FVN Chapter 29: Cake
Chapter 29: Cake
♦ (Roxanne's POV) ♦
After a relaxing bath session, I quickly brushed through my raven-colored hair and straightened it. I drew a thin line around my light green eyes and refreshed the rest of my daily care routine. After selecting a beautiful dress with my maid from the wardrobe, I laid it out on the bed without putting it on and headed out of the room towards the kitchen.
I decided to wait to wear the dress until I reached the palace to avoid getting it dirty.
Today, I planned to make a beautiful cake for him. As I entered the kitchen, I ordered everyone else get out and donned my apron before heading to the counter. Humming a beautiful melody, I tried to make the most beautiful cake I've ever made, testing all my culinary skills.
While making the cake, I thought about how Ethan would react to it and whether he would like it, which brought a smile to my face.
Finally, after baking the cake, I immediately put the cake in a crate and used the ice magic to cool them. Leaving the kitchen, I headed back to my room and continued to think about him while dressing. Unfortunately, despite all my efforts, the percentage of his love for me had only increased slightly, but Pipkin told me not to rush.
It was also very difficult to talk to Pipkin for years because she was so tired, and it was normal that creating such an opportunity for me was exhausting even for a being like her. But still, I was worried because I couldn't seem to capture Ethan's interest. When I first met him, his interest percentage was negative, but fortunately, it had now reached fifteen percent.
Although it was growing, it was still very, very slow.
Anyway, no need to let it affect my morale!
Sooner or later, the day will come when I will win my beloved, and while thinking about all the things I want to do with him, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"I will do everything this time to win you over and bear your children in my womb, my love...! But I wish you were only mine, or I could imprison you in a distant dungeon just to make you see only me... Ah, but a perfect man like you will have many wives and concubines... How painful! But at least this time, I will aim to be your favorite consort... My dear love...!"
*A few hours later*
I arrived at the palace in a carriage with the cake box in my hand, but I couldn't find Ethan in the training area where he usually spends most of his time. The palace was so large that finding him would be very difficult, so I decided to ask the servants.
After hours of
I quickly entered my room, undressed, and entered the bath prepared for me. I dipped my feet into the bathtub made of beautiful stones and waited for my body to adjust to the cold water. Honestly, if I had wanted, the servants could have boiled water for me, but even in my previous life, I hadn't particularly liked hot baths.
I had always preferred the pleasure that ice-cold water gave me, and it seemed this habit continued in this life as well.
I immersed myself in the ice-cold water and enjoyed the sensation it gave through every pore. Using my habit of spending a long time in the bath, I began to review my thoughts and plans. Now was the time to put one of the most important steps in my plans into action...
