After that jealousy-inducing scene, they were forced to witnessed just now, it was time to get back to the main topic of their discussion.

Elmont curiously asked, "So what you mean to say is that there should be delicious food to be served that can satisfy Selina's stomach?"

"Yes," Angel nodded her head, but she then quickly added, "You should also be the one to cook the dishes, or else it would ruin the essence of what you wanted to express,"

"Eh?" Elmont was immediately dumbfounded after hearing Angel's words. His confidence that he had just built up after hearing that Angel has a way to help her instantly diminished as he remembered just how bad his cooking skill was. In fact, calling it bad is not the appropriate word to use, rather he should call it the epitome of dark cuisine! Even a homeless person wouldn't dare eat his food, let alone serve it to Selina. He can't even dare imagine just how she would feel after tasting his cooking. But he's certain about one thing; it would just make everything a lot more worst than what it already is.

"Why? Is there a problem with your cooking skill?" Angel still decided to ask although she could somewhat expect already that Elmont's cooking skill is bad just from seeing his expression alone. 

"How about I'll let all of you taste a dish I personally cook?" Elmont suggested as he really doesn't want to hear them encouraging him without knowing the real situation. Once they taste the food that he had personally cooked, they would certainly not bother blindly encouraging him anymore as they could easily expect already that even years, or even decades, of learning, it wouldn't still help improve his cooking skill, even the tiniest of improvement would be next to impossible for him to achieve. It would be akin to a miracle if that really becomes a reality.

"Let's go," Elmont said as he then began leading everyone to the kitchen. Inside his mind, a plan was slowly being brewed 

Along the way to the kitchen, they unexpectedly meet with Princess Tifa and Princess Tifa who both had just finished training with their new weapons. 

Princess Tifa immediately scuffed after seeing Leo and the others, while on the other hand, Princess Tila smiled in delight as she quickly asked, "Are you thinking of doing something fun again?" 

"It should be considered as one," Elmont turned to look at the others.

"The more the merrier," Angel nodded her head with a smile.

"Okay..." Elmont nodded his head as he then continued leading everyone to the kitchen.

Soon, everyone arrived at the kitchen. 

Elmont quickly dismissed the chefs currently resting in the kitchen, telling them that he wanted to cook something for everyone to taste. 

As soon as the chefs heard that Seventh Prince Elmont wanted to cook food for Guild Leader Loki and the others, their faces immediately turned ugly and a trace of sympathy could be seen in their eyes. 

All of them can't help but imagine similar faces and reactions that they have shown back then when they first tasted his Highness Elmont's dish. It was really something that they will never forget in their entire lifetime. 

Unfortunately though, such a memory could only remain in their minds as his Highness Elmont ordered them to keep their lips tight. 

The moment such rumor about his Highness Elmont's cooking spreads throughout the entire Evergreen royal family's castle, all of them will not be able to escape the consequences, thus no one dared to say a word about it until now.

As such, without any hesitation, they quickly left the kitchen to his Highness Elmont and his friends.

"Are you really sure that we should just leave them there?" A thin chef decided to ask. 

"No matter how much I wanted to tell them the truth, I don't really want to pay the consequences that his Highness Elmont had warned us," The head chef said before gulping down a mouthful of saliva. He quickly added, "You guys also agree with that, right?"

Without any hesitation, the rest of the chefs nodded their heads. 

"Yes!"

"I agree!"

"Heck, I don't want to lose my job as a royal chef. The wage here is nothing compared to all the past jobs I've worked in the past!"

The thin chef still can't help but worry as he said, "But her Highness Tifa and her Highness Tila are both there right now. If we just leave the both of them there to taste that dark cuisine made by his Highness Elmont, there would also be no escaping the consequences for us,"

"You don't have to worry, her Highness Tifa and her Highness Tila will both understand their brother," The head chef comforted before he leads everyone as far away from the kitchen. 

"I hope so..." 

.....

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen. 

The moment all the chefs left, Elmont then immediately informed everyone to wait for him at the small tasting area of the kitchen until he finish his cooking. 

Still remaining completely oblivious of the fact that they have just unknowingly stepped inside Satan's castle, everyone quickly went to sit on their chairs and waited for Elmont to finish cooking.

