< Prince Hardin (4) >
Raven Nigel Kairin Bahrain was taken aback by his innocent smile.
‘…Well, disciple…’
‘No, Sang-woo. I think I made a mistake…?’
‘Master…?’
Talking about eating meat in front of the imperial family?
Actually, this was very rude.
If the authority of the emperor, who maintained the absolute monarchy, was preserved, it was a rash remark that would have nothing to say even if he ran away immediately.
Because of this, Bahrain, who had a smile on his face, heard Sang-woo’s words and a tendon sprouted from his forehead.
“What an imprudent…”
He was about to step out to say something.
“Ha ha ha that’s right. When the meat is cold, it doesn’t taste good.”
Prince Hardin invited everyone to eat with a smile.
On the outside, he seemed really unconcerned.
The inside was filled with bitterness.
‘Losing the status of the imperial family… is it already so popular?’
Sang-woo grew up in a democratic society from the beginning.
That’s why it’s only natural that he doesn’t know the courtesy or etiquette of the royal family.
In addition, Sang-woo had a perception in his head that he was no different from a normal person now that he was a prince who had fled because of the rebellion anyway.
So what I said was insignificant.
In the end, because of that remark, the prince was able to realize that he had lost his authority.
Although Sang-woo didn’t mean to hit the prince with a fact.
Even if it wasn’t for Sang-woo’s rudeness, everyone in the present room knew it.
The Urencia Empire is not gone yet, but the Urencia dynasty is already over.
‘Prince…’
Seeing Prince Hardin with slightly drooping shoulders, Nigel’s feelings became complicated.
The reason why the prince came here must be to seek his aid.
This meant that he would inevitably come into conflict with the Duke of Bismarck, who was trying to establish a new dynasty by taking control of the imperial family.
‘It’s a civil war…’
It’s been less than a month since his older brother Raven came back to help the fallen manor.
Even so, the help was powerful, and thanks to it, vitality is circulating in the Raven estate that was just dying. War?
Nigel couldn’t see it.
So, I had already made up my mind.
I decided to refuse the prince’s request.
However, Nigel’s long years of experience did not make it easy for him to think of how to talk about it.
While everyone in the same space is lost in their own thoughts.
The prince opened his mouth as he watched the unfamiliar form of grilled meat being cooked right in front of his eyes.
“Then let’s eat. But it’s meat grilled right in front of you. That’s strange. Can I eat it right away?”
Bahrain, whose complexion had hardened at the prince’s question, stepped forward and opened her mouth.
“yes. majesty. This food is called Samgiyovsar, and it is a unique recipe brought from the other world by this man named Jeong.Sang.Woo.”
Bahrain, who manages to remember Sang-woo’s explanation once, and struggles to pronounce samgyeopsal.
However, perhaps because of Sang-woo’s careless reaction, it seemed that Sang-woo was displeased with saying his name with such force.
“Ah… but you mean that Jung Sang-woo came from the other world? Is that the Earth?”
Hana Bahrain’s prince is surprised to hear information instead of emotions in the words.
Fortunately, he also seemed to know some information about Earth.
“yes. It is the culinary culture of the district. Although the custom of grilling and eating directly from the outside may seem primitive and barbaric, the taste is amazing. Try it.”
Bahrain, who was enjoying a barbecue party until the prince arrived, explained.
“For some reason, I thought it was not a common appearance here in the Urencia Empire. It reminds me of an elf at first glance. Of course, knowing that there are no elves with such muscularity, I thought I was curious, but I thought they were earthlings…”
The prince looks at Sang-woo in wonder.
Hana Sang-woo’s complexion looked disapproving.
‘Stop saying no, when are you going to eat meat?’
The meat was on the verge of burning, but it was frustrating.
But who is Sang-woo?
He wasn’t just watching the meat burn.
It was because the mana that had already been released from his body was invisibly finely wrapped around the meat and blocking the heat.
Therefore, the meat was resting quietly in a properly cooked state.
‘Hurry up and eat some meat. Everyone is only looking at you.’
While Sang-woo was cursing inwardly.
The prince finally picked up a fork, as if he had noticed Sang-woo’s inner thoughts.
“Anyway, the meat looks delicious. Cooking should always be on time. Let’s all eat.”
