Following Louis's instructions, the kitchen staff had prepared steak as the main dish, along with several other dishes. When they sat down for dinner, Elodie was shocked to see the table completely filled with food.
"Does Lord Louis eat all this every day?" she asked.
"No. It is for my special guest," Louis answered, smiling.
The maids served the meals, and at Louis's request, they left the room to give them privacy.
"I am not used to using a fork and knife, though," Elodie admitted, wondering how to eat her steak. She glanced across the table at Louis, who was cutting his food quite gracefully.
She attempted to cut the meat herself, but Louis gently pulled her plate away and slid his own neatly cut portion toward her. "Eat this," he said.
