I am the village cook. It is my duty to prepare meals for the military and the peasants. I keep my work space clean and I only use local ingredients.
Hello kid, I am doing great today and yeah, I am making my special roast beef recipe for the king, he just loves it. How about you have a few minutes to gaze in the crystal ball while I help myself to some of that delicious roast beef? Surely the king won't mind... Do you want me to lose my head kid? the king is the first to eat in the palace here watch the crystal ball until the food is ready  I'm so very sorry Cook! I totally forgot my place! Please forgive my trespass. I will sit quietly over here by the fire, out of the way. Its ok, I  was a kid once and I get it, you are hungy dont worry the food will be ready soon enough and youll be next after the king eats, I promise Oh thank you! And after everything settles down you can look into the crystal ball as long as you desire. You never know what secrets of the future it may reveal to you. That would be great child, the food is almost ready I am exited to look at the crystal ball, maybe I will become the greatest chef all all 7 kingdoms, that is my dream But cook, do you not know that you are already quite famous, not just here in the palace, but throughout the kingdoms? I think your dream is not so far away. Really? I didnt know I was famous in other kingdoms as well, thak you kid, your words really cheer me up, theres extra dessert for you today, I am in a great mood I may just have to try one of those blueberry turnovers, just for quality assurance of course.  I guess thats possible, here have some but try not to eat too many, you wont be able to eat dinner then.  Thank you! You are not only a great chef but also a kind person. And I promise to never divulge your secret recipe for these wonderful pastries!
