" You won't have to do much, your highness! I've already minced everything before coming". I said to the princess indifferently.
I can't ask much of her! Due to her status, I'm certain she has never set foot in the kitchen before. The servants might have everything for her since very young! I went into deep reflection.
" Ying Yue, I'd like to help you the best way I can and learn from you in the process". The princess said to me with an intensive gaze.
She wants to learn from me! What could I possibly teach her? I wondered.
" I have nothing to teach you, your highness!" I said to the princess abruptly.
" Ying Yue?" The princess called out my name suddenly.
" Yes, your highness!" I responded as formally as possible.
" I have a request!" The princess said.
" What request may I grant you, your highness?" I asked the princess in an interrogative tone.
" We're not in the palace, so could you stop referring to us as royalty!" She said with an intensive gaze.
