She never would have dreamed

d that Xander would punish her by making her cook.

He hadn’t even bothered to say what she should make, just told her to figure it out h

“Seriously? Of all punishments.Athena thought, racking her bram, but she couldn’t come up with a single dish she was actually good at.

The only thing she vaguely remembered making well was oatmeal, the kind of starvation food she used to throw together as a kid when she was hungry.

But that was just something to fill an empty stomach back then.

Nelson smiled knowingly, thinking to himself, ‘His Highness has been waiting for this meal.”

For the past two weeks, Xander had personally crafted a special gift for Athena,

Today, it was finally finished,

However, no one expected that Athena would completely forget about this matter.

Xander remained expressionless, as detached as a deity to

Athena snuck a glance at Xander and saw his brows furrowed as he stared at the bowl of oatmeal
