Volume 4: Chapter 14:

It was an off day. And during this off day, Carolyn headed to Keith's island again. Carolyn had permission to go to his island whenever she wanted. It was the usual.

"Good morning, Everyone!" Carolyn entered the mansion like it was her home. There was Arlo walking in the hallway,

"Good morning, Carolyn!" Arlo waved his hand to her. Carolyn smiled,

"Good morning, Arlo! Where is everyone else?"

"I'm behind you!" Sarah remarked as she hugged Carolyn from the back.

"Hehe," Carolyn smiled as she hugged her back. The two of them had been doing this for quite some time.

"Where are Gabriel and the others?" She didn't see them around.

"Gabriel and Jack are sparing in the back like always. And Diana is tending to the field with Fira,"

"I see. Let's go get some juice," Carolyn didn't even wait for Sarah to respond as she headed to the kitchen. Sarah laughed as she followed after her.

Carolyn took out the large pitcher from the refrigerator. She sipped on the juice, "So sweet and refreshing."

"Don't you have this on your island?" Sarah remembered Keith handing oranges to her. Carolyn shook her head,

"Chilled juice is so much better than regular one." Carolyn sighed. She couldn't use ice magic. And she didn't want people to know about the fruits as well.

"The stingy man couldn't give me ice!" Carolyn scoffed. She had asked Keith to make some ice for her. But the latter said no, as it was a hassle.

"I don't think you should say something like that," Sarah had a wry expression.

But Carolyn shook her head, "Why do I need to stop?! That man is too cocky!"

"Ahem." A dry cough caused her to look up. Keith was there.

"Huh? When were you here?" Carolyn tilted her head. But that caused Keith to smack her on the head!

"Been here the whole time, you mooch." Keith shook his head. He was already in the kitchen. He was lost in thought, thinking about some things. But then he turned around and noticed Carolyn talking about him.

"How could you hit your princess's head so hard?!" Carolyn rubbed the back of her head as she glared at Keith. Keith scoffed,

"In my house, you're nothing more than a moocher,"

"Bleh!" Carolyn stuck out her tongue at him.

Keith sighed, "I guess I don't need to feed you anything today,"

"Eh?" Carolyn and Sarah tilted their heads when they heard that.

"I'll tell you in a minute or two," Keith smiled as he walked out of the kitchen and knocked on the door,

"What's the matter, Keith?" Aidiun came out.

"Can you go get Grandpa Cadmus and Uncle Sohma?"

"Sure," Aidiun nodded as he walked out to get them. Keith turned to Sarah, "Sarah, can you go get Gabriel and the others?"

"Gotcha." Sarah walked out of the kitchen. That caused Carolyn to tilt her head,

"What are you planning?"

"Just something?" Keith had a calm smile as he stated.

"Also, can you bring Tristan and Maria over?"

"Huh, sure." Carolyn just come here, and now she was leaving. It didn't take long before the three returned with everyone.

"So why did you come me, Kid? I'm a busy man," Cadmus huffed with a haughty tone.

"Yeah! You made us wait!" Carolyn pouted as she stared at him. But that caused Keith to shrug his shoulders,

"I see, I guess you guys don't want to be taste testers,"

"Eh?"

"I called you guys here to ask you to help me decide on my new menu. But since you guys have other things to do, you two can return to what you were doing," Keith added.

"..." The rest shook their heads at him. You guys shot yourself in the foot.

"Did I say I have work? That could be done another time!"

"I have a lot of time!"

"Good," Keith laughed, "I called you guys here because I want you guys to taste test for my menu," Keith needed to do this. Since he couldn't find any inspiration, it was time to get some from potential customers.

"That's why you called the two of us here." Tristan laughed.

"Sure, I would love to try it as well," Maria nodded.
