Chapter 56: POPPED CORN AND SLEEPOVERS?
It took a moment for the maid to react. They were... going to make a snack?
Oh! They wanted her to make them a snack. That must be it! The maid sighed in relief when she felt she understood the words of the third princess. She almost chuckled in disbelief. Was she crazy? How could she think the princess said she wanted to make a snack?
"I will make the snacks right away, princess," she bowed and turned away to begin the preparation when Aristia stopped her.
"We will make the snacks ourselves." Aristia rephrased her statement as it seemed like the maid misunderstood her intention.
It took the maid even longer to react now that Aristia made herself clear.
"Y-yes, princess?"
She wanted to make sure she had heard clearly. However, one look at the third princess’s unsmiling face told her that the little princess was not joking. She was serious!
The maid gritted her teeth and bowed. She couldn’t reject the princess. But they were just children, what if they got hurt? Would they not also be held responsible?
Aristia noticed the conflicted look on the maid’s face. She could understand what the maid was thinking. "We need your assistance."
The other servants in the kitchen were eavesdropping curiously while carrying out their tasks. The third princess said that they were going to cook, and it didn’t seem like she was joking.
Why would she even go through the trouble when all it would take was just a word from her and they would fulfill her command? Perhaps, she was just curious? But even then, noble children wouldn’t be curious about coming into the kitchen, would they? Not to talk of a princess. This was the first time they ever heard such a request.
