The food was delicious, but not a lot of it got consumed that evening. Lady Sera was too worried about losing Prince Kaiden to eat much, Prince Kaiden kept looking at Shuu, causing his appetite to get shot. As for the others, they were too invested in the tension to eat much.
On the other side of the table, the story was different.
Shuu tried to put food in his mouth, but the sudden sour flavour was too strong. His stomach felt unsettled and his head felt dizzy.
He just wanted to go back to his room and rest, but he knew that he needed to eat something.
"Is the food not to your liking? Are the flavors too strong? Then try this…"
Nero plated some mild food for Shuu that he was able to digest. But the sudden unwanted attention from the other side of the table was killing his appetite.
"I…think I am done. I cannot eat anymore. I would like to head back and rest now."
