Chapter 49: A Cold Embrace

'I can't believe he really liked it,' Mineah happily mused. She was almost sure that what she cooked was going to be inedible. But surprisingly, Nikolai seemed to enjoy it. In fact, he looked so into it that she wanted to have a taste as well.

"How about me?" she murmured with a pout. 

Nikolai coughed. "Oh, I'll cook a few skewers for you then."

Mineah blinked as she then watched Nikolai grab a portion of the meat and began roasting it over the fire. Silently, she simply observed him as he went through the motions.

"This was my first time doing this," Mineah honestly admitted. Usually, it was Krisha who would prepare their meals whenever they went outside the wilderness to gather materials for her experiments and potions.

Unfortunately, cooking wasn't really a part of what she learned as a princess of Ebodia. After all, they had servants to do it for her. Instead, she was mostly taught other crafts more suited for someone of her stature.
