Chapter 56

After a while, Diego came back with a wooden barrel (which Kaiden had made to use as a bowl) filled with the butchered duck and water.

Then he hung a clay pot on the support frame over the blazing firewood.

When the water began to boil, a savory aroma filled the entire cabin. Only then did the Prince of Asdal, who had disappeared to the second floor room, come down.

‘He’s annoying. Should I tell them not to give him food?’

I seriously considered it, but since there was no other choice, I left it alone for now. You don’t mess around with food. Whatever else might happen, food should always be treated with sincerity.

Besides, it didn’t seem like the Prince of Asdal’s prejudice toward me would change anytime soon.

I just need to find out what the key is for and then leave, so I’ll endure it until then.

I sat quietly in my place and received the duck stew that Diego served in a coconut bowl.

The dining table in the kitchen was for one person and mainly used only when cooking (though it’s embarrassing to even call it cooking), so we all sat on the wide floor.

Even the Prince of Asdal seemed embarrassed to sit alone at that table while leaving Enoch behind, so he followed and sat next to us.

There wasn’t much meat mixed in the stew. With two young ducks feeding seven people, it couldn’t be helped.

I was fine with it, but it must be troublesome for the men with me.

‘Still, I’m happy to eat meat after such a long time.’

I tilted the coconut bowl and slurped the broth.

‘It would be nice if we had kimchi too.’

I was thinking such thoughts while diligently emptying the stew.

If only Kaiden, who was sitting across from me, wasn’t resting his chin on his hand and staring intently at me, I could have continued eating.

I eventually put down the coconut bowl and looked back at him.

Then Kaiden smiled broadly as if he had been waiting for this. He really was quite handsome.

“You seem to like duck, Margaret. I like you.”

Cough.

It wasn’t me who choked, but Archbishop Luzef.

As he kept coughing as if he might die, Diego quietly brought him water.

Seeing that Archbishop Luzef had calmed down a bit, I responded to Kaiden.

“I know that’s not true. Just tear off your wings.”

Even after being rebuffed, Kaiden was laughing happily for some reason.

I really can’t figure out what he’s thinking. That’s why I couldn’t simply accept his kindness as something good.

I looked at Kaiden with an uneasy expression and sighed. According to the immutable law of the original story, I might end up being killed in some other way at this rate.

‘Right, original story or whatever, I just need to escape and survive first.’

That’s what I decided. I’ll survive somehow.

While making such a resolution, I heard Enoch and the Prince of Asdal arguing.

“Stop being troublesome and eat. Can’t you see Margaret is uncomfortable?”

“What, can’t I even speak? I should at least be able to complain that it doesn’t taste good. You really have no flexibility, just like before and now.”

“Right. I have no flexibility, so I don’t say the same thing twice. While your teeth are still properly attached to your mouth, shut up and eat.”

That sounded like he was saying he’d pull out all of the Prince of Asdal’s teeth if he didn’t like it. That was probably exactly what he meant.

At Enoch’s murderous muttering, the Prince of Asdal covered his mouth with a pale face. Then he glanced at Enoch and quietly closed his mouth to eat the stew.

I wonder who’s the one without flexibility.

Watching the Prince of Asdal tap the coconut bowl against his lips with his mouth shut, Enoch said irritably.

“Eat properly.”

“Phew. I thought you had learned a new torture method or something. I thought you were ostracizing me since I’m the only person from Hestia here.”

Doesn’t he realize that the Prince of Asdal is the one ostracizing everyone else?

From what I could see, the Prince of Asdal didn’t seem close to Yuanna and Diego either. Those two seemed close to each other though.

“It might be good to create a new torture method from now on.”

“Having long conversations also goes against dining etiquette, so I’ll finish eating my stew now.”

The Prince of Asdal smiled smugly and finally drank his stew properly.

Diego and Yuanna were busy eating their stew earnestly, while on the other side, Archbishop Luzef was grabbing Kaiden by the collar, shaking him and getting angry.

It was quite noisy.

With more companions, there were more things to worry about, and more annoying and troublesome aspects increased too.

This kind of bustling life was something I was experiencing for the first time in my life.

I watched that scene blankly and thought.

I want to go home.
