Thanks to the recipe scroll he'd been rewarded with by the system, Austin understood what he needed to do, to create the juice he wanted with the help of his maids.

The result of their hard work led to several satisfied sighs and the giggles of the maids in front of him.

But while this was happening, two beautiful ladies walking along the hallway stopped mid-step when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the dining hall.

Sue and Elena glanced at each other.

Before now, they had been strolling while chatting about Lina and Mira's experiences in the palace.

Elena had been curious to hear more about how her daughters had fared in the palace, hence why she decided to have a chat with Sue this early in the morning, and Sue was more than happy to gossip about everything Elena wanted to know.

But now, they couldn't help but be curious about the noise coming from the dining hall.

"Why are they so loud this early in the morning?" Sue muttered with a frown.

"I wonder what's going on in there..." Elena added and both ladies stepped closer to the door.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, the maids noticed them.

"Lady Elena! Lady Sue! You have to try this!"

"Yes, my ladies, It tastes so good."

"We're sure you'll love it too."

The maids swiftly offered a cup to Sue and Elena each.

The sweet aroma wafting up from the cup instantly caught their attention and Sue took a sip first but froze the moment the liquid touched her tongue.

"Wow." She said in amazement, but Elena raised a brow at Sue's reaction before taking a sip as well, only for her face to melt into a smile as she let out a cute sigh.

"Mm~ This is better than anything I've ever tasted in the imperial city." Elena moaned as she placed her palm on her cheek.

Meanwhile, Sue looked around at the table and noticed Austin with his wives who were still sipping their juice. She also noticed over ten baskets of red and green colored fruits, along with several large jars of juice, on the large table in front of him.

Stepping closer to inspect the fruits, Sue couldn't help but ask. "What type of fruit is this? And where did it come from?"

But before Austin could answer, two elven maids happily spoke first.

"His Highness called them strawberries and cantaloupes."

"And he got them from a friend in a faraway land!"

Listening to what the maids said, Austin's hand froze midway as he brought his cup to his lips.

He then smiled sheepishly when he noticed Sue, Lina, and Mira slowly turning to look at him.

Of course, they didn't believe what the maids just said because they knew that Austin didn't have any friends from a faraway land.

However, they were able to see the subtle truth beneath the lie.

Since Austin said the fruits were from a faraway land, then it meant that Austin must have found a way to bring fruits from the spirit realm into the mortal realm.

Moreover, Austin's spirits could easily phase through the spirit realm and mortal realm, so it made perfect sense to believe that the friend he was referring to, was none other than Little PP or Sylvia.

This was the conclusion all three ladies arrived at.

And they weren't wrong, because while Austin had expected the system to reward him with the seeds directly from his inventory, it was Sylvia who handed him the seeds instead.

And when he asked where she had gotten it from, his little fairy claimed that she found them in a cave in the spirit realm but she suddenly decided to let Austin have a look at them.

So, in a way, the fruits really did come from the spirit realm.

Pushing this thought aside for now, Austin's attention was suddenly drawn to the elven maids who couldn't stop praising the fourth prince who had now made a significant impression that they would never forget.

Some continued to sip from their cups while others tried the fruits as well.

"Mm~ the strawberry is really good."

"Yes, but the juice is still the best."

"I agree, and it tastes so yummy."

"His Highness is truly amazing for coming up with something like this."

"I'd marry this juice if I could."

"And I'd happily attend that wedding." A sixth maid added and her friends laughed out loud in excitement.

Even Austin chuckled softly as he basked in the atmosphere that was created, thanks to the fruits and juice everyone was helping themselves to.

Glancing towards Sana and Mae, he saw them licking their lips while their tails continued to sway happily behind them.

"Mm~ making these fruits with His Highness was totally worth it. I was so curious when His Highness came to us this morning..." Mae whispered.

"Me too," Sana replied while smirking. "His Highness showed up like some mysterious alchemist, then he said he needed our 'skills' for an important experiment."

Listening to what Sana said, Mae giggled and added. "Hehe~ Who knew it'd turn out like this?"

"I know right? I'm so happy right now."

"Me too."

The two exchanged a glance and grinned, then together, they raised their cups and shouted, "Long live the prince!"

"Long live the prince!" The other maids then echoed and raised their cups in unison.

Even Sue, Lily, Elena, and Austin's wives did the same, causing the room to erupt into laughter and giggles.

Austin couldn't help but smile as he watched all these happen in front of him.

But when he lifted his gaze toward the entrance door, he noticed his father-in-law peeking subtly from a distance.

"Father-in-law. What are you doing standing there? Come in and join us." Austin beckoned for Lord Han to come inside, but all the maids in the room gasped at the same time when they realized that the Head of the mansion was standing behind them.

They swiftly cleared a path for him to come in and Austin beckoned him once again.

Seeing this, Lord Han couldn't help but smile as he walked in.

However, Lina and Mira became puzzled by what they were seeing.

Did their husband just call their father over? And did their father enter the room with a smile on his lips?

Since when did the two of them bond and become so close?

And how come they missed such a special bonding moment!!
