“Ehehe… I’m, I’m sorry…”
Liliana was prostrating on the floor, wearing a forced smile.
The situation is that this main heroine has eaten almost all the water and food she brought along the way.
No, I’m sure I prepared a considerable amount, but why is it already depleted? Just how much did she stuff into that stomach of hers?
I went to the trouble of preparing it as a countermeasure against food shortages, but it’s ruined right away. Damn it.
“…Well, we warned her repeatedly to hold back along the way, though.”
Lloyd says with a serious look, but he’s just as guilty for not stopping her.
Well, if he had done that, he probably would have gotten a stomach punch from a starving Liliana.
“So? Lloyd aside, what was Owen doing? If you had stopped her properly, this wouldn’t have happened…”
“N-no, it’s impossible! If there’s anyone who can resist Lady Liliana’s sad eyes, bring them here!”
Owen starts making excuses that barely qualify as excuses, sounding slightly defensive, but I should have had Liliana ride in our carriage.
If we had, we definitely would have stopped this atrocity.
“Haa… Anyway, now that our food supply is exhausted, we have no choice but to endure until everything is over.”
“…You’ve really done it now, Liliana.”
“Hii!?”
Liliana screams, glaring at Lize.
I don’t miss the fact that Christia, who is watching the scene, has a smile on her face, but the highlights have disappeared from her eyes.
“Ah… In this state of hunger, we’re going to be kept waiting at a banquet with luxurious dishes…”
“…Please don’t say that.”
Sandra strokes her small stomach and makes a dark expression at my mutterings.
“Well then, let’s all stay quietly in our rooms until the time of the Banquet. And don’t even think about touching the water or anything else provided.”
“I-I know that!”
“Auuu… I’m hungry, I’m so hungry…”
Does the lack of water and food make people this savage? Lize forgets her villainess act and shouts angrily.
And why is Liliana, the person responsible, the most hungry and sad-looking?
Then, as everyone leaves the room with heavy steps.
“Caz-san, here you go.”
“Yay! Thank you, Monica!”
For some reason, Monica is preparing a meal for Caz as usual.
“M-Monica, that…”
“I had prepared this separately, just in case, without telling anyone. However, Prince Harold’s luggage was all sacrificed along the way.”
Ah, I see.
She threw away my luggage and hid the food in the gap that was created.
I’m saved, but she really did it. Damn it.
◇
“Oh? Did it not suit Prince Owen’s taste?”
“N-no, it’s not like that…”
McLaren shows a dubious expression towards Owen, who doesn’t touch the food as the Banquet begins.
But, shouldn’t you not say that line? Owen is staring intently at the food, drooling like crazy.
Well, with this, they will understand that we are being as cautious as possible towards the Magic Tower side.
If we can thwart their plans with this, then Owen and the others’ sacrifice is a small price to pay.
By the way, we are well-prepared… I don’t want to use such a complimentary word, but we ate the food that Monica had secured in advance, so we won’t show a disgraceful figure even with luxurious dishes in front of us.
However, that excludes Owen, Liliana, Lloyd, and Marion.
Liliana, who ate all the water and food, is a given, and Owen and Lloyd, who couldn’t stop her, are just as guilty. We’ll let them be hungry to the limit and reflect on their actions.
As for Marion, she is an enemy in the first place, so I have no intention of sharing with her. If she doesn’t like it, she can put her mouth on the food in front of her and be captured like an idiot. That would help us too.
“…Unfortunately, it seems that it didn’t please everyone, so let’s close the Banquet.”
McLaren straightens his posture and faces Owen with a serious expression.
“May I ask the purpose of Prince Owen’s visit to the Magic Tower?”
“N-nothing… I was just ordered by His Majesty the King Aival to ‘go here’…”
“Is that so? My apologies.”
Satisfied with Owen’s answer, McLaren relaxes his expression and bows.
However, his eyes are not smiling.
But no matter how much they try to pry, they won’t be able to get any information from Owen.
I also confirmed it, but that guy didn’t even understand the superficial purpose of why he was ordered by King Aival to inspect the Magic Tower.
In that case.
“…Are they going to make their move tonight?”
I watched the two of them and muttered, raising the corner of my mouth slightly.