With those words, the prince stabbed a piece of pork belly on the iron plate of the barbecue in front of him with his fork.
Then, the prince carefully brought it to his mouth.
Ahhhhh…
The prince, who put the meat in his mouth, didn’t react much at first.
It looks like it’s just chewing meat.
As he chewed on the meat, his pupils gradually widened.
‘What is it? What is this…’
The fat part of pork belly that has already melted properly during the cooking process.
The oil spread out as he chewed and covered the entire prince’s tongue.
Then, a feast of savory and greasy feeling that fills the mouth.
Prince Hana has been on the run for several days without being able to eat properly.
In other words, the taste of greasy did not work for the hungry prince, who had finally encountered a proper meal.
It just came with a deep flavor.
In addition, even the lean meat part of the marbled pork belly, which is no different from the fat part, melted gently, giving the prince’s mouth a sense of ecstasy.
Gulp-
While feeling the taste, the prince suddenly found himself having eaten all the meat.
‘…it melted. The meat melted.’
The prince regretted that the ecstasy had disappeared.
But there was no need to be sorry.
Because there was a lot of well-roasted meat in front of him, waiting for the choice of a fork.
So he again pierced a piece of meat in front of his eyes with his fork.
Yum-
Before the meat even went into his mouth, the prince’s tongue came out of his mouth as if to greet him, and touched the meat first.
Just like meeting a lover in love.
And the tongue disappeared into the dark mouth along with the meat.
The secret meeting between tongue and meat started like that.
The prince involuntarily closed his eyes and savored the deep pleasure.
“Umm…”
He seemed to have forgotten his surroundings.
The prince unknowingly swallowed the silence of admiration and chewed the meat.
There was not a single word ‘delicious’, but similar thoughts passed through the heads of everyone around him as they looked at his expression and his slightly closed eyes.
‘Looks like you’re right in the mouth. Well, this is delicious.’
Raven knew the taste of Earth’s pork belly, especially the A+ grade giant honey bee that Sang-woo bought for him, so he responded calmly.
The prince just inhaled the meat while playing with the fork eagerly as the meal resumed with the fork.
‘Pork belly… It’s really good. The prince fell in love too.’
‘You look really delicious. Be cute.’
And thanks to Sang-woo, Nigel and Kairin have just been introduced to samgyeopsal.
The two of them were familiar with the taste of pork belly and barbecue, so the reaction was as expected.
Of course, the two forks were also moving non-stop.
‘You eat so deliciously. He ate less of the imperial chef’s food because he had no appetite.’
Only the old Bahrain stood there, looking at the prince without even holding a fork, with an expression of sadness at being a fugitive and joy at serving delicious food.
And lastly, Sangwoo.
-ha ha ha. The prince’s samgyeopsal tastes like porridge, right? right?
He asked triumphantly if he was excited to serve delicious dishes to the people around him.
In fact, it has to be.
People who have cooked or not have a desire to recommend delicious food to people around them.
Even though it seems that the selfish nature of modern people will eat alone.
This is because humans are social animals and have the nature to share good things or better knowledge and advanced information when they are discovered.
Especially when it comes to chefs, that kind of mentality is strong, but Sang-woo also enjoys enjoying that kind of mood lately since he has more time to spare.
Of course, rather than cooking himself, he went to restaurants and served food to Woohyun and his family.
Every time people around me ate deliciously and admired me, I felt a sense of satisfaction and satisfaction as if I was recognized.
And after coming over to the planet Tibern and going over to the Raven territory, such hobbies became more active.
There is only one reason.
Because it was a different culture.
That’s why Earth’s cuisine was better served.
‘Chicken was the starting point.’
The day when Raven’s return was known and received a great cheer from the locals.
A chicken event (?) that Sangwoo almost swept over chicken restaurants and factories in Korea and internationally.
The menu selection was also sprinkled with the chicken I always ate without much worry, but what is this?
The reaction of the young people was explosive.
That’s also true, although they also had a cooking technique called deep-frying, because the colorful seasoning techniques didn’t develop much.
In addition, the taste of Korean-style chicken that is seasoned and fried or fried chicken is seasoned.
It was nothing more than a bombardment of the taste buds of the Ravens who were not immune to MSG.
