Gourmet Emperor : Building A Nation

I pull the blanket to cover our naked body. Under the blanket, my hands hug Silvie tightly from behind and kiss her neck too. The warmth of her body and herbs smell from the oil is giving a relaxing feeling to me. Without I realize, I already fall asleep while hugging her in my arms under that aromatic smells.

I am awakening when feeling something warm touching my lips. When I open my eyes, Silvie already wakes up and giving me good morning kiss as usual.

"Good morning Ikki"

"Good morning Silvie, did the sun already rise yet?"

I give her a warm kiss as a reply to her kiss.

"Um, not yet, but the rooster already singing at the backyards"

"Ugh, that's the coldest time in the morning. Silvie, hug me tightly please?"

Silvie giggling when hear what I'm asking from her, but she's doesn't mind and hug me tighter. I also hug Silvie tighter and feel the warmth of her body in my skins. With us hug each other, we continue to kissing passionately before we let go of each other mouth and start talking again

"Ikki…sorry…last night I fall asleep"

"It's alright, you must be very tired after we walking all days"

"Um, but Ikki massaging is very good…. I feel my body refresh after wake up this morning"

"Glad to hear that, but your front part haven't got chance to oiled like your back"

"Can Ikki put that oil now?"

"That will not effective Silvie, a few hours later we will have a bath and the oil will be wiped from your body. The best time is before you sleep"

"Um, okay. That's mean tonight you must put that oil to me again Ikki"

"No problem"

"Ikki, what we will do today?"

"Actually there're two places that I want to see, first is the place where the rice grows, second is the place where you see the cocoa tree grows"

"Ikki…you want to make that chocolate?"

"Um, if the ingredients available I can make it. But I still need sugar and milk for that"

"I can get milk from the cow stable, but for sugar….i don't know where to get it"

"If I can find the plant to make sugar, I can get sugar from there"

"You can make sugar Ikki?"

"Of course, but if I can find the plant"

"What plant is that Ikki?"

"I can extract sugar from beet, sugar cane, palm sap, or maple sap. I can get something sweet like sugar from there"

"Sorry…I don't know what kind of tree is that"

"Um, I see. Can we go to the cocoa tree today? Maybe we can find the plant Ikki looking for in there"

"Sounds good. So settled, today we go to that place. You know that place right?"

"Um, I know, but it's in a different part of the forest"

"I like to see new places, who knows I can find something edible and can be cooked to make delicious dish later"

"Okay, we will go there after take a bath"

"Sure. But it's still a couple hours before we can go to the pond and take a bath. What should we do now Silvie? Sleep again?"

"I already wake up, besides if I'm sleeping again, who knows when I will wake up later"

"Hmm, so? what do you want?"

"Can we do something like in the lagoon before?"
