Chapter 340: The Royal Decree?
Their date continued till the end of the night. The sun rose from the horizon as Esdeath had killed most of the Danger Beasts she had gathered for the occasion trying to learn Adam's moves. Although the progress has been next to none, she still felt satisfied enough to show a blooming smile. The reason was the thing they were doing right now atop a flat mountain.
"This is really delicious for salted meat!" Esdeath chopped down on the slice of grilled meat, and a burst of juices and flavors danced on her tongue. "I demand more!"
"There is enough, so eat slowly." Adam sighed roasting some Boar-like danger beast they found.
With his skills and a bit of preparation magic, he could cook anything into a top-class meal. But, he stuck to grilling the meat with some gravy on the side to stick with the hunting theme. There wasn't much he needed to make this time because Esdeath seemed enthralled with simple grilled meat more. It really gave this the whole camping-together vibe that she adored.
Though they had nothing to do but kill some harmless and clueless Danger Beasts who didn't even know why they were subjected to it. Regardless soon Esdeath ate the boar that looked large enough to feed 50 grown men. Maybe because she liked it too much? Or it was Adam's fault again? He wasn't sure.
"That was the meal I have had in my life." Esdeath's smile showed she wasn't lying. There wasn't any other day where she had felt so invested in eating before.
Normally she wouldn't even spare the food a second glance, didn't matter if it was the finest cuisine or army rations both looked the same to her. But, Esdeath liked the food so much that she wanted to have it every day.
Though the grilled meat and vegetables brought by Adam were quickly gone the two got back to their usual activities. That was hunting Danger Beasts in other regions.
With the new thrill added to the enjoyment of learning and eating tasty meat Esdeath didn't want to stop. So, their activities continued for four more days till they finally returned to the Capital... through the front gate this time.

"H-Hey isn't that...?"
