"I don't lie."

"Then swear on your family!"

"I swear."

But she was nervous because it was too easy.

"Oh, really?"

Come to think of it, this madman could destroy his family if he needed to.

"Let's do a pinky promise!"

"Pinky promise?"

"It's making a promise by interlocking fingers."

"Your fingers?"

"No! I mean the Duke's fingers."

"My finger?"

The tongs in the peacock's hand moved and made a whistling noise. She felt as if it would take her fingers away.

"No, it'd be me who would rather bet on my family."

Luana quickly changed her posture.

So the Duke and Luana came to an agreement. He picked up Luana who was sitting on the floor, clutching his feet and then threw her over his shoulder like a sack.

"Ugh! Ugh! Eck!"

As she groaned because it was very uncomfortable to climb the stairs like this, the Duke rolled the tongs in his hands and said.

"Noisy."

"Oh, I'll be quiet. Shh!"

'But why are you still holding the tongs?' Luana was very curious, but she kept her mouth shut in fear he would use it on her.

Luana was forcibly dragged into the kitchen. The Palace Kitchen was originally used to make the meals for the king, so it was much different from the kitchen of her abandoned palace. It was much cleaner and had more tools and materials.

"But what should I make?"

'If I can't make something delicious, he wouldn't let me go. No, wait! Why do I have to even worry about this? Luana who was pulling her hair out in stress, straightened herself as she felt a gaze from behind. She had forgotten about the guards who came in with her.

'Let's just make what I want to eat now! The food is best made when you make something you want to eat!'

Luana randomly searched for the ingredients.

Hmm.. Fresh beef... And Napa cabbage. The freshness here was different from that of her abandoned  palace! First, she brewed the broth by using anchovies, mushrooms, and green onions.

The experts may put some kind of secret ingredient here, but she wasn't exactly a cook in her previous life! She was just a single woman who liked to eat alone, so she did it in her own way.

With a serious expression, Luana layered the Napa cabbage and sliced the beef. Meanwhile, the broth was boiling . The savory smell of the anchovy broth spread through the kitchen.
