GB: Bai Yueguang is a villain again.

After Veronica sat down, Askan clapped his hands.

The palace servants had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When they heard his call, they walked in in an orderly manner and placed exquisite dishes on the table.

Askan smiled and introduced Su Mo: "This dish is the specialty of our palace chef. You can't eat it outside. Goddess, please try it."

He was referring to the stew that looked very colorful.

I don't know what it's called, but it looks really good.

Quite tempting.

Su Mo nodded: "Thank you, Prince."

The woman scooped out a little soup with a silver spoon and tasted it briefly.

There is a very obvious taste of pepper in the mouth, which is not pungent, but adds a layer of flavor to the stew.

The aftertaste is slightly sour, probably because of the addition of tomatoes. After tasting carefully, you can find that the soup also has a peculiar and dense texture.

Su Mo's eyes widened slightly, and he picked up the napkin and gently touched the corner of his mouth.

Then he smiled and said to Askan, "The dishes recommended by the eldest prince are indeed delicious."

“As long as you like it, this dish was originally designed for ladies.

Not only will the appearance be very popular with everyone, but it will also be more elegant to use.”

He cut off a piece of meat with a knife and fork and gestured to Su Mo: "However, on weekdays, I still prefer meat."

"Yeah……"

Su Mo lowered his eyes and looked at the tempting roasted lamb chops on the plate in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up.

"This dish was designed so carefully."

Her tone was light, without much genuine flattery in it.

Veronica was originally cutting meat quietly on the side, but she frowned when she heard the eldest prince's words.

"Your Majesty, what you said is a bit inappropriate." She gently put down her knife and fork, and the moment the silverware touched the table, a crisp sound was made.

Those brown eyes were full of disapproval.

"From what my royal brother said, is meat exclusive to men, and women can only taste stews?"

Her sudden attack surprised both people at the table.

Su Mo simply turned his curious gaze towards this bold girl.

She was thin and looked like she had been malnourished for a long time.

If she had not revealed her identity when she first stood at the door, Su Mo would have thought that she was an unpopular young lady from some family.

Although her clothes don't show any signs of being criticized at the moment, her physical condition doesn't lie.

Her real age must not be as young as she looks now.

This can only happen due to long-term malnutrition.

However, although I cannot determine what she had experienced before, it can be seen that as a princess, she must not have had a very good life.

Like an abandoned and precious stray cat.

Arrogant, but has lost its sharp claws.

But from her words, Su Mo could still feel that there was still a strength in her blood, supporting her to survive in this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

Also, Veronica's hair also had a red tint, but it wasn't as pure as Askhan's.

But who says orange can't be considered red?

She was indeed one of the owners of this palace.

I had heard rumors in the palace some years ago.

There were only two women in the king's harem.

One is the mother of the eldest prince Askan and the youngest prince Lucio, the Queen of Fortinon.

She is gentle, beautiful and wise.

She even possesses extremely high magical talent and was once one of the candidates for the temple's saint.

But she quickly weakened and died after giving birth to Lucio.

Some say that it was Lucio, who was still a baby at the time, who absorbed all of his mother's power, which led to the queen's death.

Some people also said that the queen had contracted the disease during childbirth.

There are many different opinions about this matter.

There were even rumors that the First Lady and the King conspired to murder the Queen.

When Su Mo was helping to raise Lucio, he heard a lot of similar words.

At that time, I just thought it was nonsense. It was completely unsympathetic for such a young child to hear it.

After those who talked nonsense were taught a lesson, no more rumors were spread.

But it still left a deep shadow on Lucio, which was one of the reasons why he did not dare to return to the palace.

Speaking of the first lady, she actually died of depression not long after the incident was made public.

In fact, people have not seen the First Lady's appearance very often, they only know that she is also a very beautiful woman.

At a banquet, she fell in love with the king at first sight.

The king quickly took her into his harem.

Shortly after the birth of the eldest prince, the first lady also became pregnant and eventually gave birth to a son.

But because she is too secretive, no one knows the gender of the child.

Moreover, everyone believed that the throne would eventually be inherited by the eldest prince, and no one paid much attention to this child.

Moreover, even if the king killed his two women, the people did not care much about it.

After all, those are the secrets of the palace. It’s okay to talk about them in private, but if they are brought to the king’s attention, you will lose your head.

What's more, those are the king's private affairs.

These big shots are really too far away from me. Instead of worrying about whether those rumors are true or not, I might as well think about how to fill my own stomach.

So Su Mo only found out today that the first lady's child was actually a princess.

From Veronica's appearance, one can vaguely feel what her mother looks like.

She must be a bright and beautiful lady.

The girl was still sitting upright on the chair, her hands crossed and resting on the hem of her skirt.

She looked straight at Askan with a firm look in her eyes.

But Su Mo secretly saw out of the corner of his eye that the girl's hands were secretly clutching the complicated hem of her skirt.

She was nervous and scared.

Although Askan did not get furious because of her defiance, his expression turned completely cold.

"Veronica." There was a hint of impending danger in his voice.

"Did I teach you that?"

Su Mo felt the girl next to him shudder slightly. Although the movement was small, it did last for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Askan said, "There is no family dinner today. It was the guest's intention to let you sit at the table. I didn't expect you to be so rude and disturb the guest's mood.

Now, go back and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to come out without my permission.

I won’t have anyone bring you food until you realize your problem.”

Originally, Su Mo just wanted to listen and didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the siblings.

But Askan's behavior really touched his own minefield.
