"Eat!"
A gruff-looking man placed a plate of meat in front of a young woman and exited abruptly. From the shadows, Mina observed the woman inside the tent, peering cautiously from the opening.
The woman looked out of place in a tent. She didn't look like someone who would hang out with bandits from the way she dressed!
A thin veil covered the woman's face from the nose down. Observing her closely, Mina noticed the dress she wore. She could tell that it was supposed to be a pale shade of pink almost looked brown. It seems like it hasn't been changed for days!
'She looks young.'
She slowly made her way into the tent, planning to steal a piece of meat when the lady was not looking. But before she can enact the plan, the lady caught sight of her. In a sweet and gentle voice that was as soft as a whisper, the lady beckoned her closer.
"Cat, do you want to eat?"
'Oh gosh! This woman's voice sounds so good.'
The lady took a piece of meat and laid it on the ground.
From her new vantage point, she clearly saw the woman's figure. Checking out the lady's figure, she couldn't help but feel jealous. The woman had a body she could only dream of.
Her eyes remained on the woman's chest for a few more seconds. Once again, the woman extended her arm, motioning on the food on the ground.
Snapping out of her ruminating thoughts, she looked at the meat on the ground. The food was not exactly on a plate but at least she's not eating raw meat!
Before getting a mouthful of meat, she tried to look for Tarou to share her loot. Her friend was nowhere to be found. The smell of the freshly-cooked meat wafted through the air, making her hungrier.
'He might scare this nice lady anyway.'
Without any qualms, she pounced on it right away, savoring the taste.
She looked at the lady gratefully as if she is a goddess bestowing her a huge favor.
'There are still good people on this planet.'
The lady was looking intently at her as she ate. She has been lost on recounting the woman's virtues as she finished off the last bite of meat.
'Maybe this lady liked cats too. Could she possibly be a crazy cat lady?'
Looking up with eyes full of hope, she saw the woman removing her face covering with dainty fingers. Her mouth fell open at the sight of this lady's full face.
'If I have been half as beautiful as her, I could catch a rich sugar daddy and live like a princess.
'She looks like she's just 15 or 16 and she's clearly a D-cup! I had to stuff socks on my bra at that age just to look great in my clothes!'
'Jealousy crept up her body once again – this lady is not just pretty and well-endowed, she had a heavenly-voice too and a gentle personality.'
The young woman reached out for another piece of meat and laid it on the ground.
'This woman will even share food with a cat. Awwww... she's too good to be true!'
Snapping out of her jealous tirade, she realized that just like the men outside, she was garbed in medieval garments. She had a longsleeved pink dress on with a modest neckline. The design looks like something her grandma would wear.
A few minutes later, she heard the woman's melodious voice.
"So, they're not planning to poison me."
Mina snapped her head up when she heard the woman.
Ha! She was just used to test for poison. This woman had gall!
'I'm too soft, I always see the good in people and judge them to be sincere right away. There is no medicine for regret.'
If you are using me, I would accept food as compensation.
She quickly finished off the piece of meat on the ground and pounced on the plate containing meat.
She reached out for another piece of meat directly from the bowl, deliberately licking all the pieces.
"Lady, since you want a poison taster, I will grant your wish. I will taste each piece for you."
She didn't care if all the woman heard was Meows! Her ferocious stare should get the message across.
She gave the woman another menacing look while slobbering on the meat and grabbing another piece.
'I'll get some to go. Thank's for the meal.'
Surprised at what she did, the woman could only look at the disappearing form of a black cat who strutted out of the tent like a haughty empress.
'It didn't matter how pretty the woman was! She wronged me so she deserved it!'
The black cat spied Tarou holding on to a piece of food while waiting for her outside the tent's opening. As they disappeared undetected in the dark, the bandits heard the young lady's angry screams.
"I'm a princess!!! How can I be reduced to eating a cat's leftovers!!!"
