Chapter 97 Matthews Request (Part Two)
"Your Highness, can you help me trim the edible parts of the vegetable?" asked Harper tentatively, hoping he would get involved as well.
Matthew took a look at the vegetable in Harper's hand. Actually, he didn't know what that particular vegetable was called even though he ate it quite often. He nodded and took it over. Harper then went to wash and cut another kind of vegetable. At the same time, she took care of the fire in the stove to prevent the fire from extinguishing.
After she finished cutting the vegetable, she turned around and saw Matthew tearing the vegetable that she gave him earlier. She rolled her eyes helplessly before she walked to him and said, "Your Highness, that's not how you do it."
Matthew held the basket in his hands and asked in confusion, "No? I thought I was doing an excellent job."
The corners of Harper's mouth twisted. It was obvious that she wanted to laugh which didn't go unnoticed by Matthew. Harper somehow managed to hold back her laughter.
r was out of his sight, he turned to his servants and asked them to fetch him some medicine. It turned out he was in pain since he had eaten too much at noon. What was worse, he drank a lot of tea with Harper while they were playing the game of Go.
Barry felt clueless, seeing his master in this miserable condition. Matthew had known that eating too much wasn't good for his health. Yet he ate everything Harper cooked and pretended to be alright because he wanted to please her. Now he was paying for his actions. Minute by minute, his condition was getting worse.
"Your Highness, were the dishes made by Lady Harper delicious?" Jack asked naughtily, appearing before him out of nowhere. "It seems that you are stuffed. I guess that means the meal must be very delicious."
With a flick of his finger, Matthew hit Jack. Jack screamed and rolled on the floor, letting out a groan. Matthew ignored Jack and left with Barry. In the background, he could still hear Jack screaming in pain.
