The Empress frowned as she called out to her daughter. Yvette had not even had the chance to leave with Darryl. “I’ll be alone if you go with him. Who will be here to take care of me? You should stay here with me!”
The Empress glared at Darryl contemptuously when she said that.
‘Just because you’re a Prince Consort now, you think that you have my blessing? You’re a b*stard who doesn’t deserve my daughter!’
“Mother Empress!”
Yvette stomped her feet angrily as she protested anxiously. “There is no one on this island, so there is no danger.”
The Empress did not say anything, but she did not look like she would compromise.
Ugh!
Darryl smiled bitterly. “Yvette, why don’t you stay with the Empress? I can catch the fish on my own!”
Darryl winked at Yvette to tell her not to be worried. Then, he walked out of the cave.
When he arrived at the beach, Darryl used the Heavenly Halberd to catch a few fish; he used the weapon to stab them.
As he returned to the cave, he saw that Yvette had thoughtfully set up the fire. When he reached them, she even offered help to cook the fish.
Yvette was a princess, and she had never cooked anything before that, but she did well. She had assisted Darryl with the cooking.
Darryl always brought a lot of seasonings with him when he travelled. However, he only started doing that after he had Jewel as his maid.
Darryl and Yvette chatted and laughed as they cooked; they were like a sweet old couple.
The atmosphere was so relaxed and pleasant, but the Empress was not happy after she saw them together.
She was very dissatisfied with Darryl. She could not bear it when she saw her daughter so intimate with that man. The more she looked at them, the more upset she felt.
“Your Majesty!”
Finally, after they had cooked the fish, Darryl pierced it with a branch and handed it to the Empress. He smiled and said, “Do tell me what you think of my cooking.”
