Lucien Josselin Richelieu sniffed the air as he entered the royal garden, as usual he was looking for fresh ingredients to cook with but he also enjoyed walking the grounds to take in inspiration for his food from nature herself. He crouched down besides a young gourd still growing and ran his fingers over it, inspecting its beauty. Lucien admired the Gods handiwork, and reflected that while he might never reach their craftsmanship, it was a noble goal pursuing nonetheless. 

After he had finished with the gourd, he looked up to see the young princess Amalia also in the gardens. "Hello your highness" he said bowing.
