itchen was used when there was a large event in the public area or when there were guests who visited.

“Do we usually eat all the food here?”

“Of course.
All the ingredients are here.”

Leo, who was on the skinny side, was a very kind person despite my expectations that he would be a little strict.

He said it was the first time someone paid attention to them from time to time, and repeatedly became sullen after liking them profoundly.
Although I doubted him, he basically looked like a good person.

“Me, me! I want to see where the ingredients come from!”

“Of course.
I’ll show you all the secret warehouses that you haven’t seen yet…”

Contrary to expectations, he looked quite excited.

Though I felt a little pressure, it was in a good way for me, so I followed him faster than ever.

Perhaps because it was the Grand Duchy, but the kitchen utensils were truly enormous.

The kitchen was so large that it was impossible to see at a first glance, and the ingredients were also managed in ten rooms.
Each warehouse had different people standing.

And in the last warehouse, I finally found the person I wanted to see.

“In the past, the Emperor clearly said that the person he planted in the Grand House was a very impressive man.
Because of that, the Grand Duke laughed at him because like a fool, he didn’t know he was a spy.’

When I first heard that, I didn’t dare to think of it, but when I saw the man guarding the tenth warehouse, I realized the meaning of those phrases.

“I want to look in here more.”

Because of this, I stopped in front of the tenth warehouse.

“This is a wine cellar.”

“I see!”

“It’s not going to be fun.”

“Is there only wine here?”

“No.
We also store cheese here and distribute it.”

When the person who was guarding the warehouse saw me, he greeted me with a big smile.

“Hello, My Lady.
I’m Caleb, the one in charge of wine and cheese storage.”

“Okay! I’m curious about what’s inside!”

“Do you want me to show you around? It might not be fun.
The atmosphere here is dark and gloomy.”

“R-Really?”

I looked at him as if I was oblivious enough.

He has a really good impression.
Whenever he smiled with his pearly white teeth, the man had dimples in his cheeks and looked like he was really smiling.

His gentle voice and slightly timid behavior made me feel suspicious.
It was as if he was making sure the Grand Duke would never know that he was a ‘spy’.

I didn’t know its name or the exact appearance, but it’s clear that this man was a spy.
