(Chrissy's POV)

*The next morning, after breakfast, Bruno came into my room with an idea (I had a green headband my hair & was wearing a green dress (look up "Rosalina - Katarina Claes (Child - Green Dress)" by "Katlime" on "DeviantArt"))*

Chrissy: A welcome party for Professor Heine?

Bruno: Yes. I'm going to be in charge of decorating. Kai is gathering flowers and fruit for the centerpieces. Licht is arranging the table. And Leonard is going to go hunting for the meat.

Chrissy: Wow. Is there anything I get to do?

Bruno: Yes. You'll be in charge of making the dessert.

*I got really excited when I heard that*

Chrissy: Really!?

Bruno: Yes. So, when Master comes for your lesson today, ask him what his favorite dessert is. But try not to sound suspicious.

*I did a salute*

Chrissy: You got it!

Professor Heine:*off-screen* Ahem!

*We turned towards the door & saw the Professor standing there, giving us a suspicious look*

Chrissy: I - I mean . . . *I did a curtsy* Of course, elder brother.

Bruno: Y - Yes. Very good. I'll see you in the dining room for lunch. *he headed for the door* Please excuse me, Master.

Professor Heine:*bowing* Of course, Your Highness. *she then turned to me* Now then, shall we begin today's lesson?

Chrissy: Y - Yes, sir!


*For half the morning, me & the Professor reviewed what I knew about the history of the Kingdom of Granzreich. We stopped 8 o'clock*

Professor Heine: That concludes our lesson for today. Please be sure to study more on the Kingdom's history.

Chrissy: Yes, sir. *he was about to leave, but I stopped him* Um . . . Professor?

Professor Heine: Yes, Princess?

Chrissy: Uh . . . Well . . . What's your favorite dessert?

*He paused for a moment*

Professor Heine: Hmm . . . Apple pie. Why do you ask?

Chrissy: Oh! No reason! I was just curious!

*He stared at me for a minute*

Professor Heine: Very well.

*He left the room. I sighed in relief & slumped on my desk*

Chrissy: That was close . . .

*Just then, a shadow fell over me. I looked up & jumped when I saw Ms. Richter, giving me stern look*


*After my lesson with Ms. Richter, I put my hair in braids (look up "Blonde Anime Girl Render" by "HaruRenders" on "DeviantArt"), wearing a bandana tied around my hair (look up "Cast of Cinderella" by "merit" on "DeviantArt"), changed into my my purple dress, a white apron, white tights, & brown boots (look up "Kaguya Madoka [Precure Tsunagaru Pazurun]" by "JellyHeartsOffical" on "DeviantArt"), & I made my way to my private kitchen, I looked through multiple cook books to find a recipe for apple pie. I eventually found it*

Chrissy: Perfect! Let's see . . . 6 granny smith apples, cored and sliced. 1 cup sugar. 1/4 cup flour. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 teaspoons cinnamon. 1 cup heavy cream. And for the pie crust . . . 1 ¼ cups flour. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 diced butter. 1/4 cup cold water. All right! Let's get baking!

*I spent the rest of the day, making the best apple pie for my new teacher. I, of course, took a break for lunch*


*Soon, my pie was finished*

Chrissy: There! All done! I just know the Professor will love it!


*I went back to my room, changed into a pink gown (look up "Rosalina - Katarina Claes (Child - Pink Gown)" by "Katlime" on "DeviantArt"), put a red bow in my hair, & made my way to the dining room. Licht, Kai, Bruno, Grandmother, & Adele were still getting everything ready. I started to lend a hand wherever I could. Soon, we heard Leo's voice outside of door*

Leo:*off-screen* Look, just wait here a moment. Licht! Can I open the door yet?

Licht:*whispering* Noooo! We still need a little more time . . .

Leo:*off-screen* WHAT!? I already have him here!

Licht:*whispering* But those three are . . . Ahhhh, Brunie! Kainie! Chrissy! Hurry, hurry!

Chrissy:*whispering* We're going as fast as we can. Keep your shirt on.

*Just then, I heard the Professor's voice*

Professor Heine:*off-screen* Your Highness? You needn't strain yourself hiding this surprise of yours. I highly doubt whatever you've concocted can surprise me, in any case . . .

