Now was not the time to eat. . A little girl with bobbed hair approached me.
It was Luna, a girl who became my exclusive maid after I was imprisoned here. Luna was the only person who would talk to me other than the priest.
“You should eat it while it’s still warm.”
A voice full of worry begged me.
My heart clenched when I saw her face, but now I don’t think I could even force a spoonful down my throat.
“I’ll eat it later, leave it there.”
I thought about it for a while, but I still refused to eat. If I had not been forced into this situation, I would not be starving myself.
It’s already been a week since I have been imprisoned in this big room doing absolutely nothing. .
In the meantime, Lionel did not even show his face. I was going to fix the misunderstanding when I saw him again, but I have yet to see him..
I had no appetite for this situation. No matter what delicious food they served me, it would all taste like sand.
As I lowered my head and avoided her eyes, Luna approached me and cried. Still, Luna’s reactions can’t be helped.
“The chef made duck soup specially for you. .”
“Hmm?”
However, the story was different when it came to duck soup.
‘That snobbish old man personally made duck soup for me?”
I peeked at the tray with a look of surprise, I saw a bowl that was steaming up.
I smelled something fragrant, something that I had never tasted before. My mouth began watering.
Duck soup!
My favourite type of soup!
I couldn’t take my eyes off the bowl, so Luna came up and said,
“I heard this is Madam Lindel’s favourite food. Since you arrived here, everyone has been worried because you haven’t eaten. Please take a bite for their sincerity.”
Luna was begging me to eat.
This never had anything to do with today’s menu, duck soup.
A young and innocent girl was crying because of me. Now, I had to eat even if it tasted like sand in my mouth. The reason that made her cry was clearly against the chivalry.
Even though I was misunderstood and deprived of my position as a knight, I, the vice commander, will keep my oath until my death.
“I’ll eat a little, considering the sincerity of you and the chef.”
“Yes! I’ll prepare it right away!”
When I got up and sat myself down at the table, Luna came to me with a tray.
The skin of the immaculate duck in front of me was beautiful. I began to drool and hurriedly held the spoon in my hand.
“I have no appetite.”
I said for no reason as I secretly swallowed my saliva.
I was fighting against myself to not get pulled in by the duck soup. Fortunately, Luna didn’t realize it.
“You have to eat, even if it is a little. You’re not feeling well, but if you eat well, you’ll have the strength to fight the illness!”
At Luna’s words, the hand holding the spoon tightened.
It was very uncomfortable to hear what she said from my point of view. When I heard such words from Luna’s mouth, I felt distressed.
When I put down the spoon that was aiming for the duck soup and looked at Luna, her eyes began to water.
“I’ll be okay. I’ll always be on your side. I’m on Madam Lindel’s side.”
Just a week after meeting me, Luna became devoted to me. She seemed like she’d sacrifice anything for me.
On the first day, I was a bit scared. The next day, it was awkward. At one point, when I was bored and looked at the stars in the sky, Luna told me something. After I listened to her and answered appropriately, we ended up in this state.
The problem is that I don’t remember what I had said back then.
To clear up a misunderstanding, you need to remember what you said. But I don’t remember anything.
When I thought I had said something else, Luna was already crying and pledging loyalty to me.
I felt sorry for Luna, but I wasn’t happy at all.
As a grown adult deceiving an innocent child, it stabbed my conscience.
“I know I keep saying this, but I’ll be fine Luna.”
“Yes, you will be. You must be!”
Luna seemed to have no intention of listening to me. My expression was becoming more and more nervous, whereas Luna’s eyes were becoming more serious.
I gave up and held my spoon again to eat the duck soup. But a second obstacle arrived.
The knight that guarded the door entered the room. No matter how much I tried to talk to him, he never answered back. Today was the first time he has ever spoken to me.
“His Majesty has come.”
‘I haven’t even taken a bite yet!’
It was difficult to even eat once.
Nel, who had been neglecting me for the past week, came to me when I was about to eat.
If the priest had come, as usual, I would have ignored it. But it was the Emperor.
After I involuntarily put down my spoon, Nel arrived.
I hate it. No, I thought I hated it but it was nice to see Lionel’s face. What a man.
