The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

And so, we chatted as we walked through the long, smelly corridors of the royal castle.

Seriously, who designed this castle? It's so long! (〃＞皿＜)！

About ten minutes later, I arrived at a small, ornately decorated restaurant and pulled out a chair to sit down.

It's true, even the restaurant is opulent, and even the tableware on the tables must be made of gold and silver.

Not to mention the golden chandelier overhead, the golden ornaments around it, and even the oil lamps and decorative candle holders, all of which must be made of gold.

Sigh, I really envy these royals... how come they're all so rich?

"Hehehe, Ivy, look forward to lunch today. My uncle hunted a huge wild boar yesterday, and the royal chef is cooking it now. We'll be able to eat it in a little while."

"What... a wild boar?!"

Instantly, a stream of acid began to slowly flow from my mouth.

From childhood, I've heard that wild boar meat is incredibly delicious. In my world, wild boars are protected animals. In this world, hunting in the wild without the permission of the king or lord is equivalent to poaching, so venison and wild boar meat are extremely rare.

Wild boars, in particular, are almost always punishable by death if killed by ordinary people.

Therefore, just thinking about this exquisite delicacy makes my mouth water.

"Wow, it's huge! I was shocked when I saw it. I really want to try it."

"Me too."

But honestly, if I could ever have a wild boar feast in my lifetime, it would be such a wonderful thing, because things are valued for their rarity. If possible, I'd like to pack some up and share some with Lila and the others.

Because I actually do love my harem quite a bit.

Not long after, Elena and a noblewoman dressed in red entered the small restaurant together.

Elena must have been very surprised to see me sitting next to Roy, but because she was wearing those lock-on glasses, her appearance and inner feelings were completely hidden.

"Ivy...do you know Roy?"

At this moment, Elena slowly walked up to me, frowned slightly, and asked.

“Three years ago, Ivy saved my life, and that’s when I realized that there are such good people in this world. So, I’m determined to make a change no matter what.”

At this moment, a bright smile appeared on Luo Yi's face.

Ah, she really is a very cute girl.

"No wonder, when I saw Luo Yi later, she said she wanted to change herself and stop being the child who was always so difficult. It turns out it was because of you, Ivy. You are really amazing."

I never imagined that Luo Yi now would have such a big relationship with her back then. Could it be that I really did unintentionally change someone's life?

Choco, haha, it's definitely a coincidence.

"By the way, who is that prince?"

At that moment, I quickly asked Elena and Roy about the girl in the red aristocratic dress. She seemed to be a little older than the rest of us.

"Oh, that's our eldest sister, Katanina, the first princess of the Kingdom of Allen. However, she rarely speaks and is not good at communicating with people, so she is easily ignored."

At this moment, Luo Yi directly interrupted Elena, who was about to speak, and then earnestly told us about her.

"That's it, that's it."

I never expected that this person would be the First Princess of the Kingdom of Allen. If I were to be disrespectful, wouldn't that be too unbecoming of a noble? So, without saying a word, I stood up.

"Greetings, Your Highness Princess Katanina."

As I spoke, I grasped the hem of my skirt with both hands and then performed a very standard aristocratic gesture.

"Hmm... Good day."

She glanced at me, then immediately looked away from me and kept staring at the table.

"Ah... Ivy, don't mind her. That's just how Katanina is. She doesn't know how to express her feelings... If she was rude, we'll apologize to you."

"Yes, Katanina was very timid and fearful when she was little...that's why she has such a personality."

Elena suddenly chimed in for some reason, it seems Princess Katanina really is... quite eccentric.

"By the way, why are there only three of you? Where is your second sister...?"

After I asked that question, the entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone stood there stunned, looking embarrassed...

Chapter 87 I almost choked to death on all that food...

Uh...did I ask something I shouldn't have...?

Could it be that the second princess of the Kingdom of Allen has already passed away...?

Otherwise, why would this scene be so silent, making me feel a suffocating desolation?

"That one..."

As she spoke, Luo Yi leaned her head close to my ear, as if she wanted to whisper something to me.

"Ok?"

"Never mention Second Sister in front of Eldest Sister. Look at her personality, it's all because of Second Sister. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become so closed off and turned out like this."

