In front of everyone, a vegetable soup was served. But unlike normal vegetable soup, it was a purple-colored soup that releases a pungent smell and would pop like a bubble from time to time like a poison. 

"I hope all of you will like it," Elmont said as he scooped everyone a bowl of his vegetable soup each. 

Seeing the strange vegetable soup in front of them, everyone can't help hesitating on grabbing the spoon beside the bowl and tasting it. 

Well, just the look of the vegetable soup alone already shows plenty of meaning to this dish. So they could pretty much already guess its taste.

In the end, everyone still decided to have a taste.

And what followed after was...

"Blrghhh!"

Series of vomiting sound was soon heard in the kitchen followed after by everyone staring at Elmont and shaking their heads. 

"Can we say something disrespectful to you just for this once?" Everyone quickly asked. 

Hearing everyone's questions, Elmont heave a sigh of helplessness as he motioned his hand and said, "Go on,"

"I don't really mean to disrespect you, your Highness Elmont, but you should just forget about cooking and just focus solely on being a battle maniac," Elvis said while wiping his mouth with a tissue. 

"Speaking about being a battle maniac, this epitome of the dark cuisine dish of yours is definitely suited for you, your Highness Elmont. You could literally use this dish just to defeat someone in a battle!" Iasiah said. 

"Can you even call that a dish? I swear in my entire life that it was like eating the nastiest, disgusting, and dreadful food to ever exist!" Nightingale can't help but ask in doubt. 

"For goodness' sake, Seventh Brother Elmont. Don't ever get near the kitchen in the future... No, even touching any kitchen utensils is now forbidden for you to do since it would certainly make me remember your cooking, not again... Blurghh!" Princess Tifa said as she immediately rushed towards the trashcan nearby them to vomit again. 

"You're so mean Older Sister Tifa, but you're indeed correct. Deep in my heart, you are the brother that I really respect the most, Seventh Brother Elmont, but for the sake of our family... No, for the sake of the entire Celestial World, don't ever cook another dish again," Princess Tila said before helping her Older Sister Tifa. 

Elmont turned to look at Leo and Angel who both still haven't commented on his dish yet. 

"I have no comment," Leo said before turning around and beginning to think about something. 

Seeing Leo's action, Angel could only helplessly take responsibility for everything. She turned to look at his Highness Elmont as she said, "I will not give you any blind encouragement as I could easily see that even an entire day of trial and error wouldn't be able to help improve your cooking skill,"

Elmont nodded his head in understanding. He had already expected that they wouldn't like his dish from the very beginning. In fact, he had locked the door in purpose just so that no one here would ever think of making him cook a dish again. 

In the past, Elmont was given advice by one of his friends to try and cook a dish for Selina, saying that woman loves that and it is romantic, just like what Angel meant with her suggestion. So, he agreed and went to the kitchen to try and cook for the first time. The end result was he had cooked a burnt dish, which is understandable considering that it was his first time cooking.

Fortunately for Elmont, the chefs were watching him at that time and were more than willing to help him improve his cooking skills. He was really delighted by that offer and accepted their help. His determination and will to make Selina taste his cooking was ignited really brightly as he started cooking another dish, and at that time, there were professional chefs to help him. 

However, even with the chef's help, Elmont was still unable to improve his cooking skill. Although he didn't cook a burnt dish anymore, he had instead cooked something which they called as dark cuisine. 

No matter how much the chefs guided Elmont and even though he had followed the cooking instructions step by step, he would still surprisingly end up cooking a dark cuisine. It was a really peculiar situation with no one knowing clearly why this was happening to him.

As Elmont really doesn't want anyone else to know about his cooking skill, he decided to install a 9 Star Magic Array Formation at the door of the kitchen so that no one would be able to easily get inside whenever he was cooking. 

Unfortunately, even after spending nearly a year training his cooking skill, Elmont still didn't improve. Even the least bit of improvement was like an impossible dream for him.

From then on, Elmont doesn't want to entertain the idea of cooking anymore and he also doesn't want to hear for another time someone blindly encouraging him.

That's why Elmont knew for certain that if he didn't force them to eat his dish today, they would definitely try to persuade him again to cook a dish for Selina as they don't know clearly just how bad his cooking skill was. 

Fortunately, Elmont was able to achieve his goal in the end. Leo and the others would definitely not let him cook a dish for Selina anymore and would instead focus on other things to help him get Selina's forgiveness. 

"Let's just make the chefs cook the dishes that you know Selina would love to eat," Angel could only choose to suggest doing this after tasting Elmont's dish. 

"Okay!" Elmont nodded his head before unlocking the door. 

Cringgggg! 

The moment everyone saw the door of the kitchen opened, some of them can't help immediately dashing outside to get some fresh air.

Seeing such action, Elmont really doesn't know whether to laugh or feel insulted. He knew clearly that his cooking skill is bad, but can they at least not show it so bluntly to him? It still hurts seeing someone hate his cooking so much.

"Let's start preparing the venue for your date," Angel said as she then turned to look at Leo who was still thinking about something inside the kitchen. She wanted to call out to him to help, but seeing that he was preoccupied, she decided to exclude him, "Let's go!"

"How about Leo?" Elvis can't help but ask as he noticed that Leo was still in the kitchen. 

"Just leave him be for now," Angel replied as she then leads everyone to start preparing. 

Princess Tifa and Princess Tila were both in-charged of distracting Selina and letting her stay as far away as possible from Elmont's training ground until they are not finished with everything yet.

Elvis was in-charged of watching over the chefs preparing for Elmont and Selina's dinner. Of course, he had already received a list of Selina's favorite dishes from Elmont. As for the kitchen, they naturally didn't choose the same kitchen where Elmont had cooked his dish, in fear that the unbearable smell inside would affect the dishes.

Iasiah and Nightingale were both in-charged of decorating the surrounding using both Ice Element Magic spells and Dark Element Magic spells. 

Angel prepared the table and other stuff to make the atmosphere romantic for both Elmont and Selina. 

While last but not the least, Elmont was simply informed to be himself and follow whatever his heart wants him to do for Selina. 

After assigning everyone, they then quickly started the preparation.

.....

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen, Leo felt a bit surprised after tasting the vegetable soup that he had cooked using the same exact ingredients that Elmont had used in cooking his dish.

It wasn't really that difficult to determine the ingredients used as there were basically obvious traces of the ingredients being used lying around the kitchen. 

The exact reason why he was surprised was that even though he had just put all of the ingredients of the vegetable soup randomly and had even deliberately done everything badly so as to try and have the same result as Elmont's vegetable soup, the taste of his dish actually still ended up tasting a lot better compared to Elmont's vegetable soup. 

Although it wasn't really something that good, it was at least a dish that people could eat and not vomit like what they have experienced before.

"This is interesting," Leo muttered to himself while looking at the vegetable soup made by Elmont. As if remembering something, a sudden inspiration hit his mind.

He quickly grabbed a spoonful of Elmont's vegetable soup and put it on his vegetable soup. 

At first, the purple liquid of Elmont's vegetable soup stayed in one spot, but as time passes, it slowly started to spread until eventually, it turned his entire vegetable soup the same as Elmont's. 

As if it wasn't yet enough, Leo grabbed that bowl and pour it on the rest of his vegetable soup. 

Just like what had happened just now, the rest of the vegetable soup slowly became the same as Elmont's vegetable soup as if it was getting infected. 

However, to his shocked, after all of his vegetable soup became the same as Elmont's vegetable soup, it then suddenly started decreasing in size, and its purple color changes color until only leaving only a small bubbling sticky black liquid.
