Chapter 694 694 Foodies

The Representatives left as the rest of the group returned to the table carrying plates loaded with the widest variety of food options possible.

"You know that it's a buffet, you can go back up and get more." Wolfe laughed.

"But how will I know what to get more of if I haven't tried everything on the buffet? They have so much stuff that it's impossible to know." Nimue explained.

"You have a point. But once you taste what you've got, I'm certain that the task will only get harder. Their cooking skills are incredible to begin with, and they enhance them with magical plants and spices, as well as a touch of Fae Magic for some dishes."

"Like this coconut rice. It smells like Fae Magic." The little Dryad hybrid guessed.

"There is a guardian coconut Treant not far from here, so the gardens are still within their range of effects. Everything with coconut will have a bit of Fae magic in it at the very least."

The witches smiled at the memory of the little Treant being forcibly dragged out of the garden by her elders after they split up the territory assignments when the forest was created. She had grown quite a bit since then, and could be counted among the more powerful residents of the forest thanks to the Guardian Trees spell that had created her.

Nimue took out a second plate and began cutting a small piece of everything off and lining them up in a circle. Then she transferred the small containers of jams, syrups and sauces to the middle of the plate and began eating everything in order.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The other Demons did their best not to laugh at her methodical process for determining what the best combination of flavours was, and simple gorged themselves. Even Carmine, who was not from the Wrath Demon faction, was a voracious eater, which left only the two succubi to eat at a more normal pace.

"He's not a good person?" Cassie asked.

"He's an irresponsible brat. I'll admit he's more powerful, despite being a year younger, but he's not even fifty yet, still in his wild and rebellious phase."

"But look who got to be a personal bodyguard, and who is still at home." Wolfe teased.

Risa laughed. "He was so choked about that. I thought he was going to smash the whole training ground before he got it out of his system, and I'll bet there is still lava in the yard. But he's the oldest son, and set to take over the family businesses, so he couldn't leave if he wanted to."

Cassie looked annoyed at that comment.

"Female Wrathbringers can't inherit?" She asked.

"We can, but it was assumed that with my power, and the fact that I'm so short, that I would likely be picked by one of the other species as a bodyguard, or married into another noble family. That would mean I would be away from home or ineligible to inherit. Well, I could inherit from my husband's family, or I could take a cute boy and marry him into my family, but my father frowned on that. He doesn't like weak men, and he doesn't care how cute they are."

Cassie laughed. "I see how it is. The black sheep of the family. Proverbially speaking. But it looks like you've attained a fairly well-respected place for yourself, since Wolfe has so many Demon Princesses linked to him."

"By Demon Standards, he is a form of Royalty as the head of a Magi Family. So, it's a lot like becoming the personal bodyguard of a Prince. Very high ranking, coming from a low noble family of bodyguards like mine."

The chatter continued happily as everyone emptied their plates, then went for more. It was a good thing this was a festival day, and not one with a lot to do because they were all going to be in a food coma later.
