Personal Meal

"Well, i want you to make me a special meal... it doesn't have to be so big but make it tasty..." - Percy replied with a smirk that led to Alice thinking about it for a while, she felt like she was being tricked but the idea of making a meal for just one person convinced her so she started putting on her apron.

"Okay, i can do that... how much time do i have?" - Alice asked while she put on the apron Percy gave her, and after mindlessly staring at her putting on the apron he remembered when his special event took place.

"Oh yes, you have about one hour so you better start now if you are going to make it delicious" - Percy responded, already a little distracted by Alice's cute outfit, she got scared for a second from the amount of time she had but after thinking how she was going to cook Percy's meal she calmed down and started planning what to do.

"So you are trusting my cooking skills to make you a great meal in an hour?... why did you think of that, you don't even know if i cook or not..." - Alice asked skeptically as she started looking around the kitchen to find the tools she was going to need.

"I don't really know if you cook or not but you give me the impression that you know what you are doing and in reality you are very good at cooking... i can feel it..." - Percy replied with a playful smile that Alice couldn't see as she had her back turned to search for ingredients but even when she was a bit busy she liked Percy's reply, she found funny the way he said he felt like she is a good cook, mostly because it was true but also it felt nice getting that sort of compliment so she smiled a little without the king noticing.

"Alright then, i'll leave you to it and i guess i will return in an hour to see what you have prepared" - Percy said as he realized he wasn't going to get a response from Alice since she was already getting busy with cooking his personal meal so after chuckling he left the kitchen to do some other things around the castle and wait for Alice to be finished cooking.

For a moment, right after Percy left, Alice considered the idea of escaping since he wasn't there anymore but before she could make a move two orc guards appeared and blocked the entrance, they were sent to supervise her and make sure she didn't do anything other than cook a good meal for the king, and also prevent her from putting poison on the food or something.

So as Alice realized she had no way out of the kitchen she accepted her job and started cooking, even though she spent the last few months making basic meals with her sister to survive as they slowly sneaked in The Wicked Crimson she was quite experienced at cooking from before they got the quest of assassinating Percy, she would often make delicious meals for Faye when they trained at Skylight City so she was hoping she could remember her skills to make a delicious meal for Percy, even though she didn't really want to she was curious to see if she still could cook so she was determined to do her job, not for Percy, but herself.

She spent a whole hour intensely cooking, mixing all sorts of exotic vegetables with the finest meat she could find, she also used a lot of condiments and created her own special sauce to give the meal an extra layer of tastiness, and right before she finished an orc guard walked up to her and told her the time was up, she managed to get everything done before the orc took it away from her so after her job was done she could only watch as her magnificent creation was being taken to another part of the castle, she was very proud of the meal she had created but she got a little anxious from not knowing what was going to happen or how Percy was going to receive it so she decided to wait in the kitchen until he could come to see her.

The personal meal she created was being taken to the huge dinner room in the middle of the castle, where after a lot of preparation it was all decorated and ready to receive all the guests Percy had come over, he invited most of his friends but also authorative figures like generals or other kings to discuss some evil stuff he was planning, he didn't have to wait much for them as some of them had arrived right on time, he chatted with them while they waited for the others to arrive and that's when he not only noticed Alice's meal was ready but also that one of his guests that he was so eager to see had come to the event, he inmediately got excited so he tried to talk with them, it was a fancy demon lady that had caught Percy's attention for a while now and seeing how she was seemingly alone he took the opportunity to talk to her and even flirt a little to hopefully take her to bed tonight but they couldn't talk for that much as all the guests had arrived and the dinner was served so everyone sat on the table and prepared to eat the huge amount of food that was served.

It seemed like all of his guests were enjoying the food but that wasn't important to Percy, he was eager to taste the meal Alice had prepared for him so he didn't waste time to stab the juicy piece of meat that was on the middle of his plate with his fork and get a taste of how good of a cook Alice really was. Without hesitating it for one second Percy inmediately fell in love with the food, he didn't even think if she had poisoned it or done something bad to it, he was too fascinated by his meal that he could only continue eating it with joy, the combination of flavors that Alice had created filled Percy with excitement, he honestly believed he was tasting the best food he had ever eaten in his life so it would be an understatement to say that he liked it, he absolutely loved it, and so much that he devoured it in no time, leaving him with just one regret, that was not being able to enjoy his amazing food for longer.

After the dinner ended Percy called Alice to come out of the kitchen and while being escorted by the two orc guards she was brought to the dinner room where Percy was waiting for her, she got a little nervous as she didn't know what he thought of her food and she couldn't really tell for his emotionless expression that made her worry a little.

"So, i see that you have finished eating... what did you think about it?" - Alice asked in a slightly shy manner as she was more nervous than ever to find out about Percy's opinion on her food, and after he smiled a little, which only confused her even more as she couldn't tell if he was pleased or not, he finally decided to respond.
