Volume 9 Chapter 43: Dessert Section

"Cuu!" "Ruby, don't jump on my face like that." Keith picked the baby from the scruff of his neck. That was when he placed him on his shoulder. The little fella continued to snuggle onto him.

"Yes, yes, I love you too." Keith patted the baby's head.

"He's really attached to you."

"Mmhmm," Even Keith was surprised by this as well; he wasn't the contractor either.

"Anyways, Kid. Can you get me one of those in my duchy?" Cedric immediately asked the boy without hesitation. The response from the boy was a tilt of his head, "Isn't the bakery about to open in a week or so?" The last time he checked, the bakery had yet to be opened.

There was no need to add the chocolate factory.

"But I want that chocolate there as well!" Cedric had a box of truffles in his hand, "This would definitely become a hit in the duchy!"

"Yes, I know that." Keith wasn't going to deny it, "But it's also in its testing phase." He planned to add many more recipes before he made another store. Plus, it was too much for the duchy. Adding too much at the same time would be dangerous. It was only possible because he was doing this in the city for quite some time.

"Uhhh," Cedric groaned.

"Just suck it up," Lionel shook his head as he sipped on his coffee. That only caused Cedric to glare.

"Well, I'm going to go take a nap here," Keith quickly jumped on top of the hammock and started to relax. That was something he wasn't going to let go of. With how much Cadmus hogged it, he wanted some time. And he wasn't the only one doing this, as Lionel and Cedric did the same! He had made a couple of hammocks for everyone to relax around the resting area.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Lionel sipped on a coffee while reading a book. At the same time, Cedric continued to lean into it, "I have to get this for my home," Swaying back and forth inside the hammock was quite a soothing sensation. He needed to get it to do so.

"Ruby! Where are you?"

"He's here!"

"What are you doing?" Carolyn and Krystal came out to see the three resting so easily.

"Resting, it's pretty nice out here." Keith grinned. But as he said this, that was when the princess had jumped into his hammock!

"...What are you doing?"

"I want to sway around."

"Are you kidding me?" There are so many others around.

"Excuse me," Krystal jumped in as well.

"..." Keith was left speechless. But that was when Carolyn retorted, "This hammock has enough space to fit around five people. There's more than enough room for dainty people like us."

"...Fine. But I'm going to be snoring." Keith put his book down and started to rest. That only made Carolyn giggle as she hugged his body. Krystal wasn't that forward, but she clutched his arm.

"…." Did you guys forget about us? There were two grandpas right here.

...

It was the day of opening the new shop. And there was already excitement in the air. Not one, but two in a week of one another. The young master was not playing around.

"Thank you everyone for coming here today! I hope you all enjoy what I have in store for you today!" Even he was surprised by how fast he had made them.

"Let's welcome the new store!" Keith grinned as he opened up the bakery. When he did so,

"There's also so many people around here." It wasn't only one store that this was occurring in. Cedric glanced around and noticed how there were

"It's always been like that. Sweets are quite the thing as well." When it came to sweets, they would do the same thing. That was something all of them were pretty interested in.

"How long do we have to wait out here again?"

"Probably half an hour or so." The people who had waited for the bakery to open were num with it.

"What the? That long," Cedric's eyes widened. Violet was the same as well, but she understood with so many people.

They were true to their words as they entered half an hour later. But it was all worth it as the different colors they saw were quite interesting.

"It's a contrast to the bakery." A warm and soft atmosphere vs a cold and gentle one. It was quite an exciting feeling. That was not alone, as there were so many variations of food.

"Hello, what would you like?" One clerk greeted.

"There's so many," Everyone glanced. There were some flavors they didn't try during the testing phase as well.
