After a decent amount of time traveling, the carriage had a stop at an inn just by the road. It was exclusively opened just for them to have lunch according to Mineah, and Xenia was grateful that King Nikolai was considerate enough to make sure that their travel would be smooth without any disturbances.
Sitting down, the food served on the table was like a feast, with stuffed chickens, quarters of a stag, loins of veal covered with pomegranate seeds, sugar plums, and sauces. There were even vegetables and pies as well.
Looking at the spread, Xenia was surprised to see the Vampire King heartily eating those meals alongside them. She had thought that Nikolai wouldn't enjoy these types of dishes since he preferred blood, but she supposed that she was wrong in that regard.
In all honesty, she had already prepared herself to eat without care despite imagining the latter drinking raw blood in front of them.
