Book 5: Chapter 185: Taking the Bait
The trap was set, and all that remained was to wait.
To stave off boredom, Lilith started a campfire and roasted her own stash of beef for a snack while waiting patiently.
The meat had been frozen for so long because Lilith had grown tired of eating it. If she could catch a rabbit in this place, she wouldn’t have been forced to dip into her reserve food.
Erica, on the other hand, relished the meal. “Delicious! I’ve never tasted anything like this meat before. And this barbecue sauce, where did you find it? It smells amazing!”
Erica eagerly devoured the skewered meat, eating as if she were a hungry ghost who just found food, unconcerned about manners. Her lips and cheeks glistened with grease.
“Eat as much as you want,” Lilith offered as she tossed more wood onto the fire.
“Can I really have such high-quality meat to my heart’s content?” Erica was almost moved to tears. “You won’t ask me to pay up after I’m done, right?” she asked cautiously.
“Eat up. This meat isn’t worth much. Ten gold coins could buy a whole cow.” Lilith waved dismissively.
“Ten gold coins…?!” Erica nearly choked. It was her family’s living expenses for a year.
