Chapter 2
" this is the lord who was betrayed by her vassal. my heart is feel like torn into two ...! "
“That would be your stomach.”
“Stomach, heart, they’re both in my chest! Same difference!”
"sure" Fyshe sighed and then took seat."This is the only one time, Your Highness. I'm not that big eater."
"I believed in Fyshe! After all, the one who should have it is a loyal retainer! Oh, by the way, Fyshe if you’re going to eat, I suppose I can order some cake for dessert. How many do you want?”
"............"
"Oh, what's wrong? Seeing a pig that doesn't learn seems to that refuses to learn from past mistake. It’s like your eyes tell me everything: ‘Oh, she’s hopeless. I guess there’s no harm in being kind to her until she’s ready for slaughter."
"Please be assured.your not imagining things."
'What does mean', Lowellmina cocked her head.
Ignoring her master, Fyshe tucked into her meal and after a dozen minutes, the two had polished off the plates.
"Ah ... no more. I ate for three days. I can't eat any more. I can’t eat another bite.
I’m going to become a cow.”
Fyshe said to Lowellmina, who was leaning back on chair. "But we managed to eat it. you don't need a cake."
"Oh, I eat it."
“...Didn’t you just say you ate enough for three days?"
“But it’s technically only one meal.”
It made no sense, but she seems want eat cake anyway.
In front of Fyshe, Lowellmina proudly speaks."Soljest might be in the culinary hall of
fame, but it doesn’t even compare to the Empire.
This cake is delicious. Fluffy with a mixture of wheat, egg yolk and precious sugar decorated with jam and seasonal fruits! It looks so sweet and divine."
"By the way, Your Highness is not the first to come to this store."
"Yeah. I used to come here when I was at the military academy. They can only make so many cakes a day, so we always fought over who would get to eat one.”
Lowellmina turns her gaze far away as if nostalgic.
From her standpoint as a princess, she could call the chef to the palace instead of visiting the establishment herself. She could take a single bite and throw the
rest out..
(... this is a store that she used to go to with classmates)
That explained why Lowellmina had insisted on visiting, ordering mountains of food, polishing off her plates, and reminiscing about old friends. It was easy to brush it off as mere sentimentality, but Fyshe did no such thing. She offered a gentle smile"Hmm, it seems that Fyshe is also interested in cakes."
"... Well, that's what your Royal Highness says."
Fyshe nodded a little to the lord who misunderstood her smile as an interest.
Then they ate the cake that was brought in, thoroughly enjoying sweet aroma and texture, then sat through the ensuing pain. They couldn’t eat another bite.
"-So" When it was comfortable, Fyshe asked "How was it, Your Highness. What was your thoughts of city so far ?"
"As expected, the capital of the empire. It was noisy and energetic as usual.”
Lowellmina might have chosen this shop out of nostalgia, but she had other reasons for stepping out of the castle. By seeing the city for herself,she could feel out its vibe.
