The Great Feast — Episode 3

It's scorching. I quit. This damn heat drains all my strength. Restrain your anger, my lord. The well water's freshly drawn, still cool. Doesn't quench my thirst. Still hot, everything's unbearable.

Go to the armory now and fetch my weapon designs. Anyone who's late answers to me. Yes, my lord. I'll go at once. Damn it! The ice was all used up for the floor plans.

Where am I supposed to find more ice? I'm done for. Even the ice basin broke. I had no ice to deliver,

and now the basin's smashed too. No way I'm escaping this. Hey! Come with me if you want to live.

No ice in storage? No problem. Behind the palace freezer, there's natural frost on the wall. Scrape it down, and it'll serve as ice. Keep an eye on the door.

Only take this pure white frost. Skip any gritty bits. This is from the freezer wall, you know! Can you really make ice for the prince?

It's frost, not edible. Set the bowl over water, leave a tiny gap, so outside water absorbs heat,

while clean water inside freezes. They never mix. Ice must form before the incense burns out. Follow me exactly, not one misstep.

Swirl it gently, then strain it again. No coarse chunks allowed.
