Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

In the wooden house, Sona and Jib were standing by the window. They had been watching for a long time.

Gib smiled and said to Sona: "This is the first time I've seen Sal make something that looks edible."

Sona also laughed after hearing this. Saranta was not particular about food. When she was a child, she had seen Saranta eat half of a small monster whose throat had just been cut.

But that time, she was frightened to tears by Saranta’s bloody face, and Saranta never ate raw food in front of her again. However, even if it was cooked food, if it was not prepared by others, the food Saranta made by himself would be half-cooked or burnt and hard.

Adan said that after Saranta was abducted from the snowfield when he was four years old, he lived a life of hunger for a long time, so what to eat and how to eat were no longer things he would consider. As long as there was food, he would put it in his mouth and swallow it.

He eats just to keep himself alive.

No one knew what kind of life Saranta lived before he was found by Adan from outside the snowfield, but everyone said that he must have suffered a lot.

The abducted Paraso people will not be treated well anywhere outside the snowfield. This is a cruel fact known to all Paraso people.

Saranta is 29 years old this year. Adan found Saranta in a zoo. Saranta was already 16 years old at that time.

A'dan did not talk about the details of what happened that year. Sona only remembered the tears in A'dan's eyes and the blue veins on the back of his hands when he talked about it.

The Parasau people of the Far North will not forget the hatred and dead tribesmen, they just don't like killing and war.

What Xie Wei thought was lunch was actually an early dinner for others. It took about an hour to prepare the meal, which was much faster than Xie Wei expected.

He was a little surprised at Sal's skill in cooking, and thought that Sal really had a talent for cooking. Just by watching him cook a few times, he could cook so well.

As for the chef Jeffrey, who was far away in the castle, he had a much more relaxed time during the two days when the lord was away.

Since the day of the dinner, the lord often went into the kitchen to cook meals. Some meals were successful in one go, while others had to be cooked over and over again. The lord would order the successful meals to be delivered to His Highness Shiavi's table, and the failed ones would be eaten by the lord himself. Occasionally, if he failed too many times, he would share the meals with them.

Thinking of this, Jeffrey sighed. He felt that after eating too many failed meals made by the lord, he was about to lose his desire for food.

Xie Wei didn't know what Sal's failed product tasted like. He was tasting the sweet and sour pork made by Sal, which tasted very good.

Xie Wei and his two children both liked the sweet and sour pork dish very much. Sal and Gib only took a few bites and then left. They liked the spicy diced chicken more. Out of the four chickens, two and a half went into Gib and Sal's stomachs.

Because the rice was taken from Shevi's carriage, there was not much, so each person only had a bowl of stewed rice. Shevi could see that Sal liked the stewed rice with mushrooms and diced chicken very much, so he silently thought about making more for Sal after returning to the castle.

Four hearty dishes plus stewed rice and pork rib soup. In Xie Wei's opinion, the food they had for dinner was already very much. In the Empire, this amount was enough to feed ten adult men.

But in fact, except for him, the four Parasos present were not fully fed.

Because Sommer and Sona are twins, they were not as strong as other children when they were born. Even now at the age of thirteen, they are still not as strong and tall as their peers. But even so, they have a huge appetite.

The Far North Territory is extremely cold in winter, and the body needs enough calories to resist the cold, so the average food intake of the Paraso people is two to three times larger than that of people outside the snowfield.

In the end, the stewed rice and dishes were all eaten, and only half of the milk-flavored red bean porridge that Sona had kept warm in the fireplace was left.

Sona took a few bites of her risotto and gave it to Sommer. She preferred the sweet porridge with a rich milky aroma that Xiaviaanta made for her.

After taking a sip, the taste of river rice, honey beans, honey and milk blended together was so delicious that she was reluctant to swallow it.

After drinking a bowl of hot sweet porridge, Sona felt that the pain in her abdomen, which had been aching all the time, was not as severe anymore.

Sona drank two big bowls of porridge, but no one else drank. Sommer wanted to drink a little, but there was not much porridge, and he wanted his sister to drink more.

They have no rice, and Saranta and Shiavianta will return to the castle tomorrow. They don’t know when they will be able to drink this soup called Milky Red Bean Porridge again.

In the Far North, rice is very precious and rare, and the staple food of the Parasau people is meat, bread and dry flatbread, so there is no such food as porridge on the Parasau people's table. They call all foods cooked in a pot with water soup.

After the meal, Sommer took the two monsters out to play. The monster with silver-white fur that Thrall's monster Puka liked to stick to was called Grey. Grey was a female monster and was Gib's contracted monster.

When Puka was brought out of the Misty Forest by Thrall, he was still a baby. He was very lively and disobedient, so Thrall often threw him to Grey to take care of.

Since Grey had no cubs, she took care of Puka as her cub, so much so that Puka still regards Grey as its mother.

If she had a one-sided quarrel with Thrall, or got beaten by Thrall for making trouble, she would run from the castle to the cabin to complain and act like a spoiled child to Grey.

The monsters and their contracted partners can understand each other's thoughts without language, and the monsters communicate with each other through vocalizations of different frequencies.

In the entire Lar continent, apart from the ancient gods, only the elves and the long-lost dragons can communicate with monsters without a contract. They are born with the ability to communicate with all monsters.

Xie Wei and Sona sat by the fireplace, drinking soup made from herbs as Sal stared at them.

The herbs were picked by Sal outside the valley in the morning. These herbs grow beside the hot springs in the cave and are effective in treating stomachaches.

Last night, Xie Wei kept complaining about having a stomachache, so Sal got up early to pick some. He originally wanted to cook it after breakfast and feed it to Little Rose, but she didn't get to drink it until the afternoon.

When I was cooking the medicinal soup, I saw Sona and remembered that Sona could also drink it, so I cooked more.

Sal was originally having a headache about how to coax Little Rose to drink the medicine soup with an indescribable taste, but because Sona drank it with her, feeding the medicine went very smoothly this time.

Although she was still reluctant, Little Rose drank the medicine obediently.

Unlike when he had just left the empire, he was clearly unconscious and would spit out the potion fed into his mouth. He couldn't swallow anything except water. During those few days, it can be said that Thrall almost used up all his patience in his life just to feed Shevi the medicine.

He vomited after being fed, and then vomited and was fed again. Finally, it was Sal who drank it. He pried open Shevi's lips and teeth and forced some into his mouth.

If not, without food and only able to drink water, Xie Wei's body would not be able to recover on its own.

As Xie Wei finished the last sip of the medicine, Sal stuffed a candy into his mouth, and Sal also handed one to Sona.

Sona was a little flattered after taking it.

Saranta couldn't be said to be close to her and Sommer. Although he took good care of them, such closeness had never been shown to them before.

Gib, who was sitting nearby, also saw it. He looked at Sal and Shevi with a smile. After a while, he cast his gaze toward the gradually darkening sky outside the window and reminded Sal.

"Sal, it's almost time, take Shiavi with you."

After hearing what Gibb said, Xie Wei looked at Sal with some confusion and asked, "Where are we going?"

Aren’t we going back to the castle tomorrow?

"Take you somewhere," replied Thrall.

Then he stood up and took the fur cloak that Xie Wei had hung on the rack, tied the cloak around Xie Wei, put a scarf and a hood around him, and only after wrapping him up tightly did he pick him up and walk out.

By the fence of the wooden house, Thrall's guards were waiting with their horses.
