“Your Majesty, I’m honored to have you as a guest in my home. Everyone here welcomes you today.”

The young woman’s voice rang through the room like the sound of a glass bell.

However, her tone was cold as the words slipped from her petite lips.

She was the youngest candidate for queen, and daughter of the duke who controlled the western region of Wolfvarte.

Once I’d exchanged greetings with Lady Natalie, taking a moment to observe her doll-like face, we took our seats at the dining table.

Our conversation was brief, only a sentence or two each, until Lady Natalie exchanged glances with her servant.

The food was carried to us, and with it, an assaulting smell.

I kept my expression composed, but on the inside, I wanted nothing more than to be back home.

Each dish was set onto the table—piles of food heaped atop the golden-accented white plates.

Silver cutlery lay at our place settings.

This was customary among high society in our world, due to how silver reacted when coming into contact with poison.

I picked up my fork, used it to form a single bite of ham and cheese, then carried the appetizer to my lips.

…Salty and spicy. Yep.

The ham was sprinkled with pepper and nutmeg, stinging the inside of my mouth as soon as it made contact. I couldn’t even feel the texture of the ham, the way the tip of my tongue had gone numb from the spices.

Even the cheese was covered in seasoning. My poor tongue never had a moment’s rest.

Years of eating the rich food of high society should have left me accustomed to it by now, but this was even worse than usual. It wasn’t even a question of quality—I was basically eating a plate of spices, at that point.

“How do you find it, Your Majesty? The spices are imported through the harbor in my territory, and the food is the prize work of my incredibly skilled chef. Is it acceptable?

“…Thank you for using so many of your exquisite spices on my behalf. That’s very generous of you.”

I gave her the most dignified smile I could muster and answered in a way that wouldn’t hurt Lady Natalie’s feelings. In truth, I wanted nothing more than to leave the table entirely, but it was important that I mind my manners.

The man standing by the window broke out in a proud smile when he heard my praise. He was wearing a white chef’s uniform, so I assumed he was the villa’s head chef. He stood tall and proud, basking in the glow of his accomplishment.

I got the feeling the two of us wouldn’t get along very well.

In addition to the rich food, he seemed rather emboldened by the praise for his cooking. Neither of those things made me particularly want to become acquainted with him any further.

After lunch was served, Lady Natalie and I continued on with a smattering of conversation as we ate.

From what I’d heard, the girl was one year younger than me, making her sixteen years old. She conducted herself in a very proper manner, but something about her seemed quiet and almost cold.
