Special Chapter. Women’s story (3)
Dinner was served by Ludwig at the request of the female crew.
However, it was too much for him to cook a course meal for four people by himself, so he borrowed the help of the Aifretz family’s masters for the basic preparations.
In the past, Ludwig’s cooking skills were only excellent for those who had not learned professionally, but after marriage, his skills improved significantly.
It was because I started digging into cooking a little more professionally because I had more time to spare and I had a lot of things to do to entertain Emilia or my parents.
After a long time, the four of them were huddled together in front of the table with smiles on their faces.
In particular, the one with the brightest face was, surprisingly, not Emilia, but Scarlett.
“It is expected. It’s the first time I’ve eaten the food Ludwig cooked for me.”
“really? Have you never had one?”
Tanya knew that Scarlett frequented the Ipretz family, so it was very unexpected news for her as well.
Scarlett’s anticipation grew even more when Sofia joined in and gave favorable reviews saying that it would be very delicious.
If Ludwig had been watching this scene, he would have been in a cold sweat from the pressure.
“Even if you don’t know anything else, you need to know one food skill. Right, Emilia?”
“Huh, that’s right. Recently, Ludwig often makes me feel like he has gained some confidence.”
In the past, Ludwig himself did not have much confidence in his cooking skills.
I guess you could say that they thought that food that could be eaten was at the level of making it.
However, little by little, my professionalism increased, and my confidence increased as I received good reviews even when I served to people other than my family.
Thanks to that, it was Emilia, not anyone else, who enjoyed the luxury.
“That’s enough confidence. To be honest, if it weren’t for Emilia, would you want to hire her as a lodging house?”
“My mother said that too. The same goes for Tanya.”
In the past, when Julia had a late child, when she visited the Bayemurn family, there was something she said as if she was joking or being serious.
It was about whether it would be okay for the family to stay as a guesthouse and let her eat this meal, even if only when she was pregnant.
However, when Tanya reacted like this, I wondered if he was serious.
Of course, Ludwig has no intention of handing it over to his mother or his old childhood friend.
“Have you eaten Sophia?”
“Yes, even when I was young, my older brother did it for me. Of course, it tastes better now than then.”
“Wow, that must be a memory Emilia doesn’t have.”
wriggling
Emilia, who was listening to the conversation between the two beside her, twitched slightly at Scarlett’s casually uttered a word.
Tanya, who caught the scene clearly with both eyes, glanced at it with a feeling of regret.
Even if she pretended otherwise, Tanya knew very well that her possessiveness toward Ludwig was worse than anyone else’s.
Belatedly, Sofia must have noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere, and began to glance at the side where Emilia and Tanya were attached.
Add to this the two hands that start to get busy as anxiety surges.
The figure of a three-year-old child overlapped with the appearance of muck, as if making clay.
“The food is out.”

Just as the friendly atmosphere was about to cool down suddenly, Ludwig appeared at just the right moment and Emilia’s expression suddenly brightened.
Scarlett, who was not even aware of this situation, cheered and opened her eyes at the fact that the food was served.
On the other hand, only Tanya and Sophia silently shouted Ludwig’s name and thanked him.
though he can’t hear it.
“The appetizer is gorgeous. Ludwig, do you really not intend to be a cook?”
“hahahaha, unfortunately. Right now, just painting is too much for me.”
When Scarlett asked the appetizer with a clean impression on the bowl, her eyes twinkling, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
In the first place, his occupation was neither a painter nor a cook. Because it was all just a hobby.
I just made my name known by selling a few paintings recently. After that, I never thought of doing it as a job.
“It’s too precious to rot as a hobby.”
“I was afraid that if I became a job, I would hate it. It has to be a family business anyway.”
“but… That too.”
There may be many people who don’t recognize him because he is so easy-going, but he is definitely the heir to the count’s family.
Besides, unlike Emilia, who recently had a younger sister, he was the only child, so he was the only one who had to carry on the family business.
Even now, it seems like he is only playing Sinseon, but he is also quite enthusiastic about learning public affairs.
His father said that he could still play a little more, but Ludwig was aware that the time would come when he would have to take over.
“You’re not going to treat us to meals after you become head of household, are you?”
“You don’t trust me that much. Stop talking stupid and have a meal.”
“Heh, you must have been trustworthy.”
Tanya, who turned her head as if pouting, said in the meantime, ‘I’ll eat well.’ I left the word and picked up a fork and knife.
There were only five people in this restaurant at the moment because they didn’t even call an attendant to help them.
Their meal began in such a relaxed atmosphere.
Surprised by the food he had never seen before, Scarlett asked about this and that, so Ludwig slipped back and came to his wife’s side after giving a brief explanation.
Then he called her in a secret voice.
“Emilia.”
“Yeah?”
“Actually, this is the first food to be presented today. I made it for Emilia, so enjoy it.”
An unidentified food that seems soft like jelly but is a bit harder than that.
Certainly Emilia was also tilting her head as it was her first appearance, but I could not believe it was her first taste of food.
He even said that the dish was made for herself, and the emotion that had calmly filled Emilia’s heart grew even more.
Somehow, I felt like an idiot for being jealous of myself for an unspoken reason a little while ago.
“Yes, I will eat well. Ludwig.”
When Emilia responded with a smile, he grinned as well and turned around and took two steps back.
Today, these four are the main characters, and he was just a cook to serve food.
Of course, it would be okay to participate in the conversation, but I wanted to spend time alone with the four of us if possible.
“It’s really delicious.”
“Does it suit your taste?”
“Yes, very much. My older brother’s cooking skills are always excellent.”
It was an appetizer, so it wasn’t overly burdensome, but the clean aftertaste was excellent.
Ludwig laughed heartily when Sofia gave a thumbs up while giving favorable reviews.
It is because she has a calm personality, so this big reaction was quite fresh.
“You mean Emilia lives on a meal like this every day? envy… … .”
The title of ‘a meal like this’ probably refers to the food prepared by the person you love, not by anyone else, rather than the taste of the food.
A wry smile formed on Ludwig’s lips at Scarlett’s self-talking whining, and Emilia added a word to prevent excessive imagination.
“Not every day. You can’t always play a fool with your husband.”
“Still, I think Ludwig will do it often because of his personality. right?”
Faced with Scarlett’s questioning as if there was no doubt about this, Emilia responded with a silent smile.
He would, too, because he enjoyed a homemade meal with him just last night.
Actually, it’s not every day, but it seemed like they ate once every two days.
If I told her about this, I would shudder with envy, but Emilia didn’t bother to mention it.
After eating all the appetizers, the food began to come out one by one in earnest.
Each time, when everyone exclaimed, Ludwig gave a brief explanation of the food with a proud smile while pretending not to.
Why did you use these ingredients and what did they taste like?
Thanks to that, the four of them were able to continue their meal happily, realizing once again that food tastes better when you know it.
“Ludwig, it’s late, but even this… … .”
“hahahaha, I’ll eat well.”
He suggested it throughout the meal, but he didn’t listen, so Emilia eventually scooped out the sherbet that hadn’t risen yet and held it out to him.
Ludwig finally accepts and eats her expression because she looks like she will turn into a tearful face if she declines.
I had already tasted a little during the process of making it, so there was nothing new, but thinking that it was being fed by someone I love, it somehow seemed to taste sweeter.
“Like those bad guys. I mean, even at the dinner table, be still… Right, Scarlett?”
“uh? ah… Is that so?”
“… That’s right, you were enemies too.”
Tanya let out a deep sigh after getting hit one more time while trying to save Dongjo.
The refreshing taste of sherbet disappeared without a trace.
