For the past six years, I've had no chance to get a book from Louise, but now I've managed to hit her at what should be a crisis moment.

It seems that this was indeed a fantastic duel.

Furthermore, I feel that none of this is a coincidence, as if it were destined by fate that I would hit Louise this time.

Now that I have successfully hit Louise, today's training is basically over.

Furthermore, this is probably the first time I've managed to hit Louise without being hit myself, so I'm in a pretty good mood right now.

"Your Highness, forgive me for my doubts, but what exactly was that attack you just made? Why was it so fast and so powerful? It's not like a sword technique a child like you would use..."

At this moment, Louise quickly brought her head close to mine and asked in great confusion.

Instantly, the faint scent of her shampoo wafted into my nose, making me blush slightly.

That's right, I used to be a boy. Unfortunately, I just lost the penis, but my heart remains the same...

"Hmm, I don't know either. The only thing I remember is that this special move was called Royal Swordsmanship..."

Indeed, aside from knowing its name and the fact that it requires specific movements to execute, I have absolutely no idea how I learned it.

"Really, this technique is amazing. If I were to continue training with you, I might actually be defeated. So, I really want to learn from Your Highness."

"Haha, no way, really."

Honestly, although Louise is a martial arts fanatic and quite obsessed with becoming stronger, she's actually just like a child—curious and fond of new and exciting things.

"Actually, it's not that I can't teach you, but..."

I paused for a moment.

"But what?!?"

Louise's eyes lit up with excitement, and she seemed to exhale a breath of exhilaration...

"However, this is very rare, and it takes a very long time to learn."

"No problem, I will study hard no matter how difficult it is!"

"Ha... I really can't do anything with you guys."

I shook my head helplessly and couldn't help but say.

Ha, it should have been me learning from her, but now it's her learning swordsmanship from me... This is really the opposite of what I thought.

"Your Highness, Princess Louise, Little White is ready for dinner!"

Just then, Lilith's shouts suddenly came from afar.

"Okay, here we come."

As I said this, I immediately got up from the ground, grabbed Louise's hand and Little White's hand in the distance, and happily walked quickly toward the location where Lilith was calling us.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Dining with Family

Dinner was much earlier than usual today because Otto had been invited by the lord of the neighboring city to participate in a hunt, where he hunted two enormous wild boars.

To ensure the meat's freshness, Otto brought one back and gave it to all the soldiers of Cross Castle for a hearty meal.

Of course, the freshest ingredients at the beginning were those of us, the highest-ranking people in the royal city—that's right, the lords, lords' wives, princesses, and generals.

Then came the rest of the royal nobles, followed by the servants and soldiers.

At this moment, all of us, including Xiaobai and Lilith (whom I had called over), sat together at the noble table in the castle's dining room, a place I had never sat at before.

The main reason was that Otto and Belissa were extremely busy with their official duties, and the Demon King's army invaded frequently, so they were rarely seen dining at this noble table.

I usually eat in my room, and I can eat whatever I want, as long as it's not something particularly difficult to get, or something like wild game, they can usually get it for me.

This long table for nobles is basically where Otto entertains other nobles and important guests from the royal city, so he has never actually eaten here before.

Seriously, it's been so long since I've eaten wild boar. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

However... I have absolutely no idea when or with whom I ate wild boar meat.

Just after I had taken my seat, Lilith came over and naturally wrapped a napkin around my clothes to prevent oil stains, then sat down in a seat further back.

After we sat and waited for a short while, the head chef of Kloster City, along with several of his men, pushed in the huge, fully roasted wild boar in a large food cart.

The aroma filled the air instantly, making my mouth water.

Ah, I really want to eat this.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai, who was sitting next to me, had already drooled all over his napkin.

Indeed, as a werewolf, meat is something she particularly loves.

Besides, it's roasted whole; even a person would find it quite appetizing.

Actually, there are still some etiquette rules for eating together, so the whole dining scene is quite quiet. Basically, apart from the slight sounds of moving the plates and utensils while eating, there is nothing else.

So Otto and Belissa remained mostly silent throughout, waiting for the chefs to bring the huge, fragrant, and sizzling wild boar to us.

Of course, I was definitely the first person to taste this delicious wild boar meat.

Because, how should I put it, I am both of their precious daughters, and the one they have always loved the most.

So the chefs pushed the cart in front of Otto, who waved his arm without even looking at it. The chefs nodded instinctively and walked towards me.

Then he made a gesture to me, yes, it was the familiar one finger, two fingers, three fingers, four fingers, five fingers.

It feels so familiar... Just as I was about to raise my four fingers, a sudden gust of wind swept in.

"Ivy, are you a pig? How could you eat wild boar meat from Silig..."

Suddenly, I heard the voice of a very cute, yet very arrogant girl.

"..."

This made me immediately retract the four fingers I was about to extend.

"Actually, if one lig is not enough, you can extend half a finger, and that will be 1.5 lig."

Suddenly, another different, somewhat cold female voice reached my ears.

I don't know why, but this feeling makes me feel particularly nostalgic.

Then, without saying a word, I held up two and a half fingers.

When the head chef saw my fingers, he didn't show any surprise or doubt on his face. He quickly nodded and cut a piece of meat from the back of the wild boar's neck and a piece from its belly onto a plate and placed them in front of me.

The whole process was very quick and smooth; truly, this is worthy of our chefs at Cross City.

Then, in the order of Otto, Belissa, Louise, Little White, and finally Lilith, they each cut off the most delicious parts of the wild boar.

After the meat was cut up, the head chef left with the other castle chefs and distributed the wild boar meat to the surrounding nobles.

Seriously, this wild boar meat is incredibly fragrant. Every bite is bursting with flavorful oil! Wow! It can only be described with one word: amazing!

At this moment, my mouth is filled with the fiery heat and a sense of happiness. The meat, already fragrant from being cooked over charcoal, becomes even more flavorful with the addition of salt, pepper, and chili powder. It is tender, crispy, and savory, instantly making me forget all my unpleasantness.

Seriously, is there any happiness in this world more than eating meat to your heart's content?

However, at that moment, for some reason, my heart started to feel a little sore.

Tears welled up in her eyes and soon dripped directly onto the juicy roasted wild boar meat.

"Oh dear, my darling daughter, why are you crying? Is something hurting you again?"

Upon seeing this, Belissa disregarded etiquette and asked directly.

"nothing……"

As I spoke, I grabbed a towel from the side and started wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Are you really alright? Did you hurt yourself somewhere else? Is it still sore?"

At this moment, Otto seemed to sense that something was wrong and quickly got up from his seat to ask.

At this moment, Louise and Lilith also stood up from their seats and rushed to me, gently supporting my shoulders.

Seeing how much they cared for me, I finally couldn't hold back my tears and they streamed down my face.

"No...no, it's just that I'm a little...touched."

At that moment, my heart ached, and I began to sob.

No matter how much she wiped away the tears, they flowed uncontrollably, like a never-ending stream.

Soon, tears blurred my vision, and I could no longer see anything around me.

That's right, the moment I ate the wild boar meat, my memories began to slowly return as if they were being revived.

Furthermore, I also know that what is happening now is exactly what I have always dreamed of doing.

Unfortunately, I can never go back to the past.

And so this scene before my eyes became an irreparable regret in my life.
