Chapter 527 Breakfast at the Sublime Fantasia

Heading out of Marcus’ estate, their group began heading straight for the best restaurant in the city.

It was a place called the Sublime Fantasia, and apparently had food that was incredibly good while also being paired with exceptional live music.

Many nobles and wealthy business owners made it their restaurant of choice, and it took a certain amount of status or money to even eat at the place.

Luckily Mrazivý had personally arranged their reservation at the restaurant, and they more than happy to have one of the kingdom’s princesses being a patron at their establishment

When they arrived, their carriage was led to a large lot behind the establishment, where cliental where able to safely store their vehicles and beasts.

Once they had parked and gotten out, a very well-dressed young man who was a cat beast person bowed his head, and said, “Greetings esteemed guests. My name is Maxton, and I shall be your lead server today. Should you need anything during your time at our restaurant, please tell me and I will do my up most to cater to whatever it is you need.”

After saying this Maxton raised his head, and truly looked at the people he was to be serving.

However, contrary to his normal professionalism, he stood there and stared.

He had seen his number of attractive people in the past, but as he looked at, Mrazivý, Lyra, and Marcus who was in his guise as Irene, he could not help but stare..

All three of them were beyond beautiful, each in different ways that made them look even more appealing as a set.

Though what really held his attention was Lyra, since as Borealia was a human kingdom and was predominately populated by them, there were very few nobles of other races.

“Um do we have something on our faces.” Mrazivý said, trying to get Maxton’s attention.

Hearing this, he realized that he had been staring for far too long, and said, “Oh no, I am sorry that was rude of me. Please forgive me for my transgression.”

Lowering his head, Maxton realized that he had likely upset the guests he was supposed to be severing and was hoping they would forgive him.

He knew that a very important person was among this group which was why he was sent personally, due to the fact that he was one of the best servers employed at the Sublime Fantasia.

Still, he had been caught off guard for a moment and made what would be a rookie mistake.

Fortunately for him, none of them were uptight people and were not going to try and have his head served up on a platter for something so insignificant.

“Go ahead and raise your head, it is not a big deal. Anyway, we have other plans after this so if you would not mind leading us inside and showing us to our table.” Marcus said, wanting to move things along.

Letting out a breath of relief, Maxton raised his head with a renewed smile and led them inside the restaurant.

He quickly brought them up to the second floor where they had set up one of their best tables that was by a large, beautiful window that overlooked the courtyard where they had outdoor eating and held special events.

Maxton and another server who was acting as his assistant, soon brought around glasses of water for everyone, along with fresh bread that had been prepared specially for this table.

“Now all of the items on the menu are available, but we also have a number of specials that you can choose from.” Maxton said, after making sure everyone was situated.

He then listed off the four specials they had for this day and waited patiently nearby for everyone to complete their order.

When they had all chosen what they wanted, Marcus waved Maxton back over to them and he waited for them to say what they all wanted.

Yet while everyone else ordered just two to four items for their breakfast, Marcus ordered what could only be considered a small feast.

“I will have all four of the specials for today, the berry medley crepe, a plate of pancakes topped with powder sugar along with syrup, an order of bacon, oh and one of this, this, and this. Ah and why not one of these as well.”

Gulping, Maxton at first thought that Marcus was joking with him, since this was far more food than he could imagine anyone ever eating by themselves.

Heck he was doubtful that even if all five of them were to partake in what Marcus had ordered along with their own food, they would be able to finish it all.

Nevertheless, as he looked at Marcus intently, he saw just how serious he was in ordering all of this.

“My Lady, if it is not too impertinent of me, please allow me to advise you against ordering so much. Our portions are fairly generous, and this much food would be far too much for one person to finish. Also, while I am sure that you are all of high statuses, our food is made from the highest quality ingredients available and are not cheap. Your order alone is going to cost over seven hundred gold coins.” Maxton said, trying to stop Marcus from ordering so much.

“Oh no need to worry, I can eat all of that and then some. I am a bit of a cook myself and want to try a lot so that I might get some ideas. And if it is money that you are worried about, I do not mind paying upfront.”

After saying this Marcus held out his hand and opened his item box, and a pouch full of platinum coins he had gotten recently as his pay for his work in Glenna Reota appeared.

Seeing this Maxton looked at the bag full of money in surprise, since it was filled with more than he had ever seen in one place before.

Still, he needed to be professional after his earlier slip up, and said, “That is not necessary my lady. We here at the Sublime Fantasia would never expect a guest to pay beforehand. Now since you are certain that you will be able to finish what you have ordered, I will go ahead and relay your orders to our chefs.”

Bowing his head, Maxton left Marcus and his group on their own, going off to inform the kitchen staff of the large and important order that had just come in.

“Wow, Irene you really are not holding back.” Lyra said, surprised by how much he had ordered.

Certainly she knew that he seemingly had an infinite amount of room in whatever his stomach was, but this was still a bit excessive.

“Hey when you have the option to eat good food, you might as well get what you want. Anyway, I held back some, since at first, I thought I might order one of everything.” Marcus said with no shame.

Shaking their heads, everyone could not believe Marcus even thought about doing something like that.

With their orders now in, their group waited patiently while drinking water and eating some of the bread and butter that had been provided.

Though after around twenty minutes, Maxton came back and lowered his head very low, before saying, “I would like to apologize in advance, but your order is going to be delayed for a few minutes longer than expected. One of our chefs had an emergency and had to take his leave, so we are short-staffed right now. But I promise that you will still get what you have ordered, and that the Sublime Fantasia will be giving you a discount for the inconvenience.”

Smiling, everyone in Marcus’ group told Maxton that it was fine, and that it was no problem for them to wait a little longer.

However, while Marcus and most of the customers in the esteemed restaurant understood, there was one group of people that were less than accommodating.

“What do you mean that our order is being delayed. That table over there got here only a few minutes earlier than us and they are being served. Is this not supposed to be the best restaurant in the royal capital. Do you not know who I am? If I want, I can have my father have this restaurant torn down and make sure that none of you incompetent employees work in a reputable restaurant again. Now, get back in the kitchen and tell them to hurry up and get our order completed.”

Unfortunately, the poor flustered server could only bow her head while saying that the orders were being worked on, and that they would take sometime especially since many time consuming and difficult to make items had been ordered for their table.

“Huh, what are you still doing here making excuses for? I am ordering you to go and have our orders made and brought to us within the next five minutes.” The extra privileged young man said with a domineering tone

Seeing this, Quillon who could not stand people pushing around their authority, especially when they were weak. Stood up, ready to intervene.

“No, you just wait here. I will do it myself.” Marcus said, recognizing who was the asshole complaining about such a simple thing as waiting a bit longer.

‘It has been a while since I dealt with a pretentious noble brat.’ Marcus thought.

Getting up he walked over to this nearby table, and said, “Would you mind not causing such a racket? We are trying to enjoy our time here, but that is impossible when a talking donkey is flapping his gums.”
