Chapter 86: The Cooking Class
When Eric and Rafe entered the galley, they were greeted with an unusual atmosphere. The kitchen crew gathered on one side of the galley, appearing clueless and unsure of what to do. This was highly unusual for them, as they would typically be busy preparing meals for the passengers and ship crew by now.
The commander, his wife, and the new ’teacher’ were gathered on the other side of the galley, near the counter. Damon, Eli, and Ayden stood nearby, watching with concerned eyes. They looked at Eric and Rafe, who joined them with a defeated expression.
Curious about the situation, Eric lifted his head to see what was happening. Damon gestured towards the three people at the preparation counter.
In the tense quiet, Luke spoke up, "Let’s start with cutting this onion."
Everyone watched Anna reach for the knife, but Kyren quickly took it.
Concerned, the commander said, "This knife is very sharp and dangerous. You might accidentally cut yourself."
Kyren looked worried, so Luke suggested, "Why don’t we focus on the fire? I’ll demonstrate how to control it to achieve the right cooking temperature."
His attention turned to the fire, hoping to salvage the next cooking class lesson.
"All right," Anna agreed as they moved towards the brazier. However, Kyren quickly interrupted, "It’s too hot! She might get burned!"
The princess let out an exasperated sigh. "Kyren, please!" she pleaded. "If you keep on like this, I won’t be able to learn anything!" she grunted.
The commander shook his head unsatisfactorily. "I didn’t know the tasks in the kitchen could be this dangerous. Perhaps you should consider learning something else," Kyren suggested.
