Initially, Ling Yue didnt think it was necessary to mind the unnad woman, but she began to pay more and more attention to her. She never t Sylvanas before. Nonetheless, perhaps what was more important was that she found Sylvanas to be strange, particularly when they all sat at the table for dinner, as her behaviour made her appear very suspicious.
From Sylvanas perspective, being able to sit at the table and eat was a very new experience. In the past, she did eat together with others, but they just dug in and chowed down their food. Sitting down at a table and eating using forks and knives piqued Sylvanas curiosity, but also rendered her nervous.
Sylvanas didnt dare to say a word. Instead, she closely observed the mannerisms of those around her. To be frank, she didnt quite trust Vyvyan. She couldnt shake off the feeling that Vyvyan would try and embarrass her sooner or later, so she watched Ling Yue. As a fox, Ling Yue was only a small animal despite being a carnivore. Therefore, she was very sensitive to her surroundings. She imdiately noticed the gaze on her. The gaze made her feel as though a violent beast was watching her. Her instincts as a beast encouraged her to flee imdiately, but she was the master of her ho. How can the master be the first to flee? Hence, she had to eat her al under the watch of that intense gaze.
Dinner was very sumptuous. The kitchen probably brought forth their best to prepare many delicacies for their guests. However, it tasted dry as sawdust to Ling Yue, because she just wanted to hurry and escape the gaze that frightened her.
Sylvanas imitated Ling Yue. She picked up her fork and knife. She looked at the plate in front of her and picked up a piece of stuffed rabbit. The dish was an upgraded version of food in the North. They stuffed a boneless piece of rabbit at with cream, a variety of nuts and heated it up. That way, the rabbit at would have the sweetness of the cream, eliminating the oily texture. Additionally, the cream that spilt out was extrely tasty. Children loved the sweet taste of nuts and fruit in it. It, therefore, swiftly garnered popularity in the North and beca one of the favourite dishes of nobles.
Ling Yue didnt just rip it apart with her teeth. She first cut a small hole to search for the fruit and nuts she liked inside the cream. Then, she had the cream inside before finally savouring the rabbit at. Sylvanas imitated her. She first cut open a small hole then looked at the gently swishing cream inside and spaced out. She wouldve been happier if it was a big chunk of at. However, seeing how everybody around her enjoyed it, she patiently dug around with her fork.
Fruits and nuts were a rare sight for Sylvanas, so she warily dug around inside. She pulled out her fork with sothing on it. However, the cream slid off. A mocking laugh ca from her side. Sylvanas lingered for a mont, and then lifted her fork again, only to stab nothing again.
Am I not putting enough strength into it? wondered Sylvanas.
Sylvanas stabbed down hard again. Everyone heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking, startling Ling Yue, as she thought Sylvanas finally struck. Ling Yue wore a stupefied look. Sylvanas also looked at her plate and piece of at confused. Her fork slowly rocked. She put too much force into it. As a consequence, she stabbed through the at, porcelain plate and then into the table.
Instead saying Ling Yue was surprised, itd be more accurate to say she was frightened
This wild beast has got to be too strong Just where did this formidable woman co from? Ling Yue silently questioned.
My mistake, my mistake remarked Sylvanas
Noticing everybody around looking at her, Sylvanas grabbed her fork again in a flustered manner. She pulled it out from the table, lifting up the entire table. Subsequently, everybodys plates bounced, and the piping hot cream almost spilt out.
The entire table fell into an awkward silence. Vyvyan wore a smile, showing she enjoyed Sylvanas misery but didnt say anything. Ling Yue was the first to react. She looked at the flustered dragon, and then gently cleared her throat before calling a maid over. She had the maid grab a new set of utensils for Sylvanas, and had the maid help Sylvanas separate the at. She put the at on the plate, a small bowl for the cream and another small bowl for fruits and nuts.
Sylvanas gave Ling Yue a grateful look then looked at the at in front of her. She was about to grab it with her hand, but then she rembered that she had to cut it with the fork and knife in front of her in this situation. So, she picked up her fork and knife again. This ti, she was very careful with her strength to prevent slicing the plate. She cut the at into two large pieces then stabbed into one piece. She looked left and right with a boisterous look. The small silver fork that had to bear with a life seemingly verged on the edge of snapping. Ling Yue was totally bewildered. She was very curious as to how Sylvanas was going to eat the large piece of at that was half the size of a persons face. Bear in mind that Sylvanas was in her human form.
