RUTO'S SURPRISING REQUEST

"I DON'T want to see Ruto," Neoma said to Stephanie. Well, more like she can't see the Royal Chef out of fear of not being able to resist the young chef's food.  "Send him back to my father's palace."

Stephanie looked shocked by her order. "But Your Royal Highness, Chef Ruston Stroganoff has a letter from His Majesty. According to that letter, His Majesty is allowing the young Royal Chef to do what he must to bring back your appetite."

Argh, she didn't expect that from her Papa Boss.

Was her father worried about her?

Nah. He just probably wants me to eat so that I'll stop rebelling against his tyranny. Sending Ruto here is foul though.

After all, she knew deep in her heart that she couldn't refuse the young chef's yummy food.

But since Ruto went through all the troubles to visit me, I must send him away personally.

"Bring the Royal Chef to the royal parlor," she said to the head maid. "I will meet him after I freshened up."
