Head Sage Yue and Crown Princess Pica were rendered speechless. Looking at their shocked expressions, Mana had to fight to stop herself from laughing out loud.
Crown Princess Pica was the one who actually regained her senses first. "You…made it yourselves…?" she asked in a daze. "For…me?"
Mana and Raven nodded.
Head Sage Yue had also recovered by now and there was a frown on his face. "Why is my son being made to work in the kitchen like a lowly cook?" he demanded. "I do not approve of it!"
"Oh? So you don't want our pastries?" Mana asked, raising an eyebrow mockingly at the man.
Crown Princess Pica laughed. "Don't bother with this sour faced wuss, my dear children. He has absolutely no appreciation for the good things in life!" she mocked.
And then, without waiting for anyone, she took a box of pastries from Raven and opened it. A tantalising aroma of vanilla and chocolate permeated the air. Mana and Raven had thoughtfully put a dessert fork in the box.
