is the best thing I have ever tasted. Do you eat like this every day?”
Berengar immediately nodded his head in response with a proud smile on his face; as he did so, he complimented the chefs and their hard work on creating such delectable dishes.
”Of course! The Chefs in Austria are second to none! You will not find finer cuisine in all of Europe! Especially not in your Kingdom.”
As he made this comment, a lace of venom was hidden on Berengar's tongue. Partially because he came from a German family in his past life and lived as a German King in this one, he had a particular disdain towards the French, especially towards the claim from his previous life that their cooking was some of the best in the world.
During his previous life, Berengar had enjoyed many great dishes from plenty of cultures, which was one of the perks of being an American. In his view, there were three Nations that could compete for the honor of having the best food, and they were from three different continents. German, Chinese, and Mexican food were his favorite cuisine.
Reflecting upon this he began to wonder how Mexican food would develop in this timeline since he would colonize the Northern Region instead of the Spanish. The alien hybrid of Native and German cuisine was a thought that he was greatly interested in. Ultimately he was snapped back to reality by one of Aubry's comments that immediately filled his stomach with revile.
”I wish I were a woman, then I could marry you and eat this food every day!”
The moment the French Prince said these words, he once more received the death glares from Honoria and Henrietta. However, despite their intense hatred for this slutty trap from the Kingdom of France, they made sure to stay their tongues due to the warning that Berengar had given. Henrietta immediately became intimidated by the presence of this foreign tempter and decided to make a move to get one step closer to her big brother.
”Big brother... I don't feel so good. I think I have had too much wine. Do you mind carrying me to my room?”
Henrietta made sure to properly exaggerate her words and sway her head with a fugue-like gaze to sell the act properly. If Linde was not already aware of the girl's feelings and scheming nature, even she might have bought into the show. Just when she was about to comment on this, Berengar stood up from his seat, walked over to his little sister, and picked her up before addressing the rest of his women and his guest.
”I will be back shortly; in the meantime, I advise the rest of you to behave!”
Berengar was not stupid; he knew his sister well enough to know that she was faking; however, he would rather risk alone time with his sister's seduction attempts than spend a minute longer with Aubry.
Thus he carried Henrietta towards her quarters. As he did so, she rested her pretty face in his chest and inhaled his masculine musk. She had finally been allowed to be alone with her brother, and she swore to make the most of it.
