《The Ultimate Puppeteer, Aristia's Brother || The Abandoned Empress》Chapter 6: How to make Macarons
Advertisement
Lunch ensued peacefully with occasional chatters from the youngest red head. A bit earlier the albino haired child presented perfect etiquette and manners. His back was straight and he used the appropriate utensils for the meals he took, using the napkin placed on his side to wipe his mouth gracefully. With this lunch has ended and they all went their separate ways.
"See you later An!" The older red head (≧∇≦)/ said as he was dragged away by a smaller child. Though Carsein blew a raspberry at me before he completely got out of my view.
I waved farewell to both of them and turned around to see Ernia looking at me with the expression she will look at Ari in the future.
"Shall we go?"
"Sure my lady"
"Your sister is doing well Anastacius?"
"Yes she's been very active lately"
"As the one spoken of in the oracles it is to be expected"
Silence covered us until we reached the kitchen.
"Lady Ernia?"
"Yes"
"May I invite you for tea later?"
"What you're inviting me for tea with you using our materials?"
The meals served here aren't to my taste, but that would be rude if I comment on their dishes. How can they not even know that the ingredients they used weren't used for their real purposes.
"Ah no need to worry about that Lady Ernia, I brought my own materials to make something as an acknowledgement for letting me stay here!" I went into my sparkly mode (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ to show her that her taunts won't work on me. Because I mastered the art of culinary on my First life to mask the poison's taste and scent. (◎ ー ◎;)But now is not the right time to think about that!
"Hmph I'll see you in the garden at 4" with that she left.
"Uhm Sir Monique would you like some help with what you'll be doing?" A woman who looks like she's in her late 20's asked me. I may have the body of a five year old, but that doesn't mean I'll let myself be babied again in this lifetime.

"Mhmm Thank you for offering your service pretty lady!" I gave her a close eyed smile.
3rd Person POV
After the albino attacked the Lady with his charming smile, suffering a critical Attack the lady was K.O. ed instantly. Now that the obstacle is dealt with, the albino known as Anastacius opened his briefcase. Inside the briefcase contained many ingredients he manufactured himself.
He didn't want to buy the main ingredients from others because he found it "Low quality" and "not fresh". Walking to the cabinets while not stepping on the knocked out lady, he washed his hands for a minute and wore an apron he made for his age.
Taking out the ingredients needed for the shells of the macarons; almond powder, confectionary powder, granulated sugar and pure vanilla extract.
First take out a bowl and combine dry ingredients: almond flour and confectionary powder. Whisk and/or sift them together.
Beat the egg whites in another bowl using a whisk in medium speed for two minutes, until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar and whisk them faster for two minutes, until stiff and glossy peaks form.
The vanilla extract will then be added and whisked for 30 seconds. Then gently fold in the dry ingredients and repeat until mixture is smooth and shiny, and begins to run a little but not too runny.
Then he took out a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch round tip and filled it with batter. Lining 1 baking sheets with parchment paper and pipe batter into 3/4 inch round circles,1 inch apart. Then he started aggressively smacking the basking tray into a pile of clothes to release the air bubbles. Then he left it alone and started making the meringue.
For the meringue; 2 egg whites, sugar and tartar. Whip the egg whites in the average speed of 3 rounds per second. Then add the tartar while raising the speed to 8 rounds per second. Slowly add the sugar, until the meringue is in like a frosting form.
Then he started baking the macarons for 10-12 minutes at 325 F.

Soon the lady woke up to the delicious aroma of something. The scent was unique and new that she wanted to know who was making that dish.
"Oh pretty lady is finally awake!"
A young boy holding a tray of the unknown dish blessed the lady's heart.
"I was just about to wake you up, to taste my dish!" The young boy who looked as if he was an angel sent from the heavens offered a mere commoner like her to taste his creation.
The dish were like some kind of biscuit, it was crispy on the outside. It looked very pretty and it has the design of the Rass symbol on it. The lady took a bite of the unknown dish, suddenly an explosion of sweetness erupted in her mouth. She felt like she can die in peace now.
"Ah pretty lady what do you think?"
"I think- no I am certain that this is the most delicious thing that I have tasted!! What do you call this sir Anastacius?"
"Ah I call it macarons! And after you finish that, can you please help me prepare the tea?"
TIMESKIP TO TEA TIME
It was almost 3 o'clock and I am heading to the garden with a tray in my hands, behind me is the lady I met at the kitchen. The tower of macarons was hidden by the silver cover and it kept the scent from being sniffed on by people.
"Sir Anastacius are you certain you don't need help with the tray?"
"No need to worry pretty lady, I'm aiming to be the best brother for my Sister! So this should be nothing!"
We arrived in the garden and this has a great view to watch the Young knights in training. Teens in their red uniform can be spotted doing some sparring. And the way they train isn't that effective to their fast reaction time, especially if they don't take this seriously as a life and death battle.
We arrived earlier because I wanted set the table with things I know Duchess Ernia loves.
"Can you please hand me the vase in my bag?"
"Of course sir Anastacius"
As she hands me my self painted glass vase, I started to place in the special flowers I grew in my garden. Once the flowers were finished I started to position the swan napkins in specific places. I opened my pocket watch to see it is 2:59.
"It seems that I'm early that Anastacius doesn't seem to be finished with his preparations" Just in time, Duchess Ernia arrived with a few of her maids behind her.
"Not at all Duchess Ernia! I am already finished!"
The child in front of me is the older Brother of the chosen one. So he must be a good example to her. Inviting me for tea is a good way to challenge him and know his weaknesses.
"Duchess Ernia have a taste of the tea I made based on you"
The tea in front of me has the same color of my eyes and has a white petal. How did these child get the tea in this color? Is this even safe? I held the tea cup on my lips and took a sip. I felt my eyes widen in surprise the taste is unusual but delicious.
"How did you make this?"
"It's just that I've always looked up to you that I was inspired to make something based of you"
"My your so young yet you already know how to flatter me"
"Well I try Duchess Ernia"
"Hmph how is your Sister, Anastacius?"
"She is well my lady, she is a fast learner compared to me"
A Brother who lowers himself for his Sister huh? This will be interesting. Let's see how much you love your dear Sister.
