"How is it? " Jake asked.

" It's very beautiful and big" Tista replied clapping her hands aa she admires the cozy house that Jake has set up in this lonely world.

" But.... Aren't you a playboy? " Tista smiled and said.

" Huh? " Jake tilted his head at the unexpected remark.

Tista chuckles seeing Jake look and then said, " I mean inviting a girl to your house at the very first day without even going through date and stuff"

" Ahh!, so that what you mean, it was just I am tired " Jake nodded and then said.

'Is he wood? ' Tista inwardly thought, seeing Jake's look.

She shook her head and then said, " Let's eat and then tomorrow we will go to cracks and seal them"

" Umm.. How about a break and some sightseeing tomorrow? " Jake stopping her said.

Tista turned and looks at him and then slowly approaching him, she looks in his eyes and asked " Is that a date? "

Jake looked at Tista face which is only few cm away from him and nodded.

Tista smiles and then touching his face she caress it and turning it she gave him a peck on his cheek.

" A reward for you" She said and then left and went to a room.

Closing the door behind and then engulfing the whole room in red mist of hers.

She screamed

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

" W-what did i d-did..... " She stumbles as she remembered how she acted back there.laying on the bed she covered her head with pillow and screamed once again.

" He won't think I am a casual girl, would he? " She thought and then started a long inner monologue.

*******

Jake on the other hand touched his cheek where she just kissed and thought.

" It is her first time"

[ yep, she didn't do it right] Nexus said

[She should have grabbed your face and back of neck and then kissed your lips fiercely] Nexus

" Hmm, I can already imagine her screaming in embarassment " Myne amusing voice also reached Jake.

" Leave the poor girl" Jake shook his head and then went to kitchen.

He looked at all the veggies and then started cooking them.

After some time a mouth watering smell emerged from the kitchen but alas no one was there to appreciate it.

Jake after cooking the meal set the table. Placing all the dishes and setting the plates, he waited for Tista.

After an hour Jake looked at the dishes engulfed in his flames of inferno forge, their job is to keep the food warm and fresh.

" Where is she? " Jake mumbled and the went to Tista room.

Knock knock

" Tista, food is ready" Jake said.

" Coming" Tista voice sounded from inside.

Jake hummed in response and went back to dinning table.

And after 5 minutes Tista arrived too.

She now wearing pajamas.

Jake looked at her, finding her totally different from her usual attire.

" How is it?, I took it form the wardrobe" Tista said.

She is now wearing pink pajamas with cloud like patterns on them.

" It's beautiful " Jake said and Tista smiles ans then sit at the table, she looks at all the dishes and then taking a small bite from one of the dish, she exclaims.

" It's so tasty"

" Glad, you like it" Jake said.

Tista looks at him and blurted " You are perfect husband material "

Jake smiled modestly and said " I am not that great"

Tista on the other hand shook his head and said " You may not know but in our kingdom, we chose our mate based on their cooking "

" It's kind of old tradition " Tista said.

" Oh!, what is the story behind it" Jake asked, becoming interested in this tradition.

Tista nodded and said " Our third Queen was very picky, she always criticize others for even a small mistakes"

" Whole kingdom was very much troubled by her, and so came the day for her marriage, many men from Aura kings to Magi came to marry her, after all even if she was very picky she was most beautiful lady for 100 straight years"

Tista started narrating this story and jake listened to her intently.

" But alas as she was very picky, she even found fault in all those men, for her marriage her father took whole ten years to find different men who could satisfy her but none of them were able to woo her, "

" Desperate her father announced, even if a beggar could win his daughter heart he would marry her to him"

" His announcement caused another wave of men coming to court her"

" But another decade passed and no one was able to win her heart"

"This time even Queen was frustrated too, she along with her Royal guards decided to tour the world to find a perfect husband for her"

" She traveled many cities and towns, kingdoms and Empires but no one was able to win her heart"

" One day as she was traveling a storm hit her entourage, she and her entourage took shelter in a nearby village"

" There they took shelter in a young man home"

" That young man welcomed them"

" And when her entourage asked kitchen use, the young man declined and said " You are guest, let me cook"

" Her entourage tried to explain to him that thier master is very strict but young ma didn't listen to them"

" He at last cooked, he used his own ingredients too, not using the lavish ingredients provided by the Queen's entourage"

" The cooks seeing their felt like dying but they couldn't do anything about it, eventually the young man cooked a simple lamb soup"

" The young man give soup to everyone, the Queen raises her eyebrows seeing the simple looking dish "

" Please give it a try" The young man said.

Queen frowned but decided to give it a try while her guards were ready to defend the poor young man who was soon going to face the wrath of their master.

Queen with uninterested face took a spoonful of soup and ate it.

She paused and then took another spoon.

Her entourage gave young man a look as they saw Queen eating the whole bowl of soup, after all she never eats any dish more than three spoons and yet she finishes this simple looking dish.

Her entourage looked at thier bowl of soup and decided to eat too, they exclaimed taking the first bite as it was super delicious.

Even the cooks felt amazed by it.

They asked for recipe and young man told them.

The queen and her entourage after seeing the weather is good left next day.

Queen didn't go anywhere and returned to her kingdom.

And then her father received another news, that his daughter is not eating anything.

He along with her mother reached her chambers and asked.

" Queen, are you worried about anything? "

" Did someone insulted you? "

" Just tell me, I will do anything that you want" Her father said.

Queen looked at him and said " With your blessing father, I am never worried about anything"

" Nor someone dared to Insult me"

" Then whats the matter dear" Her mother asked.

Queen then told about the village and youngman cooking.

Although she didn't saw but her mother and father were very happy as they know their daughter condition meant she fell in love with that young man, just she herself didn't know about it.

Her father with happy strides reached the Royal guards and ordered them to bring the young man respectfully here.

They nodded and then next day young man was escorted by Royal guards to castle.

Queen's mother smiled as she saw her daughter smiling as she saw that young man arriving at the castle.

And then the marriage between queen and that young man happened.

After marriage the queen also changed, she was no longer picky and even her name was engraved into kingdoms hall of fame for the various contribution she did to kingdom.

" And in her memories we celebrate this tradition on her birthday" Tista said.

" It was beautiful and somewhat funny story" Jake honestly replied.

Tista smiled and nodded, agreeing with Jake.

" Does your kingdom also has any tradition? " She asked and then Jake after some thought decided to tell her stories of disney princesses.

As Jake told her the stories Tista even stopped eating as she felt herself in those stories.

After Jake finished narrating the 5th story he said " Let's save some for next time"

Tista pouted and booed but Jake didn't listen to her.

Shaking her head in disappointment she ate the meal while poking it with fork as if she is taking all the anger on them.

And then both of them after eating thier meal, they went to their rooms to sleep.

[Have to say that Queen and Meal story was good] Nexus said.

" Queen and Meal? " Jake

[Well, have to give this story a title]Nexus shrugged and said@@novelbin@@

" What a lousy title " Myne sneered.

[Then why don't you give it a try] Nexus retorted.

" Of course, ' A cook cupid' is best suited" Myne said confidently.

[Hahahahah, wtf is this stupid title] Nexus laughed so hard that Jake felt worried for him.

Jake shook his head and said " A warm soup to melt frozen heart"

Hearing him both Myne and Nexus fell silent.

" It's good I guess" Myne said

[Better than us]
