Chapter 349 Teaching Her How To Eat & Magic Chef.

The onlookers could see that Roy really valued her as he was extremely patient with her. He used the spoon to scoop the soup, cooled it down by blowing on it and fed it to her. At the same time, he explained what it was and told her how to eat it. As it was mostly liquid with a bit of corn in it, she didn't need to chew a lot.

"Hubby, it's too good." She really liked the taste of the corn in the soup and muttered to Roy sweetly after grabbing his arm, "Each time I pop them with my teeth, a tasty juice fills my mouth. Feed me more."

"I am more than happy to."

Their relationship was deeper than strangers suddenly becoming husband and wife. She was his fated and hadn't approached him with ill intent. Not to mention, she was obedient to him. As a man, he could ask for nothing more than a gentle and caring wife who not only loved him but also respected him. He could see it in the way she behaved.

"Is this to your liking?"

One by one, Roy helped her try all the dishes. She was like a child that couldn't help but depend on her guardian. When Roy married her, he became her man. At the same time, he became responsible for her. It was his duty to guide her and help her when the situation demanded.

"I guess it's alright." She gave him a reply after throughly chewing and then swallowing what he had put in her mouth, "But I still prefer the soup over this."

The corn soup turned out to be her favorite.

While feeding his wife, Roy taught her how to use different utensils and told her that he wouldn't mind if she were to use her hands to eat.

'She is too well-behaved.'

All sorts of scrumptious and delicious-looking dishes, such as steak, meatballs and sauce, bbq, white rice, and so on, filled the table, which was like a work of art. But the maid looked hesitant about eating them.

All of his attention was focused on her.

So how could he worry about them?

The three maids hadn't even started eating.

'So many good things are placed in front of us. It's really hard to endure.'

They licked their rosy lips while looking at the meal like hungry tigresses, but they didn't pounce on it. They were silently waiting for their masters to finish their meal to eat any leftovers.

One of the nobles saw through them with just a glance.

"I have a proposition to make. Let us forget about our status just for tonight and enjoy a meal together." It was Damien who just spoke to them. "There is a little for everyone on this table. So I bet you won't be disappointed by this."

"My mouth has watered at just the sight of them," Roy said to his maids and servant in a gentle and welcoming tone. He had been focused on feeding his wife, so he had no time to try them out himself. But by just their smell, he could tell that they were excellent. "Don't miss it; otherwise, you will be losing big time."

It was a common rule that servants didn't deserve to eat at the same table as their masters, but neither Damien nor Roy had any intention of enforcing this rule on their maids.

The former believed in the saying that all men were born equal, although he knew how hypocritical it sounded, while the latter was from modern earth where slavery was long abolished.

He didn't want his people to follow stupid rules, and he didn't want to limit them so that they won't feel constrained.

Julian also gestured for them to enjoy the meal. He was used to others looking down on him. He knew how bad that felt. Thus, He didn't want others to feel the same way.

The atmosphere was harmonious. No one was looking down on others. People from different walks of life and diverse statuses were sitting together and enjoying the scrumptious meal.

Roy was familiar with some of the dishes, but when he ate his favorite one, he couldn't even guess the ingredients it was made of.

『You have consumed a rank-3 minced meat spaghetti.』

It was completely different from the one found on Earth. Its texture was softer than rice, and it melted in his mouth like chocolate on a hot stove. It didn't burn his tongue; it only exploded his senses with various flavors and warmed his inside. The bits of meat filled him with energy, and the red sauce was juicy, acidic, and spicy, tingling his tongue, almost setting it on fire.

『Your body has digested it and transformed it into energy.』

As he was a soul herder, everything he ate was automatically and instantly refined into energy, leaving behind no waste. It also meant that, unlike humans, he didn't need to go to the bathroom.

『You have gained 600 units of energy』

"Wow! I didn't think even the most plain-looking dish would be as beneficial as a magic herb to soul herders." Roy exclaimed in joy.

"Shocked?" Damien smirked at him.

A smile hung at the corner of his lips as Roy replied to his cousin, "Somewhat."

As he had read the book, he already knew that there was a profession called Magic Chef in this world. Officially, only the awakened could come in contact with this profession.

Magic chefs cooked using rare materials that normies couldn't handle and were poisonous to humans.

But out of these poisonous materials, they were able to create edible dishes that were extremely beneficial to awaken and normies alike.

"My maid is aspiring to be a magic chef. She is young and talented. She still hasn't awakened, but she can purify the meat of the aura beast and use it in her cooking. What you see in front of you is anything but normal. These dishes can increase your strength and fill your cells with energy." Damien praised Sandra. He had picked her from a war-torn land when he was 17.
