Lucien sat in front of the campfire, his mind racing with thoughts. However, he didn't find it that frustrating since he knew he had his women and family by his side.
His eyes scanned the campsite, taking in the bustling scene of his family preparing dinner. Amane and the other women were busy with seasoning, while Cassius was engrossed in cleaning the massive crab they had caught from the quicksand.
When Cassius noticed Lucien looking his way, he shouted, "What are you looking at?! Help me!"
He sighed and approached his father, accepting the dagger Cassius handed him. He began prying the small, thick rocks off the crab while his father used a hammer to break the larger pieces. The crab's claw was enormous, weighing nearly 100 kilograms.
As they worked, Cassius leaned closer and whispered, "So, what's the matter with Rosetta?" His tone was low, not wanting Rosetta, who was cutting corn nearby, to overhear.
