There was fluffy bread, wine purchased from the royal capital at a high price, honey-roasted apples exuding a sweet fragrance, vegetable soup white as milk steaming hot, and so on...
There were over ten different kinds of dishes, nearly covering the ten-meter-long wooden table; it was evident that Viscount Herbert really valued them.
Of course, Jasmine knew very well in her heart that these people must have come targeting the Black Dragon.
Although Viscount Herbert concealed it well, constantly chatting with Jasmine about customs and weather conditions to keep her from feeling neglected, the eyes of the head knight beside him were always glued to the Black Dragon.
