I’m a Villainess but I’m Good at Cooking

I became a villainess in a novel.

And not just any villainess, but one at the point of being kicked out of her family after committing various evil deeds!

With no choice but to make a living, I became a street vendor, but……

Suddenly, I was kidnapped by the Imperial Prince who was also the hidden mastermind in the story.

“The reason I brought you here, my lady, is because I would like you to become my chef.”

No way, who recruits someone like this?

After many twists and turns, I thought I would walk a smooth but boring path as the Emperor’s personal chef, but……

***

“I never thought such flavor could exist. Please take me as your disciple!”

Even the genius young alchemist,

“You’re the only chef I acknowledge. So never stop cooking. Understand?”

Even the rival chef who was initially snippy,

“Arrrr!”

Even the mysterious pet fox that’s docile only to me but ferocious to everyone else.

They all completely fell for my food.

And, above all else……

“You are under my protection. So do not fear anything.”

Why is Kailos Oberon, who was clearly the hidden mastermind in the story, paying so much attention to me?
