The table in the dining room was already set with three or four dishes, and dishes were continuously being placed on the ten stoves. In less than five minutes after Aurora started, the table was filled with more than twenty dishes, each with different flavors and colors.
Aurora looked at the exaggerated spread of food on the table, and his eyes widened.
"Gabriel Uncle, how come there's such a feast? Is it specially prepared for me? But how did you know I would come out at this time?"
General laughed in a feigned manner, "Today, some guests came to the mansion. Originally, we arranged a feast for four tables, but one table of guests didn't show up, and the dishes weren't served. They just left, and I was thinking about how to handle all this food when Miss arrived."
The head chef next to them twitched his eyebrows.
The General clearly ordered them to prepare a lot of ingredients so that they could immediately have a meal as soon as Miss came out. They worked hard every day, every hour, and every moment. It exhausted them! Now he was saying it was leftover food...
Ah!
"Oh, I see! I'm so lucky," Aurora smiled, not suspecting anything, and began to eat slowly and methodically with a cheerful smile.
Seeing that Aurora, who hadn't eaten for three days, was still eating elegantly and not wolfing down the food, General felt a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Miss, what flavor of dishes do you like? I'll arrange the dishes for you."
"No need, no need. I'm not picky. I can handle it myself."
"Alright, alright! As long as you like it!"
Although General said so, he still took great care to arrange the dishes for Aurora. How did she resemble a General? He was clearly a devoted super dad!
Watching Aurora enjoy the meal, General's face blossomed.
Outside the door, Deputy General Fredrick eyes twitched.
He just didn't understand. Miss just punished Jonathan's family a bit, and the General was so excited? When Miss hadn't fallen for Jonathan before, why wasn't she this enthusiastic? However...
Miss seemed to have really changed.
Fredrick couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. At least, Miss's smile now looked beautiful, sweet, and dazzling. Whereas before, he always felt that Miss's smile was fake and artificial.
"By the way, Miss, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Seven days ago, the Emperor issued an edict for me to return to the capital for a report next month. Originally, I planned to go alone, but today, the Emperor issued another edict, asking me to bring the eighty thousand Devlin family army back to the capital.
Considering all that happened before, it's likely related to Jonathan. We imprisoned his family, confiscated his property, and he won't just let it go. So, I want to take Miss with me, just to be safe. What do you think?"
"Sure! That rascal Jonathan. I was going to let him off before. Since he doesn't know how to appreciate it and acts arrogant after benefiting, then let him regret it."
General looked at Aurora, his face showing a contented smile.
"Well... Miss, how long do you need to stay in the room?"
"No need to stay. As long as Ling Uncle is ready, I can leave anytime."
"Good. Shall we depart in five days?"
"Sure." Aurora agreed with a nod.
General felt relieved.
Every year when the Emperor summoned him back to the capital for a report, he always found various excuses not to go.
But this time was different.