*Licht then opened the doors & the Professor's eyes went wide at the decorated dinning room*

All: Welcome to Weisburg Castle.

Professor Heine: This is . . .

Bruno: Your welcoming party. It was my idea. It's but a modest party, but we all had a hand in preparing it. Kai gathered the flowers and fruits for the centerpieces.

Kai: . . . Went to gardens . . . After lessons . . .

Bruno: Licht arranged the table.

Licht: I was consulting with a professional before you came along. A lady I know who works at a famous restaurant.

Chrissy:*sweatdrop* Of course.

Bruno: Chrissy made the dessert.

Chrissy: You'll see it after dinner.

Bruno: And Leonard went hunting to provide the meat.

Leo: . . . What was that about not being surprised, hmm?

Professor Heine: My . . . I realized Your Highnesses were hiding something. But I was convinced it was some kind of mischief.

*Bruno was shocked & I was a little hurt at that accusation*

Licht: Considering it was a surprise, you were half-right!

Bruno: How could you think such a thing, Master!? If you were ever threatened by such wickedness, Master, I will stop it at any cost! I would give my life for yours . . .!

Professor Heine: Please don't.

Chrissy: Professor. *he turned to me* Please believe that I would never do anything like that to you. I highly respect you as a teacher.

Professor Heine: I know. I was mostly referring to the Princes, not you.

*A arrow seemed to pierce Bruno*

Licht: Ouch.

*The Professor turned to Leo*

Professor Heine: Prince Leonard, you sacrificed sleep for my sake?

Leo: I - It's not like I did it for you! I wanted to help dearest brother Bruno, that's all. I wouldn't have bothered riding out to the mountains first thing in the morning otherwise. But . . . Heh . . . I did enjoy pulling one over on the teacher . . . My clever misdirection left you completely unaware of our surprise! What say you!? How does it feel to be fooled by your own student!?

Professor Heine: I was not. You were the most obviously suspicious.

Leo: What!?

*The Professor turned to Grandmother*

Professor Heine: The Queen Mother herself joins us? I am honored.

Maria: Hee hee. My grandsons and granddaughter invited me.

*Just then, he noticed Adele reaching for the silverware*

Professor Heine: My, my. Who might this young lady be?

Maria: This is my youngest grandchild.

*Adele curtsied*

Adele: Hello. I'm Adele.

Professor Heine: Oh, the youngest Princess. *he took her hand & bowed to her* It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Princess Adele. I am Heine, the Royal Tutor.

Licht: D'aww, you two make the cutest couple!

*Bruno & I each yanked one of his ears*

Bruno: Watch your tongue, Licht!

Professor Heine: I am a grown adult.

Licht:*laughing* It was just a joke!

Chrissy: Not a very funny one!

Bruno: Indeed. Adele is but three years of age. To propose that a girl a inexperienced is fit to be Master's wife . . . Is positively absurd . . .!

Professor Heine: That's what bothers you?

*Leo glared at the Professor & then turned to Adele*

Leo: Listen, Adele, that teacher may be small, but he's a devil! Stay far away from him!

Adele: Deh-Vull?

Professor Heine: Must you insult me?

*I pulled Leo's ear next*

Chrissy: Leo! Don't teach her such things!

Leo: What did I do!?

*Just then, Kai & I heard rattling coming down the hallway towards us. He quickly picked up the Professor*

Kai: . . . Food's here . . . Eat together . . . Friends . . .

Leo: Y - Yes, elder brother . . .

Kai: Where's . . . Teacher's seat . . .?

Bruno: Master will sit at the head of the table, of course! *he held up a seating chart* Everyone else is seated according to their rank!

Licht: Whoa, Brunie's pulling out all the stops.

Leo: You thought of everything! That's my dearest brother Bruno . . .!

*We all quickly sat down at the table. I sat next to Leo. Soon, the butlers came in with covered dishes on carts*

Butler #1: We, the staff of the Royal Kitchen, would like to welcome Herr Wittgenstein with our finest dishes.

*The revealed the appetizer, which was beef stew with rosemary for the garnish. One of the butlers took out a bottle of wine*

Butler #2: Would you prefer wine or beer?

Professor Heine: Neither, thank you. May I have water, the same as everyone else?

