The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

I finished planting flower seeds with the gardener Fermes and went back to my room to take a bath and change clothes.

“Your bath is ready.”

I was surprised when Mai told me as soon as I entered the private room.
Because I never said a word about working with the soil in the garden.

When I asked why, it seems that Mei saw me coming back from the garden drenched in sweat (because I ran after Fermes and plowed the soil) and reported it to Mai.

After receiving the report from Mei, Mai prepared the bath.
Thanks to that, I felt refreshed.

Since it was noon, I went to the dining room, and around the time I finished eating lunch, Dolph brought a well-built beastman.

“Her Highness Princess Lilith, this is Bane, a Manul cat beastman. He is the mansion’s head chef.”

Bane, who was introduced by Dolph, has the air of a stubborn craftsman. He didn’t hide his frown, just bowed his head in a silent greeting.

“Nice to meet you, Bane, it was my first time eating the cuisine of the Tenar Kingdom, but your food was so delicious that I was moved. And the arrangement was beautiful, so I was even able to enjoy it with my eyes. Thank you.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you very much.”
When I honestly thanked him, he replied back bluntly.

“So, I would my brother in the Seiran Kingdom to eat it, but I wonder if you could share some monster meat with me. If possible, I’d like you to tell me a recipe so that he can eat it deliciously.”

“Huh? Monster meat for Seiran? Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious.”

When I looked into his eyes, Bane scratched his head and averted his eyes.

“That’s impossible. Even if you send it from here, the meat will rot. There’s no problem with fresh meat hunted on the frontier, but there’s no way a frontier knight would send meat to the Seiran Kingdom.”

“Because the meat is so delicious that they don’t want to send it?”
“Huh? No no, there are no fools who would send monster meat to those who call beastmen who eat monster meat savages.”

“I’m here.”
When I smiled and raised my hand, he was amazed and let out a sigh.
“. . . What do you think about human habits?”

“If the monster meat is accepted in the Seiran Kingdom, I don’t think humans can say that the beastmen are barbaric. The sense of discrimination against beastmen may change a little. That’s why I want my brother, the crown prince, to eat monster meat.”

“There’s no way the next king will eat it.”
“I enjoyed it.”

I think there’s no way my brother wouldn’t eat it if I ate it, but I thought so and tilted my head.

“. . . It’s impossible to send meat from here. I’m going back to work.”
“Bane, thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”

When I called out to the back of the figure who was walking away quickly, instead of replying, he just raised his hand without turning back.

I don’t have any plans yet, but there may be an opportunity to go to the frontier in the future.
Let’s order the meat at that time.

“Her Highness, please forgive Bane’s disrespect.”
When I was convinced by myself, Dolph’s apologetic voice brought me back to my senses.

“It’s fine, so don’t apologize. Chefs are like that even in different countries.”

When I was in the Seiran Kingdom, the chefs were frightened in front of the king and my brother, but they were blunt to me, but they were kind to me.

It makes me happy to feel the same quality in Bane.

“That kind of feeling means that Her Highness had something to do with the chef?”

Common royals don’t get involved with chefs. Dolph was the one who wondered the most.

“Yes, I was taught how to make sweets.”
“That is. . .”

It is impossible for royalty to enter the kitchen. That’s what it sounded like.

“It’s not like a princess, is it? But I wasn’t allowed out of the royal palace, so in return, I was allowed to do whatever I wanted to do inside the royal palace.”
“Is that so.”

I don’t know how it was received, but he made a complicated face.
As expected, I can’t say it’s because I’m a healer.

“If one day Bane allows me to enter the kitchen, I will treat everyone in the mansion with sweets handed down directly from the royal chef of the Seiran Kingdom. But. . .”

Will the princess be told not to do such a thing?
I was curious about Dolph’s reaction.

“I’m looking forward to that. His Highness Gresis also loves sweets, so I’m sure he’ll be happy.”

A better reaction than I expected.
Moreover, I received information about His Highness Gresis.

“Well, that’s good news. His Highness Gresis always has a difficult face, so I’d like to see his happy face.”
“That’s true.”

Dolph smiled bitterly and agreed.

Making sweets to make Prince Gresis smile.
I have a new goal.
