Just then, the water from the nipa hut boiled loudly and Vita gasped as soon as she realized it.
" Goodness! Our dinner!"
She panicked run to the hut to check it and sure enough, the stew
In the end, the stew she cooked was burned. The potatoes were too blanched, the carrots absorbed too much water and the chicken meat looks far from being meat by how dark it is. As dark as the coil.
To think this happened when Prince Ares visited! She felt like digging her own grave. If her mother were to see her right now, she would be horrified!
She turned to Ares who was laughing, "I apologize, your highness. I'll cook again-"
"It's fine. You're a great cook. I'm sure it will still taste the same."
"The..same? Are you sure your highness?" She asked, showing him the dark meat as dark as the coil.
Ares squinted his eyes for a minute at the food, smiling sheepishly"Is that even…a soup? Are you really feeding my brother well?"