Ling Yue couldnt figure out the dragons race from her appearance, but she was absolutely certain Sylvanas wasnt pure human or elf.
Could she be an anthropoid in the North? I only learnt her na from our self-introductions. I know nothing else about her, Ling Yue thought.
Sylvanas opened her mouth and went to put the at into her mouth. Ling Yue watched her feeling surprised. She was eager to try and figure out her race from the mont Sylvanas ate.
Judging from that way of eating is she a snake? pondered Ling Yue
But nonetheless, nothing actually happened. Vyvyan was on the verge of bursting from the laughter she was holding in. Sylvanas completely stuffed her mouth. She couldnt fit the entire piece of at into her mouth. Perplexed, she pulled the piece of at out and touched her cheeks. Her small human mouth and cheeks made it impossible to shove the piece of at into her mouth as she did in the past. Sylvanas had never eaten in her human form before. She never expected living in her human form would be such a pain. Previously, she could eat the piece of at in one go.
Sylvanas looked at the piece of at with frustration. She was about to vent, but she noticed Vyvyans serious expression next to her, so she gulped a few tis before picking her knife and fork up again.
Ling Yue was left more puzzled than ever. If Sylvanas was an anthropoid, she wouldnt have been unfamiliar with her human body parts. Anthropoids spent more ti in their human form than their beast form. Ling Yue concluded Sylvanas wasnt an anthropoid and couldnt possibly be a human or elf. The previously active trolls wouldnt be as beautiful as her. The archaic style of speech she spoke with told Ling Yue that she had be the descendant of an ancient race; however, there were very few ancient races in the North, and Ling Yue was certain that Sylvanas wasnt from one of them.
Since Sylvanas was unfamiliar with her human body, it took her a particularly long ti to eat her al. Despite having finished their als. The others didnt leave or have their plates taken away; instead, they quietly waited for her to finish.
Forks and knives were foreign to Sylvanas. Although it wasnt a problem for her to cut a simple steak, she was hopeless when beans were involved. Furthermore, she held fruit and vegetables in contempt. She only had eyes for the at and stuff made from cream.
Ling Yue felt Sylvanas was more of a beast than she was. It appeared as though Sylvas just acquired her human form, thus had yet to adapt to it. Ling Yue thought about the possibility of people around her husband transforming into a human She took in a breath and watched Sylvanas watched her put a big piece of at into her mouth and chew on it until the cream almost ran down. She shook her head in response
Ling Yue surmised, Thats impossible. Thats impossible. Not even the White Deer King would eat at if it transford into a human, right..? Sobody who has just obtained a human body will surely eat what theyre familiar with first. If shes the White Deer King, shed be vegetarian. She wouldnt be eating at as she is. Shes definitely a carnivorous wild beast.
Sylvanas finally placed her fork and knife down with satisfaction. The maids from the side served up a fruit juice in a small basin. It was the water used for washing ones hands after dinner. Ling Yue elegantly soaked her hand in the water and cleaned her fingers, only to then hear a maid opposite her shriek.
Ling Yue quickly looked over in the direction of the maid who shrieked. What she shouldve seen was the maid holding the small basin, but instead, the maid was holding Sylvanas hands. Sylvanas took the small basin and knocked back the water in it. The maid watched the woman with a dumbfounded look. She didnt dare to snatch it back or say anything; hence, she could only look at Ling Yue with despair. She stuttered, I I No Th-This Madam, she
Ling Yue supported her face with her hand and sighed. Sylvanas, satisfied, placed the small basin down. Sylvanas thought water was served up at the perfect mont. She always drank a lot of water after eating at, for it was a ans of helping her digest it. The water she had that day had a tinge of sweetness to it. Thus, she thought, This is the life of nobility, no doubt.
Ling Yue didnt comnt. Instead, she stood up. She didnt plan to leave as soon as dinner was over. Sylvanas was confused, for she didnt know where to go. Vyvyan got up and pulled Sylvanas along off to sowhere. Ling Yue walked to the break room and sat down in the armchair. She closed her eyes a little and relaxed into it. Ying then ca over and asked, Are you sowhat angry, Ling Yue?
Ling Yue smiled out of puzzlent, and then replied, Why would I be angry? Im not angry. Shes just a little odd. With that said, that doesnt anger . I wont get angry, but I really want to know her story. I dont even have a guess as to what her true identity is.
Ying wasnt sure if she should inform Ying, since it was what His Majesty personally went through, after all. She hesitated. Ling Yue stated, Tell what you know. His Majesty wont punish you for this. He wont.
