Before leaving, Eleanor put on makeup for Liam to cover the injuries on his face so he wouldn't embarrass himself. That was why no one saw the bruises.

"Liam!"

Dominik sternly reminded, "There is no distinction between high and low in professions. Eleanor has always been interested in new things and is willing to learn sincerely. You should learn from her."

"I... Hmph..."

Liam sat on the couch and let out a dissatisfied snort, grumbling, "You're the eldest brother, so whatever you say is right."

"Hahaha... You brothers have such a good relationship. Seeing you reminds me of when I was young and had the same temperament as His Highness Prince Liam."

Crayson cooperatively commented before adding, "You guys have a seat and enjoy your time. I'll go to the study to do something."

"Alright. Master Waylen. Go ahead," Dominik said politely as he stood up.

Crayson nodded slightly to Dominik, turned around, and went upstairs to the study.

In the study, Hayley was sitting at the desk reading a book.

Hearing the sound in the room, she looked up and saw Crayson walking over. "They haven't left?"

Crayson closed the door and sighed. "They want to have lunch here. Eleanor unexpectedly asked Iron Pillar to be her master and teach her how to cook. That lady is not to be underestimated."

"Iron Pillar is just an ordinary person. Eleanor targeting him indicates she might be trying to recruit him as a spy, though her intentions remain uncertain."

Hayley analyzed the situation.

"If you put it that way, it seems that we can put Iron Pillar to good use." Crayson also came up with a plan.

"No rush. Let's observe first."

"Yes, Madam Hayley." Crayson nodded and then said, "They are all dining downstairs. I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for lunch."

"It's alright."

Hayley didn't mind.

At noon, with Eleanor's help, Matthew prepared a table full of delicious dishes, all of which were Bloomstead's specialty.

Crayson, Mateo, Veronica, and the Ledger siblings gathered in the dining room as they got ready to eat.

At this moment, Eleanor stood up and announced, "Wait. My master personally prepared this meal. He must join us."

Veronica also wanted Matthew to sit at the same table and eat with her.

However, she had some concerns.

First, she was worried about Matthew exposing his identity, and second, she couldn't replace a reasonable excuse for him to join the meal.

If she showed too much concern for him, it would inevitably lead to Matthew being exposed.

Now that Eleanor took the initiative to suggest it, she also followed along. "Yes, Her Highness is right."

"How can a mere chef sit at the table?" Liam strongly opposed it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eleanor threw him a glance. "Do you think chefs are lowly? Don't forget that all the dishes on this table were prepared by him. Furthermore, he will be my master in the future. won't allow you to disrespect him!"

She assumed the demeanor of the leader of the hidden clan, her expression icy and imposing, casting a sense of intimidation.

Liam pursed his lips and coldly snorted. He didn't say anything else after that.

His aggrieved appearance was just like that of an upset wife.

Veronica noticed that Liam had no say at all in front of Dominik and Eleanor.

"Master, come sit here. Come over to my side."

Eleanor tapped Mateo on the shoulder. "Mateo, can you scoot over? I want my master to sit next to me."

Eleanor had Dominik on her left and Mateo on her right. Veronica was directly across from her.
