Chapter 176: Chapter 176 - Quiet Before The Tempest

"Now how stupid is that?" Big Cook said and a peal of laughter filled the kitchen.

"Stupid?" Belladonna asked, looking away from the man who didn't seem ready to offer any explanation, to the direction she had heard the voice that promised a story.

"It is a name from a child's story."

"Fae tale." Another provided.

"Fairytale, you mean."

"It's stupid ya think." Big Cook added.

"What is the fairytale about?" Belladonna asked. For some reason her heart kept pounding, the sound of it overwhelming her mind.

"Silly kids ya claim to see what ain't there. Idiots. Don't worry none about it, Milady. It's all bullocks!"

They burst into laughter again, like this was the most ridiculous thing they would ever hear.
