Chapter 196: Sex ed.

It was long meeting, and this was thanks to two stubborn noble Lords that had a lot of questions for Sigrid. By the time they let her go, Mauve had finished preparing her new creation; Danish pastries.

The name was not that of course, Mauve had named it fruit swirls.

She proudly presented them to Sigrid who was beyond starvation after a five hour meeting. "I made these with cream that was churned from the milk of cows on the mage farms. I added some dragon fruit glaze, moonflower nectar and...."

"Moonflower nectar! dammit Mauve did you raid the infirmary?"

It was the only place in the house were magical herbs and fruits were kept. Most of them were being used to develop medicine by the mages that were part of the organization.

Moonflower nectar was as hard to harvest as fairy dew. It was a sweet, floral syrup that was got from a flower which opened at midnight and only on nights of the full moon.

Eldoria had not seen a full moon for two weeks so far which meant a shortage of moonflower nectar. Sigrid had found the nectar to be effective in treating coughs. Because of the sweetness of the syrups, cough drops created with the nectar were famous among children.

With the flood coming, she was worried about coughs, colds and other related diseases.

Mauve was like a guilty child, she twisted her lips from side and played with her fingers. Her eyes were downcast as she avoided Sigrid’s inquisitive eyes. "I took just a little bit." she murmured. She bent down and pushed the plate with the pastries towards Sigrid. "Why don’t you try taking a bite before calling the knights to have my head removed."

Sigrid did not have the heart to berate sweet Mauve. She chose to eat the pastries and found the taste rather heavenly.

"This is good." she said through a full mouth. "I am giving you permission to take some more nectar as long as you can make me more of these."
