Bryan requested to see Lucas as soon as he came off the ship as there wasn’t a lot of time left for Sakura City. He wanted to talk as soon as he saw Lucas, but he closed his mouth when he saw that there were other people at the dining table.

Bryan was surprised when he saw Mina and Annie. He didn’t understand why Lucas, a noble, would let two beastkins eat at the same table with him. 'I know they look beautiful, have better clothes than me, and have good table manners, but they shouldn’t be qualified to eat at the same table as a noble.' He thought.

“Sir Bryan, let’s eat first.” Lucas knew what Bryan was thinking. The nobles in this era completely despised beastkins, even the talented or beautiful ones. They think that beastkins are inferior to the commoners.

Mina and Annie didn’t care about the contempt in Bryan’s eyes and were only concerned with devouring the food in front of them. For the two of them, the opinions of other nobles were completely unimportant. They only cared about Lucas. They didn’t want to make Lucas lose face, so they had to maintain the basic table manners when there were other people around.

“Thanks… I…” Bryan wanted to refuse, but when he smelled the fragrance of the rice, he obediently went to the dinner table and sat down on a chair. He tried to use the wooden chopsticks by copying Lucas, but he was so bad at it and was even worse than children. Bryan’s face was red with shame as he knew that he was worse at it than Mina and Annie who were beastkins.

'Are these two wooden sticks the nobles’ newest way of eating?' Deciding to not think about it anymore, Bryan picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

There was a lot of food that Bryan had never even seen and heard of, like braised pork, sweet and sour ribs, and twice-cooked pork.

'What? There are beastkins eating at the same table? Who cares? If I can eat these kinds of cuisines every day, I’m willing to stand up while eating and let them sit down instead.'

Bryan looked worse compared to the time he had eaten pastries, and when he was full, he saw Lucas, Mina, Annie, and Nicole look at him with dumbfounded expressions.

“Cough cough… Baron Lucas’s meal is very delicious.” Bryan said, wiping his mouth with the napkin. Upon seeing the marks on the napkins, he was ashamed. 'There were so many bits of food on my face? Oh my god, this is so humiliating. I can’t believe I was worse than the lowly beastkins.'

Mina and Annie curled their lips and looked at Bryan in disdain. 'There’s no need for us to treat him highly. This noble is a joke, just like many other nobles.' They thought at the same time.

“Sir Bryan, it's really unexpected that you can come back so early. What happened?” Lucas asked bluntly. 'I can’t believe this guy is a noble. His table manners are so bad that he reminds me of pigs.'

The plates were then taken away and they were all handed a serving of a multi layered cake.

“Gulp…”

Bryan swallowed and tried to move his eyes away from the cake. He stuttered, “You- you see, I- I just wanted to get the hides early- wait, no, no, I just, just wanted to bring over Baron Lucas’s cattle, horses, and sheep early.” Under the allure of food, Bryan told Lucas his real thoughts. After speaking, Bryan picked up half of the cake with his spoon and put all of it into his mouth.

Bryan ate up the whole cake in just two bites. He even went ahead and licked the plate when he finished. This scene made Lucas’s mouth twitch, and he looked at Nicole.

Nicole nodded, signaling that she understood and that she would throw the plate away. She decided to throw away everything that Bryan had used.

After finishing, Bryan looked up and saw that Lucas and the others were looking at him with a dumbfounded expression again. He then saw that they had only eaten a little of their cake.

“Gulp…”

Bryan swallowed. The sound was as clear as day, demolishing their appetite.

“Sir Bryan, I will trade with you tomorrow. I have prepared a lot of hides, and you will be able to buy a lot of them tomorrow.” Lucas said, handing a small spoon to Nicole.

“O- Okay,” Bryan said, standing up in a hurry. His fat body accidentally touched the plate and it fell to the ground.

"Bang."

Bryan’s face was red with shame. He was ashamed that he had broken Lucas’s property after being invited to eat in his house.

“It’s okay. Sir Bryan must be tired. Uncle Ben, see him away.” Lucas said with a light smile.

Bryan followed Ben out of the castle with a half-dazed expression.

“What kind of food have I, Bryan, not eaten in my life? I even ate many delicious cuisines from the capital. How could I be so disgraceful today? What the heck is wrong with me? This happened twice already. Could I, Bryan, actually be a country bumpkin? No, it’s because Baron Lucas’s food is too delicious. Only the food that his family makes can make me lose my mind. But that shouldn’t have happened though. I’m someone that has eaten cuisine from the capital. It’s like the food was magical. Once you start eating it, it makes you eat it like a dog, and you can’t stop. But why is it that I still want to eat it? Fuck I want more.”

Bryan repeated these words over and over again, and that was all that Bryan’s guards heard as they walked.
