Dinner with the prince is spectacular.
The food was amazingly done, baby back ribs drizzled with a peculiar sauce, matched with buttery mashed potatoes and grape wine. Of course, different varieties of fruits were present but I rarely touched them since I got tired of eating only fruits for the past few days.
"So, how did you spend your days while I was gone?" After swallowing the food he was chewing, prince Lucius asked me in a very kind voice, showing interest in what I did.
I felt kind of awkward to speak about how many times I lost to Faerus in that checker game, especially when there are at least 10 servants standing from a far, stiffly watching us, waiting for any orders from the prince.
It was only us three who were seated at the overly long table yet we sat close to each other.
