A few days later, on the day of the Grand Duke’s party. Edelle visited the grand ducal residence much earlier than the party's start time, arriving early in the morning. She immediately followed the grand ducal butler to the kitchen to check if preparations were proceeding well. "Miss, am I really allowed to cook here?" Gale whispered nervously. Despite his build suggesting he could take down a cow with his bare hands, he was quite timid. Edelle looked at him with exasperation and…-

As the sunset began to color the sky, Edelle returned to the Count's residence in the Grand Duke's carriage. Butler Reynolds, who had tensed upon spotting the grand ducal crest engraved on the large carriage, welcomed Edelle as she disembarked alone. "Welcome back, Miss." "Yes, what's for dinner?" "It's being prepared. Gale says he'll make a noodle dish with the perilla oil he pressed today, along with the meatballs prepared this morning." "Perilla oil sounds amazing!" Edelle beamed,…

The door burst open noisily as someone rushed into the shop. Before Edelle could even see the person's face, Eli stepped in front of her. He already had a knife pointed at the stranger's throat. "What's going on?" Edelle asked as she grabbed Eli's arm and pushed it down. The man, who had been hesitating until the menacing blade disappeared back into its sheath, blinked rapidly. "P-please put a ribbon on my shop too." "......What did you say?" "I-I'll pay you whatever amount!" The man…

As Edelle pulled the door open with force, a heavy aroma of spices wafted out. "Hello, Jackie!" "Eddie?" A young boy named Jackie, who was polishing glass bottles behind the counter, greeted Edelle. She approached him, leaving Eli distracted by the wall filled with spices. "Where's your grandfather?" "By now, he should have crossed the Ravelia border." "Already? Ah, I need lemons too!" "You're planning to make lemon salt, right?" Edelle nodded with a clearly disappointed…

Bread with a crispy exterior and moist interior, freshly baked in the morning. The hollowed-out center filled with sautéed onions and meat. "Finally......" Edelle swallowed hard. The aroma of sautéed onions rising from the sandwich in her hand made her feel dizzy. Finally, the people of Fonete were putting cooked meat instead of cold ham between bread. And even sautéing onions with it! "I can't resist onions sautéed in meat drippings." Edelle quickly took a large bite of the…

'Why does he have to be so handsome......' Edelle was feeling the insurmountable wall of his appearance, as imposing as his high rank, when the moment was interrupted. "Forgive my late introduction. I am Monty Swift, in service to His Highness the Grand Duke. His Highness merely wishes to ask for an explanation of what situation occurred and what you experienced. Isn't that right, Your Highness?" Monty cleared his throat and gave the Grand Duke a meaningful look. It was a signal to cooperate so…

"Well done!" "What do you know." Edelle grumbled at her brother Durant, who always praised her first before anything else. The siblings were on their way to Jo's Sandwich Shop. They were going to hang a new sign engraved with the ribbon. Durant, who had heard about what happened in the reception room a few days ago, grinned while carrying the new sign under his arm. "Why wouldn't I know? You're feeling regretful right now, Eddie. You rejected the offer, but you still have lingering…

Kyra's face clearly showed she was teasing. She added as if it were obvious, "Of course I knew about it." "Why didn't you tell me!" "You didn't know?" "How would I know?" Edelle exclaimed in shock. Kyra hadn't expected this reaction; she blinked rapidly before subtly averting her gaze. Edelle widened her eyes at her friend. "How could you not say a word to me?" "I thought you knew and were just pretending not to......" "How could that be possible......" Edelle sighed deeply in…

The next day, in Fonete's central plaza. "The weather is nice~ My mood is nice~" Edelle sat on the edge of the fountain, humming a little tune. Her modest green dress swayed with the movement of her tapping feet. Everyone passing by looked fondly at her as she smiled brightly at each person. "Edelle?" Edelle turned her head at the familiar voice. Lucas was striding toward her with obvious delight on his face. However, his expression quickly soured when he realized she was…

People who curiously tried the peach sandwich quickly became regulars, and 〈Jo's Sandwich Shop〉 was reborn as an incredibly popular restaurant. Now Edelle was on her way to place a third ribbon on the shop that had just released a new sandwich menu. "Miss." "What?" "Why do you always sneak around like this?" Edelle slightly lifted her hood and looked back at Liam. His gaze shifted to the darkened shopping district streets as night fell. "The young master is always curious too, but…