Thanks to this, support for Sang-woo and the Raven duchy increased exponentially.
Of course, it’s still not as good as when he was famous before, but at this rate, the hope that he might regain his former glory could be seen gradually settling in the hearts of the people of the region.
And Sang-woo, who watched everything from the sidelines.
The sense of pride and achievement that came out of it was great, so at the time of the chicken event, he spent quite a bit of money, but Sang-woo didn’t waste the money at all.
Rather, even after that, it was not possible to target all the territories, but it was in a state of serving food only to the people of the Raven duchy.
Today’s barbecue party also started as part of that.
“…really delicious.”
The prince opened his eyes and answered Sang-woo’s question.
However, his gaze did not turn to Sang-woo.
I just point the meat in front of my eyes.
Then he dipped the meat again and brought it to his mouth.
A prince who quietly munches.
Certainly because he belonged to the royal family, his appearance radiated elegance.
So Sang-woo couldn’t bear to ask what he said again and quietly tapped the arm of Kai-rin next to him.
-You mean what Prince Kairin just said is delicious?
-yes. Master. You said it was really delicious.
Kairin answered Sangwoo’s question quietly.
-As expected… Samgyeopsal is the best. right?
-that’s right. It is very delicious.
-Thumbs up?
-yes. Thumbs up.
Kairin managed to remember the gesture Sang-woo taught him and clumsily raised his thumb.
Sang-woo smiles at that sight.
He patted Kairin on the back as if he was proud.
– Iyol. I don’t even know how to do it.
-lol.
– Because you did well, eat a lot of meat. You have to eat, work hard and train.
-yep!
Kairin and Sangwoo eat meat again.
And the prince, who was eating meat, suddenly looked at the two in a strange way.
‘Are they lovers…’
The quiet conversation between the two proceeded through the interpreter was not heard by the prince.
So it seemed as if lovers were whispering love between each other.
‘…….’
The prince felt somewhat frustrated.
As he looked at Kai-rin and Sang-woo with a complicated feeling, Sang-woo suddenly felt his gaze and smiled.
-There is a lot of meat. eat a lot.
Then, Sang-woo opened a sub-space.
Because the grilled meat was gradually disappearing.
Then, the meat stocked there in advance was poured into the garden in a packed state.
Chuck Chuck Chuck-
An enormous amount, almost like two or three pigs put together.
It was so large that an entire village could eat it.
However, most of the people here are superhumans and knights.
Since they were good enough to eat 5 servings alone, this amount of meat was digestible enough.
And Sang-woo, who took out the meat, distributed the meat to the knights who were gathered in another barbecue grill next to him with mental power.
-Everyone, there is a lot of meat, so please eat a lot. Let’s eat a full stomach today!
“Waaaaaaaaa!”
Upon seeing the meat, all the gaping knights cheered.
Perhaps because they were wild males, the resonant sound was extraordinary, and the mansion of the Duke of Raven reverberated.
Like male lions following the leader of their pack, the reaction of the knights who saw the food of meat was simple.
Unbeknownst to them, they had a crush on Sang-woo and followed him.
Sang-woo had no intention of leading them at all.
And seeing Sang-woo and the knights like that, Raven Nigel and Bahrain all admired.
‘How the strong recognize the strong. After all, the disciple has talent.’
‘…Sangwoo knows how to win people’s hearts. Really, my older brother has a good disciple.’
‘It’s not as good as His Highness the Prince…but it’s a great quality.’
and the prince.
Looking at Sang-woo, he felt something he had never felt before.
‘That’s…’
Prince Hardin knew what it was, but he tried hard not to recall it.
But that was then.
“Jung Sang-woo!”
“Jung Sang-woo!”
“Jung Sang-woo!”
“Jung Sang-woo!”
After cheering, the knights chanted Sang-woo’s name as if they were getting excited.
“Jung Sang-woo!”
“Jung Sang-woo.”
“Jung Sang-woo…”
“Stop…”
Then suddenly, when they realized that the prince was there, their cheers died down.
It was extremely rude to call another noble or person by name in front of the imperial family.
However, the actions of those knights made it possible for the prince to accurately recall something he was trying to deny.
‘…qualities of a monarch.’
Sang-woo had a glimpse of the qualities of a monarch that the prince himself did not feel.
