Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325: Drug All Of Them

It was ridiculous how sex could make her so giddy as if she were on top of the world and nothing could touch her, and at the same time, she was so embarrassed she wanted to hide away for the rest of her life.

Islinda was currently in the kitchen and it was as awkward as hell. The Fae who had walked in on them in the library was there too and she was tempted to ask Aurelia to send her away because she was embarrassed to death. However, Islinda knew doing so would only draw attention and in no time, the news would spread. The servants in this castle were not exactly good at keeping their mouths shut.

So Islinda was left with no other choice but to pretend nothing was wrong. She waved her hand across the table, "Is this all?"

Aurelia stepped closer, "It was hard to procure the ingredients but I followed the list. You can check them to make sure none is missing."

Islinda nodded her head, her eyes roving across the ingredients laid out on the table before stepping closer and checking them one by one.

Apart from Aurelia, there were a handful of Fae including Rosalind who was a constant reminder of what was about to go down tonight. The kitchen was so spacious it did not feel one bit congested and Islinda was a bit proud the Faeries were interested in learning her recipe.

"I believe everything is complete. However, the first step is soaking the black-eyed peas for about thirty minutes or till the skin swells. How do I –"

"Me! Me!"

A Fae stepped out with her hand raised high and looking so excited Islinda had to point at her, intrigued, "You can do it?"

"Even faster," The Fae declared, "Give me fifteen minutes at the latest,"

Islinda snorted, ready to tell the Fae that it was impossible to get the task accomplished in that amount of time only for her jaw to drop to the ground the next minute.

"By the gods...." Islinda stared at the scene in awe, finally understanding why Aldric prevented her from working in the kitchen. It was for her own safety.

The Fae who Islinda now confirmed to be a winter Faerie simply poured a bowl of water into the peas.

"Chaer," She called out to another Fae, "Help me out here,"

"Sure."

The balls were fried till golden brown and the result was fluffy fritters perfect for pairing with bread, dipping in hot sauce, served with salad, or eaten as it is.

"Here," Islinda gave them a demonstration as she took one of the Akara balls and placed it between a small loaf of bread, and ate it like a sandwich.

"Mmm," Islinda moaned in between a bite, "It tastes as good as I remember. You should have a bite." she urged the Faeries who watched her with anticipation.

The Faeries did not obey at first, casting anxious looks at Aurelia as if they weren’t used to eating food exclusively cooked for the prince.

"Didn’t you hear the young miss speak?" She commanded and they didn’t waste any minute digging into the food, following Islinda’s step and complimenting how good it tasted.

Although Islinda smiled and responded to their flattery, she couldn’t help but wonder how nice it would have been to drug all of them and get away from this prison. Unfortunately, Eli needed his staff to serve him.
