Chapter 421
Which country is Charlotte’s homeland?
It’s Belvur.
Then, what country is Belvur modeled after?
It’s based on France and Belgium.
Ah, of course, that’s not to say that all French or Belgian people are obsessed with chocolate and wine.
There are Koreans who dislike kimchi, or who don’t eat spicy food, right? Granted, the standard for that might differ a little from that of foreigners.
Still, in subculture settings, characters often reflect the stereotypical traits of the nationality they’re inspired by. The reason is simple: it makes their personality easier to express and more entertaining. And as long as it doesn’t veer into outright mockery, people from those countries often like it too.
I’ve never actually been to France, nor have I had any French acquaintances, so I can’t really say how the French feel about their own cuisine, but—
“It’s delicious...”
As we ate the food Charlotte had served with such a proud expression, none of us could speak for a moment.
Although I had been back in my homeland for the past few months, the food I’d eaten for the last several years came from the Azerna Empire, whose cuisine matched the stereotypes of “British food you see floating around the internet.”
Ah, it’s not like the food was inedible. My status was that of an imperial princess, so naturally, the meals I ate were prepared to match that standard.
