Chapter 128

"The bread is a little dry, but it's much better with the stew."

Rubica nodded to that and started to happily eat the stew made of carrot, pumpkin, and beef with the bread. Ann could only cover her mouth with both hands at seeing that.

'Then she hasn't been able to eat well in the morning because…'

Ann didn't scold Elise. She rather gladly split the food in two and put it on Elise's and Rubica's plate. Later, she even brought a chair and ate with them.

"Thank you."

After the meal, Rubica whispered to Elise. She knew Elise had been courageous just for her. She only had a meal with her, but it required great courage since position and rank were very important in Seritos.

Elise was quite touched to hear that as it had been just a small act of kindness. Rubica was the duchess, so she could have taken her goodwill for granted, but she didn't forget to thank her. However, Elise was the one who was supposed to be grateful considering how much she had been helped by Rubica.
