Chapter 20: WOULD HAVE HER TAKEN TO A PRIEST
"You're dismissed. We will be making lunch." Catherine informed the head chef who nodded in understanding on seeing the little princess with the madam, as the rest of the kitchen servants started to leave the kitchen.
Normally, nobles would be mortified at the thought of cooking or learning that their spouse— the women, or child— wanted to cook, but the people in the Grand Duke's mansion were used to their madam using the kitchen, since Catherine used the kitchen sometimes when she got married to their master.
So, it wasn't too shocking that the princess also wanted to join her mother in the kitchen.
No one knew how the servants would react if they learned that Wilson would also join in the cooking. But even if they did find out, they could do nothing about it, after all servants had no say in the affairs of their masters.
The only servants who remained in the kitchen were Adeline and Cassandra, their personal maids and nannies who were told to observe so that they'd be able to teach the rest of the kitchen servants how to make the food just so that they wouldn't have to always prepare the meal themselves whenever they wanted to eat it.
Melanie, Catherine's lady-in-waiting, was also present. She was an aristocrat and left for her, wouldn't have liked to do things the servants should be doing, but she had no choice but to obey her lady.
Besides, it wasn't the first time such a thing would have happened. She just didn't expect, even in her wildest dreams, that there would come a time where Wilson would join his wife to do something so lowly. It was unbelievable!
Nevertheless, she kept her thoughts to herself.
The head chef and the rest of the servants weren't asked to leave the kitchen just for Catherine to use it. Aristia came up with the idea to save Wilson the embarrassment. She couldn't believe she actually forgot the timeline she was in, and was beginning to doubt if she truly was a genius as the world called her and she called herself.
