Chapter 391. Side Story 2. A Mad Dog Lives In the Imperial Palace (2)
Rumor had spread throughout the palace that the uncle and nephew had been buried alive in the garden together. And the very next day, Caron casually took Halo outside the Imperial Palace.
Leon would never have permitted the two troublemakers to go out alone—but fortunately, they had a guardian.
"...So when you asked if we could hang out, you meant with Halo?" Seria, the Grand Saintess of the Holy Kingdom, let out a long sigh as she looked down at Halo.
"Halo said he wanted to explore the capital," Caron said. "And as his uncle, how could I refuse? Anyway—Seria, that thing you're eating looks good. What is it?"
"Lamb skewers grilled with spices from the Sultanate," Seria answered.
"Do you have ours as well?" Caron asked.
"I bought some for you both already," Seria replied, then handed over the neatly wrapped skewers. Caron and Halo bit into them at the same time, satisfied grins spreading across their faces.
As Seria had said, they were delicious—rich and savory, with just the right amount of heat and salt.
"This is great," Halo said, genuinely impressed.
"There are plenty of foods in the palace that taste better than this," Caron remarked.
"They've all gotten bland lately," Halo said.
"That's for your health. Kids who eat too much spicy food grow up with messed-up personalities," Caron said.
