First Arc (King of Euphorion) – 48. Dark Agents Report

Meanwhile, at the White Moon Castle, Euphorion. Angel sat on the parlour room's sofa in annoyance but he still maintained his cool. Lady Ryia sat beside him while cutting a piece of pie for him. This was his fifth meeting today with a woman from the Queen candidates list that Chancellor Allan gave him. All the women were only given five to ten minutes but in fact, each meeting took almost half an hour. To make it worse they all brought cakes or sweets for him. Also, it was not only one or two, instead, but they also brought a lot of it until it filled the whole table.
'I don't understand why they all always bring sweets like this? Is this also a rumour that's spreading in Luminus City?' he thought.

Angel always limited himself when eating sweet foods. He only ate it occasionally as a tea snack, usually, Cley was the one who finished it. But now, after one week they gave him all of this, he didn't want to see a cake or sweets for at least a month!

Lady Ryia gave him a plate of Crown Egg & Coconut Pie.
"Your Majesty, I made this pie especially for you."

Angel sighed secretly. He already heard these words so many times, that the cakes were handmade and that he had to taste them. If he refused, they would only ask him to taste a little bit from each cake, just to find out whether he liked them or not. In the end, he couldn't refuse to taste them. He took the plate.
"Thank you."

He looked at the pie without expression. His stomach churned, but he still forced his hand to take a small fork next to the plate and cut off the tip of the pie to taste it a bit.

"How does it taste? Do you like it?" asked Lady Ryia curiously.

"It's delicious," he answered. He couldn't remember how many cakes he tasted today. Twenty? Thirty? His tongue could no longer distinguish between sweetness anymore. He couldn't even distinguish the difference between the cakes, they all tasted the same to him.

'Do I need to make forcing the king to eat cakes illegal? And make the sentence as same as the one of attempted murder. '

Lady Ryia was about to say something but Angel already knew what she was going to say. 'If it's so delicious you have to eat some more.' So he quickly interrupted her.
"I have no appetite right now. What if I bring these cakes to my study?" he added swiftly.

Lady Ryia looked disappointed because it meant that he wanted to return to the study room, but then she smiled. She realized her time was only five to ten minutes but he had accompanied her for almost thirty minutes. He also patiently tried every cake she gave him and kept chatting even though he looked bored. His attitude was warm and polite but also cold and distant. These two sides of him made many women attracted to him.
"Alright. Then I'll take my leave," she said as she stood up before she bowed and left, to which he replied with a slight nod.

'I'll give all of this to Cley, I don't want to see it again.' After she left, he turned his gaze to the servants.
"Deliver these cakes to my study and tell Sarah, she doesn't need to make me sweet food for a month." Then he stood up and walked toward the exit.