"Oh……"

So that's how it is. It seems that among the four princesses of the Kingdom of Allen, there are some who don't get along with others. It's safe to say that Princess Katanina was bullied to this extent, which shows how close they are as "good sisters".

"Dinner is served, Your Highnesses."

As he spoke, an old butler dressed in a butler's uniform shook a small silver bell.

In an instant, a huge, roasted wild boar was pushed in on a giant cart.

Ah, really, it looks crispy and delicious, and it smells so tempting that my mouth is practically watering.

"Why was such a large wild boar sent to us first?"

This makes me even stranger, because I really don't understand the internal structure of this royal city. If I could, I would love to learn more about it.

"Since our father has no son, the future king, or queen, will be chosen from among us four princesses. Basically, we will be the most honorable people in the Kingdom of Allen besides the king. However, our only advantage is that we don't have to participate in politics; we just need to study hard."

Elena remained expressionless and told me the whole truth.

So this Kingdom of Allen has such a system? I've read so many books about otherworldly kingdoms before, but I've never seen such a rule.

"In other words... I am now having dinner with the greatest person in the Kingdom of Allen, except for the King."

Instantly, I swallowed back the drool that was about to spill out. I really felt that my skin was incredibly thick.

"Well, Ivy, you don't need to worry about it. You're Roy's friend and Elena's private tutor, so your relationship is pretty much the same as ours. Alright, alright, let's eat."

As she spoke, Luo Yi clapped her hands.

Hmm? Does this mean that everyone in this royal city is ordered around by clapping their hands to command servants? ... That makes me quite curious.

Soon, several people dressed in white chef's uniforms walked in, each carrying a large knife, and began to butcher the wild boar, which was already roasted and smelled delicious.

Of course, it will still be in order, starting with the First Princess Katanina, then Elena, Roy, and finally me.

However, I do know a little about it. You can't talk or make noise while eating in the royal city, otherwise you'll be laughed at and considered uncouth. Most importantly, it's considered disrespectful to the gods who provide the food.

Therefore, in the past, it was forbidden to slurp soup down without making any noise, such as the spoon hitting the plate.

However, a slight sound is still acceptable, because no one can truly eat in complete silence.

Just after the princesses had finished distributing the food, a chef with a badge on his chest, who was probably the head chef or deputy head chef of the royal court, held up one, two, three, four, and five fingers in turn towards me.

What the hell is this? Why do I need to stick out my finger to eat?

Does this mean it indicates how much to eat?

Since that's the case, and I usually have a pretty big appetite, but I probably can't handle five, then I'll go with four.

As I was thinking about it, I simply held up four fingers.

When he saw me hold up four fingers, the cook was stunned for a moment. But disobeying the orders of a princess and a VIP would be a very serious crime, so he could only quietly continue cutting the meat.

However, I quickly turned to look at Roy and Elena, and even Princess Katanina, who was further away, all of whom looked very surprised.

"Eh……"

Could it be that I've said too much...? Really, I don't understand any of the rules in the royal city, or what this finger gesture means, so there's no way I could possibly know what it means.

Not long after, the head chef of the palace brought over a huge plate with what looked to be about four pounds of pork, already sliced ​​and placed in front of me.

I was instantly shocked... Holy crap, I can only eat half at most! Does that mean he held up his fingers to tell me the weight...? Does that mean four fingers represent about four pounds...?

Uh, what should we do...?

This is such a huge portion, there's no way I could possibly finish it all by myself! This is a full four liberties (liberties are the unit of weight in this world, one liberty = 500g) of meat! ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah…

However, it would be too embarrassing not to finish it, so I elegantly spent about half an hour to finally... finish the four pounds of wild boar meat into my mouth.

Seriously, this stuff is really delicious...

However, even the most delicious food shouldn't be eaten in excess. At this moment, my stomach felt like I was several months pregnant; I was so full that I couldn't move at all.

If I were to move even slightly, I feel like I'd vomit on the spot, and that would be far too unbecoming of a princess from a border kingdom...

Sigh, I'll just lean back in my chair and get some rest.

"I'm sorry... Ivy, I thought you would only hold up two fingers, but I didn't expect you to hold up four fingers."
