"Eh?" Keith tilted his head.
What did he mean by this?
"Don't you guys want to know what your father and mother look like when their face is pursed like that?" Michael's expression was devious.
"Hmm?" Derek and Keith began to ponder about this. Sophia and William making those faces? They were curious about it now.
Michael's words made May and the knights curious as well. The Marquis and the Madam were always the type to maintain a calm expression. They got angry, and they showed that on their face.
But they never made a weird one.
Having their lips pursed like that would be interesting to see. But,
"You're playing with fire," Keith added. William and Sophia would probably be mad afterward.
"With you here, I doubt it." Keith was the protection shield.
"..." Keith had nothing to say.
"What's going on?" And he couldn't say anything either because the victims came. William and Sophia entered with Carter.
"Wow, this place is beautiful." This was the first time looking at the resting area.
"Thank you, Father." Keith smiled and added, "You can also use the area as a meeting room! It would be great and convenient."
"That's a great idea." William smiled.
"Father, Keith gave us something to try. Please try it as well." Derek made the first move as he grabbed the plate of lemons and handed it to the three.
"..." Keith blinked a few times as he stared at Derek.
Brother, what are you doing?! Was he trying to seek death?!
Keith had forgotten who Derek was. Derek was the one who had death-seeking tendencies out of the four of them!
"Oh." "This looks interesting." Not realizing Keith's expression, William and Sophia stared at the lemon wedges.
"Please try it." The three grabbed a wedge. But when they brought it up to their mouth, William looked up,
"Why are you guys looking at us like that?"
The knights, May, and their sons were staring at the three.
"Nothing. We want to see if you guys like it." Michael explained, and the knights nodded.
Strange. William found them odd. His wife was the same as well. The two were about to bite into it. But the expressions on the knights were way too off!
"What are you guys thinking about?"
"Nothing. We-"
"Gahh!" Before they could shrug it off, Carter screamed out! They turned around to see Carter with pursed lips!
It looked horrible. William and Sophia turned back to the rest,
"You guys wanted us to make a face like that?"
"Sir! This was all the commander's idea!"
"Yes! He was the one who wanted to see you guys eat it!"
"Yeah!"
"You all!" Michael glared at the knights! How could they throw him under the bus?! He was the one who brought it up. But they were all accomplices!
And he wanted to throw them all under the bus!
"Mother, Father, I tried to stop him! But he wanted to see you guys eat it!" Derek stated as he hid behind Sophia, trying to look innocent.
"..." This kid! Michael wanted to spank someone so much! Only the kid could save me now. Keith was his ultimate shield! But when Michael turned to Keith.
"Hmm? It needs more time to boil." Keith was the only one who wasn't a part of this. He, Aria, Mir, and Fira had been staring at the pot!
"..." That ultimate shield knew how to escape as well.
"Michael." A cold voice called his name. Michael turned his head and saw William with a smile. But his eyes weren't smiling at all!
"It's been a while since we sparred."
"And I need a new target for my magic," Sophia stated coldly as a fireball formed in her hand.
"Meep!" Michael wanted to cry. Two monsters were going to end him. Michael's screams resounded throughout the estate.
...
While Michael was chased by William, Keith looked down at the pot. The color of the water had become cloudy. Keith poured the mixture through a strainer, splitting the white beet from the water.
Need to get everything out. Keith took a cloth, wrapping the beets up, and pushed hard. He wanted to get all the liquid out of the beets!
"Are we going to be drinking this, Keith?" Derek questioned. Keith shook his head, "We're not drinking this. I'm going to simmer this down even more." There was too much liquid here. He was going to simmer it down even more to make the sugar.
Keith boiled the water. He stirred, trying his best not to let the bottom be burnt. While he was doing that, Fira and Mir started to play around the field.
They knew not to bother Keith right now as he was too focused. Aria sat at the table and watched Keith work. While he was doing that, the color of the water started to reduce.
And what was left in this pot was a caramel color. It was a little thick compared to what was there before. Keith nodded. Perfect color. It was the color he wanted.
"Keith, what did you make?" Sophia and William stared at Keith.
Keith tilted his head, "Mother, Father, are you done with Michael."
"Mmhmm. He was a good target."
"..." Poor Michael. But he deserved it as well.