*Bruno raised his goblet*

Bruno: Well, as I was the one to plan this party, I shall lead us off with a toast. Prost!

Kai & Professor Heine: Prost!

*I turned to Leo*

Chrissy: Prost!

*He tapped his goblet against mine*

Leo: P - Prost!

Maria & Adele: Prost!

Bruno: Now, enjoy your dinner.

*We all ate & it was delicious as always*

Licht: Mmmm! Good stuff!

*The Professor & I then noticed Leo fidgeting in his chair*

Professor Heine: Is something the matter, Prince Leonard?

Leo: N - No! I was just wondering how the venison from the deer I shot turned out . . .

*He started fidgeting & squirming more*

Chrissy:*in her mind* He obviously wants to be praised.

*Another butler brought out another cart*

Butler #3: May I present the main dish.

*Leo looked really excited as the cover was taken off the tray, only to reveal a venison that was completely burnt black. The waiter looked nervous as Leo turned to Bruno*

Bruno: . . . I'm sorry, Leonard. I can explain. After you felled that deer yourself, we wanted to cook the meat ourselves as well. I thought I would be appropriate to present a dish that we brothers had created entirely by ourselves to Master. We cooked when you went to summon Master, but you see the result . . .

Licht: Brunie got distracted.

Bruno: No! I asked you to keep an eye on it then!

Licht: Whaaat? Way to pass the blame, jerk!

Chrissy: You guys should've asked for my help! I used to help my Mama with cooking all the time!

Licht: You were busy with the dessert and we didn't want to bother you!

Kai: Leonard . . .

*Leo started crying*

Licht: S - Sorry! I'm really sorry, Leonie!

Bruno: I'm sincerely sorry . . .

Chrissy: Don't cry, Leo. It's not the end of the world.

*Licht took out another covered tray & revealed a smaller, unburnt, venison

Licht: B - But there's one serving's worth thar isn't burnt! *he put it in front of the Professor* Teach, you're the guest of honor, so we'll serve it to you!

*The Professor looked at Leo's disappointed face, cut a piece of venison & ate it*

Professor Heine: . . . Yes . . . It tastes exquisite. Thank you, Prince Leonard. *he turned to the butler* Sir, if I may impose upon you, would you please cut this steak into enough portions that everyone may partake?

Bruno: Th - There's no need for that! We wanted you to eat it!

Professor Heine: The dish was given to me. Therefore, I an free to share it with whomever I please. Am I mistaken?

*Bruno was quiet for a minute & then smiled*

Bruno: . . . A sound agreement.

Chrissy:*in her mind* He's so kind.

*The butler cut the venison into enough pieces for everyone, though they were really tiny*

Adele: Waah! It's so cute!

Maria: Oh! Even these small pieces are full of flavor. Delicious!

*We all ate them & it tasted really good*

Licht: Heh! Pretty good! All thanks to my exquisite seasoning!

*Bruno hit him on the back of the head*

Bruno: It's all thanks to Leonard for bringing in the deer, you mean!

Professor Heine: Isn't that nice, Prince Leonard? Everyone was pleased with it. You see? No hard work goes unrewarded.

*I nodded in agreement*

Leonard: Wh - What!? *his cheeks turned red* Don't forget - I am not happy to have a teacher here! I still want to be rid of you, understand!?

Licht: Leonie's so shyyy!

Professor Heine: Yes, yes, I know.

Leo: I could not be more serious!

*I giggled as I watched them. Soon, everyone was finished with the main course. Another butler then brought out another covered tray*

Butler #4: May I present the dessert.

*I started to get really excited as the butler cut the pie into equal slices for everyone, including me. Everyone then took a bite & smiled*

Adele: Yummy!

Maria: Delightful!

Kai: It's . . . Good . . .

Bruno: The apples & cinnamon are perfectly blended together.

Licht: Tasty!

Leo: So good!

*I blushed at all the praise. I then turned to Professor Heine. He was still chewing. He then swallowed & turned to me with a smile*

Professor Heine: It's delicious. I know your Mother would be proud.

*I almost burst into tears & hugged him, but I restrained myself*

Chrissy: Th - Thank you so much, Professor!


*That night, I went to sleep with a big smile*

Chrissy:*in her mind* I can't wait to tomorrow's lesson.
