“With the addition of savory and salty cheese, the flavour enhances without adding any other seasoning! I know it’s delicious to eat freshly grilled meat, but sometimes I want to eat beef jerky. I just followed that instinct.”
The words were long, but they were still bullishit. Even Ingrid, who had now defended her, was looking away.
“How can you eat in this situation?”
The Duke, who never lost his composure anytime or anywhere, seemed to be in a state of wonder this time.
“Of course! As I said before, if you die after eating, you’ll feel good and satisfied. You can have a peaceful death without any regrets. So, would you like one?”
Luana approached and offered a piece of jerky.
If it were the usual situation, the Duke would have slit her throat right away without any hesitation. But it was also weird. His body was craving the food. The abandoned Princess did not know that the Duke had a curse that had been passed down in his family from generation to generation. The curse grew stronger year after year, and now the Duke had almost lost his sense of taste.
Luana jumped up, grabbed the bars and shook them.
“Excuse me! Please release me! It’s not me! I think you have mistaken me!”