It didn't take that long for everyone to start smelling a weird fragrance from Elmont's cooking. 

As soon as everyone smelled that weird fragrance, their faces instantly turned ugly as they looked at each other. 

"I believe that his Highness Elmont is just cooking a dish similar to a stinky tofu," Elvis said, though deep inside of him he was having trouble believing his words right now. 

It wasn't only Elvis feeling such a way deep inside, everyone was also feeling the same. Still, in the end, everyone nodded their heads and believe that what Elvis' had just said is correct.

How wrong they were though...

At first, the weird fragrance was somewhat similar to a stinky tofu, but then as time passes, it slowly became something so unbearable to smell. 

While Elmont was busy cooking a dish in the kitchen, everyone was already having trouble breathing. 

"Can someone please open the f*cking window!" Leo can't help but swear as he really can't take the unbearable smell anymore.

To everyone's disbelief, there is actually no window in the kitchen. Aside from a large pipe where the smoke from the dishes being cooked in the kitchen could dispersed from, there were no other places that they could hope to get fresh air. 

"I swear that I'll make father built a window in the kitchen!" Princess Tifa said as she struggles to walk towards the door, their last remaining hope.

Unexpectedly though, the moment Princess Tifa tried to open the door of the kitchen, she soon realized that it was actually locked. The worst thing was, they could actually supposedly open this door from both the inside and the outside of the kitchen, but unfortunately, it seems as if something is blocking them from opening the door. 

"Step away your highness Tifa, leave this opening of the door to the professionals like us!" Elvis said as he casted a Magic spell to open the door. But it was useless as the door still didn't budge open. 

"Let us do it!" Iasiah said as he nodded his head at Nightingale. The both of them quickly put their hands in front as they casted a Magic spell with a combination of both Ice Element Mana and Dark Element Mana. But just like Elvis, the Magic spells they used didn't do anything to the door.

"Let me have a try!" General Luke said as he put his hand forward and casted a Magic spell to open the door. 

In the end, the door still didn't open. 

Leo and the others immediately tried to cast their own Magic spell to try and open the door. 

However, no matter what Magic spell they used, it still causes no effect to the door. It was as if there is a Galaxy-level Mage blocking the door that's why they can't open it.

Without anyone noticing, Leo summoned a Wind Elemental in a toy soldier form and made it slip through the small gap under the door so that they would know what's causing the door to be locked this way. 

As soon as the Wind Elemental arrived outside, it soon saw a Magic Array Formation on the door. He finally understood that it's actually because of this Magic Array that's why the door wouldn't open. And it even seems like this Magic Array is 9 Star level or worst, a Galaxy-level Magic Array.

Leo didn't show that he had discovered the reason why the door wouldn't open on his face as he instead asked, "Hey, Princesses. Is there perhaps an off chance for the kitchen door to have a Magic Array embedded on it?"

Princess Tifa shook her head as she doesn't have an idea about that. Base on what she could remember, only important rooms around the castle would have such a thing, and that doesn't include the kitchen at all.

Contrary to Princess Tifa, Princess Tila's eyes lit up in realization as she then said, "Now that you mentioned that, I just remembered that a few years ago, Seventh Brother Elmont had suddenly decided to install a Magic Array Formation on the door of the kitchen. I really don't know the exact reason why he suddenly did that, but base on the rumors I've heard at that time, Seventh Brother Elmont had only decided on doing such a thing after he suddenly spent his entire day in the kitchen the day before he decided to install the Magic Array Formation in the door of the kitchen,"

"Wait,"

Hearing Princess Tila's words, everyone immediately has a sudden realization in their minds. 

"Don't tell me that it is actually his Highness Elmont who had locked us here in the kitchen?" 

In the next moment, everyone immediately remembered... or to be more precise, smelled once again the unbearable smell fermenting their entire surrounding as if turning the kitchen into no-man's land.

It really doesn't need someone with very high intelligence to understand the exact reason why this is happening to them right now; Elmont had obviously decided to lock the door because he wants to force all of them to eat his dish!

And speaking about the devil...

"I'm going to serve my dish now,"

The moment everyone heard such sentence, numerous gulping sound was right after heard throughout the entire kitchen.
