Chapter 26: Building the wall Part 4
The lady sat on his bed, her eyes snapped to Aric as soon as he walked in. It was evident that she was still scared. Aric walked to her carefully and placed the cup of noodles near her and the dress beside her.
"You don't have to worry, everything that I got for you is completely safe," he assured her. She stared at the cup of noodles, the beautiful smell wafting into her nose.
She hadn't eaten in days, so there was no way she could resist, even though she had never laid eyes on this sort of food before.
But she had used a fork before, and she could imagine how this would work. She fetched the noodles with her fork and took them to her mouth, eating without a moment of hesitation.
She didn't even flinch at the heat, which showed Aric just how hungry she was. Immediately after tasting the first bite, she started rushing through it as fast as she could, not pausing for even a second.
In a few minutes, the cup was empty. She placed it on the ground and stared at Aric.
"I'll get you more later, but before that, you need to rest, and I also have some questions," Aric said. The mention of getting her more noodles excited her, but she didn't show it.
"So what's your name?" he asked. She stared at him for a while before speaking.
"My name is Elisa Astrid. I am from the family of a fallen Baron Astrid, in the kingdom of Aragon," she said, giving Aric a little more detail than he had asked for.
But what she said intrigued him, so he decided to ask more. "What do you mean by fallen Baron? Does it mean your family somehow lost everything and lost its nobility as well?" Aric asked.
