Amelia watched as the two unsuspecting men before her ate without caution. She was also eating, but her plate was entirely different from what they were having. She didn't make it obvious, but she had prepared another plate while they had been distracted. Now all she had to do was wait for the potions to do their job.
Simon glanced towards Lucian with every bite he took out of his food. He had been right to be wary, Amelia was an incredible cook, and Lucian was very clearly enjoying every bit of the food on his plate. He did his best to remain calm, but the smile on the prince's face only served as a fuel to his hate towards Amelia.
He pushed his plate aside, suddenly devoid of any appetite to eat. He hadn't taken more than quarter of the content on his plate while Lucian was already on his second serving. He really couldn't blame the prince, this cooking was almost on par with the one being made back at the palace, and they haven't had a proper meal in a while now.
