Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 342 - 342 (Hidden, Title At The Bottom)

As Marcus ate a rare natural treasure like a common snack, Baron Kental and the knights were all wondering what was wrong with him.

Even kings would not eat natural treasures of that quality without some purpose in mind, and they certainly would not hand it out like candy to a child.

However, the party in question had done it willingly and even though everyone around other than the princesses thought Marcus had a screw loose, it was not their place to intervene.

"So how did you like it Eis." Marcus said as the young princess finished off the natural treasure.

Smiling brightly Eis looked up at Marcus and said, "It was delicious. Thank you very much Lady Irene."

"Well, I am glad you enjoyed it. Once we get out of here, I will give you some more for later." Marcus said, happy to see the young princess enjoying herself

'Mrazivý certainly has a good little sister. Though I guess one day she might be my little sister as well.'

After that their group thanked Baron Kental for showing them around and explaining things to them even though he had work to do.

"It was no problem. I enjoyed showing some people with genuine interest around, other than those just interested in the value of these natural treasures." Baron Kental said having enjoyed his time as well.

At heart he had a real passion for botany, and it was a breath of fresh air for him to have others who did not just care about the gains these plants brought, but how they were cultivated and the care that went into it.

Waving goodbye, Marcus, Mrazivý, Eis, and Sir Hinsen exited the natural treasure area, and collected their things.

"Well, this is where we will say goodbye for now. It was fun to have you show me around Eis." Marcus said, as he patted the princess' head.

"Do we really have to go Sir Hinsen, could we not accompany my sister and Irene for a bit longer." Princess Eis said with puppy dog eyes to Sir Hinsen.

Unfortunately, as effective as they were on him, he still knew he needed to keep the princess' schedule, and said, "I am sorry your highness, but you afternoon break is already over. We need to get you to your politics class now."

Sighing Princess Eis nodded her head, knowing she was not going to be getting out of her lesson.

"Here take these. Once you finish your lesson feel free to have one to celebrate." Marcus said as he took out a dozen different natural treasures and handed them over to the princess who eagerly put them into her magic bag.

Seeing this Sir Hinsen was truly flabbergasted, since Marcus had just handed over more natural treasures than he could expect to get in a year.

"Are you really sure Lady Irene? Is that not too much to give out to her highness?" 

"Yeah, it is fine. She is Mrazivý's sister, so I thought I should treat her like my own. Anyway, as I said I have plenty, and my stats are already maxed out for my level." Marcus said nonchalantly.

Hearing this Sir Hinsen went wide eyed, since very few people would have their stats maxed out at any given time.

In fact, only the strongest prodgies in the kingdom would be given enough resources for that.

"You really are something else Lady Irene. Well, if you say it is fine, then I suppose it should be okay for the princess to have them. Just try to be careful giving out natural treasures so casually or some people may try to take advantage of you." Sir Hinsen said with some concern.

"Thank you for your worry, but I will be fine. I only give out gifts to those that I like"

After saying that Marcus and Mrazivý said goodbye to their temporary companions and began their tour of the castle once more.

"So where to next Mraz."

However, an instant after saying that Marcus got his answer as Mrazivý's stomach growled loudly.

"I guess that means our next destination, is the kitchen." Marcus said with a wry smile.

Mrazivý then began blushing and playfully hitting him for pointing out her stomach growling.

Once Mrazivý was done hitting Marcus the two of them headed off towards the kitchen, to get some lunch.

"Hey Kokki, would you mind making the two of us something to eat." Mrazivý said as she walked up to the royal chef.

"Oh, Princess Mrazivý, it has been quite some time, and who is this beautiful friend with you." Kokki said as he looked over Marcus.

"This is Baronetess Irene Geist. She is my guest, and as you surmised my friend."

"I see. To think that the rambunctious princess would come back with such a beautiful friend."

Kokki then bowed towards Marcus and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Irene. Name anything you want, and I will have it fixed up for you."

Smiling deviously Marcus said, "Sure, I would love some puff cow fillets if possible."

Kokki's smile slightly dropped hearing this, since puff cow fillets were some of the most expensive cuts of meat and were normally only brought out for special occasions.

Seeing the look on Kokki's face Marcus dramatically said, "Oh I am sorry. I thought that the royal kitchen would have some. When I last fed the princess here, I severed her the best puff cow filets I owned, and I figured I could receive the same here. Though I guess if you do not have any, we can have something else."

Putting on a disappointed expression Marcus let out a deep sigh.

"No, we do have some. Normally we would not bring them out casually, but just this once I will make an exception." 

Moving frantically Kokki got his staff in order and told them that they would be preparing a special meal for Princess Mrazivý, and Lady Irene.

"Wow looks like you got that hardass Kokki to actually go all out. He only does that for a few people, like my father, and my great grandmother." Mrazivý said genuinely impressed.

"Eh it is no big deal. I mean you do owe me for all those fillets you ate the other day."

After that Marcus and Mrazivý moved into the dining room, that currently was empty even though it was lunch time

"Looks like we have it all to ourselves." Marcus said as he pulled up a chair in the middle of the large table.

"Yeah, this place is actually not very utilized. Very rarely does anyone actually come here to eat. Normally members of the royal family just have our meals brought to us. This place is mostly used for social events or the occasional family meal."

Sitting down next to Marcus, Mrazivý pulled out a chess set, and the two began playing to pass the time until their meals arrived.

However, their peaceful time was soon interrupted as a middle-aged man with blue hair entered the dining room, along with a large group of nobles behind him.

"And this here is the royal dinning hall where we will be having our exquisite lunch." The man who was definitely a member of the royal family said.

Yet after he addressed his guests, he turned around and saw Mrazivý.

Seeing her a scowl formed on his face but he quickly got his expression back together, until he saw Marcus.

His face then contorted into surprise, before a smile formed on his face, one that Marcus had seen before when he was with Ivar Poulsen.
