The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 46 - PREPARING A SPECIAL DINNER

ASTRID was busy at the kitchen. He was preparing a special dinner for his parents. Because tonight was the night that he and Reas would tell their parents of their plan to study at the capital.

Their parents were currently in town to watch a movie. He bought tickets for the latest blockbuster movie and gave them to his parents. Telling that they should go on a date once in a while. At his insistence, the two finally agreed and went to town. Of course, that was just a ploy to get them out of the house.

With them gone, Astrid could prepare a sumptuous dinner without their knowledge. He wasnʼt worried that his parents would eat outside and return late. Because their family rarely missed eating dinner together. Besides, his cooking was much better compared to those chefs out there. His parents would definitely prefer eating the food he cooked than some random personʼs.

While he was busy at the kitchen, his twin brother was setting up the table at their back garden. Not only that, he was also in-charge in decorating the garden to set-up a good ambience. To make their parents more relaxed. He was truly hoping that with his and Reasʼ joint efforts, they would not be too against at the idea of them studying at the capital.

He put the diced chicken on the wok, alongside red pepper and peanuts. He was really grateful that the smart people of this era started to genetically grow these animal and plants a few hundred years ago. This way, people today could also grow and eat these products. And because of that, Astrid could cook the dishes that he knew without worrying if the ingredients were available or not.

He concentrated on frying the ingredients on the wok.

Their original plan of having the dinner at the lake was scrapped by both him and Reas. How could they still choose that place after what happened a week ago? What if some weird guy came crashing down the place again and disrupted their plans? Just remembering all the events that happened last week made him donʼt want to go near that lake ever again.

The only thing he was glad for after all that trouble was the fact that the prince didnʼt come back again. Nor did he send any of his minions to trouble their family. It seemed that his plan did work.

Although he was indeed a bit worried that once he became a well-known actor, that prince would find out that the way he acted cowardly was just him ʼactingʼ. Then he might retaliate against him. But then he also thought that by the time that happened, that guy might have already forgotten the things he experienced here in Delryria. Including meeting him.

Besides, Wulfric de Lunaris certainly didnʼt look the type whoʼs familiar with famous actors and actresses in the Empire. So, really, he shouldnʼt be worried about it too much.

Right now, the thing he should be most worried about was if his parents would agree to him and Reas studying at the capital. Thereʼs only a little about two months left before the start of the new school year. The two of them should be at the capital at least a week before that. The travel time from this planet to the capital was a week. And thatʼs already the shortest estimate. Because sometimes, problems might arise during space warping. That meant that they should leave here at least a month before the new school year started.

Thatʼs why they needed to convince their parents to approve of their decision as soon as possible.

Astrid was finally done cooking the kung pao chicken. This was also the last dish he had to make. He glanced at the wall clock and saw that itʼs probably almost time for his mother and father to return from their movie date. He quickly put the kung pao chicken on a plate and arranged it beautifully.

After that, he also started to arrange the other dishes he cooked. There was mapo tofu, spring rolls, chow-mein, sweet and sour spare ribs, and some wonton noodles. He also made different kinds of dimsums. For dessert, he made some raspberry flavored snowflake cake.

Just as he finished arranging the dishes to their respective plates, Reas entered the kitchen.

”Wow. You really made a feast,” he said while looking at the dishes on the table. Smelling all the delicious scents around, he couldnʼt help but gulped.

”Good. Youʼre here. Help me bring it outside,” Astrid said as he removed the apron he was wearing.

They first took the sweet and sour spare ribs and kung pao chicken out. All the dishes were on a special plate that would keep them in the right temperature. Reaching the back garden, Astrid clearly saw the effort that his brother had put into decorating the place.

He glanced at him. ”Good job.”

Reas only shrugged. ”Well, a lot is depending on this. I should at least do my part well.”

They started to arrange the dishes on the table. It took at least about ten minutes to finish everything properly.

”Theyʼre here,” Reas said after hearing the sound of a flying car stopping in front of their house.

Astrid looked at his brother. ”Letʼs do this.”

The twins fist bumped before walking back into the house to welcome their parents. Both were hoping for only one thing - that they managed to convince their parents to allow them to study at the capital.
