Adam looked around and saw a hall in front of him, in the middle of which was a large and long table. On this table, which was made of wood and decorated with leaves, were plates of food.

The smell of the food alone could make Adam swallow his saliva. Although there were no meat dishes, Adam was already delighted by the quality and smell of the food.

“Ah, you’re here”.

Behind him, there was suddenly a voice, soft and gentle, full of femininity and kindness. When Adam turned his head, he saw Amaria, the Elf Queen.

She smiled softly, and her green eyes sparkled with kindness. Adam, without wasting a second, bowed.

“Good day, Your Majesty. I have come at your order.” Adam said it clearly, remembering to activate his skill “Mastery of Communication”.

In normal times, Adam would not have let go of the chance to admire her beauty, but after the battle in the Royal Arena, Adam did not want to provoke her.

“Come on, let’s sit down.” Amaria waved her hand and sat down at the table, inviting Adam.

Adam sat down as well, but his place was a bit risky–right next door to Amaria. For his own safety, Adam activated Casanova’s skills: “Mastery of Communication”, “Art of Seduction” and “Charming Appearance”.

Immediately, his aura changed, and Adam became seductive and even more handsome. Adam smiled softly and ignored the influx of fatigue.

But even with all this effort, Amaria remained as smiley as ever. Adam could only sigh in his thoughts.

“It looks like it’s going to take a major upgrade to seduce someone at her level.” Adam sighed.

The maids entered the room and began to feed Adam and Amaria. The first course was a soup of ingredients unknown to Adam. When Adam saw that the Elf Queen also began to eat, he took a spoon in his hands and began to eat the soup.

Immediately after the first spoonful, Adam felt a warmth in his chest, and his vitality seemed to increase. The side effects were slight pain and dizziness, but Adam didn’t pay much attention to them.

His eyes sparkled brightly, and he began to eat his soup, disregarding Amaria and the maids. Of course, normally the maids would have scolded Adam for his lack of manners, but now Adam was in “full armor,” so even his barbaric method seemed overly elegant. ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

That’s what they call the privilege of being handsome!

When Adam finished eating his soup, he leaned back in his chair and felt satisfied. Then he saw the smiling gaze of Amaria, who looked at him without blinking.

Adam was embarrassed and coughed, to which Amaria laughed softly.

“I’m glad you liked it.” Amaria set the soup aside and ordered the second course to be brought. “This soup is made from the sap of the Elvish tree, which grows only in Elfheim. It is harmless, even to demons, and also increases vitality and therefore longevity.”

“This is truly astonishing, Your Majesty.” Adam smiled admiringly, causing the servants to gasp. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity”.

The lifespan of an Inferior Demon is 150 years. And if you consider the increase in life force from this soup, Adam could easily live for 200 years!

He was no more than twenty now, as far as a demon’s body was concerned. So Adam didn’t think much about increasing his lifespan.

A few minutes later, a dish that was strange to Adam was served. It was leaves, apparently baked with honeycomb honey. They smelled pleasant, but Adam doubted whether it was safe to eat.

However, seeing that Amaria began to eat, Adam also decided to try. After all, it’s dinner with the Elf Queen, and even if he doesn’t like it, Adam has to eat it all.

“Hmm?” Adam opened his eyes wide as he tasted this unusual dish.

Initially, there was an incomprehensible aftertaste, more like mint, and then sweetness followed. It was moderately sweet, and with the special flavor of the leaves, it was very tasty.

There was also a silver-colored liquid in the leaves that had a minty flavor. This liquid made Adam feel awake and active.

“The leaves of the Moon rose are the main ingredient. These leaves grow only in mid-spring and can only be harvested during the full moon. They have miraculous properties and can make even the most tired person feel awake and active”.

Adam blinked and nodded. The elven forest was indeed full of stunning trees and plants that would shake the mind of an ordinary human. This is why many bandits and poachers dare to come to Elfheim because of their greed.

Then the fish was brought to Adam. The meat was golden in color and seemed to glisten. Adam could even feel magical energy fluctuating around the fish and was stunned.

“A magical creature?” Adam asked Amaria in amazement.

“That’s right; you’re right. This is the Golden Fish Arlinn, which can only be found in the rivers of Elfheim. Catching it is very difficult and requires the help of five practitioners of the High Path who have overcome the seven desires (A+).”

Adam nodded and began to eat. The fish literally melted on his tongue. The delicate texture and flavor of the fish were exquisite and beautiful, making Adam shudder with satisfaction.

Then he saw Amaria just sitting there, smiling. Her plate was empty, which was wrong considering her status.

“Your Majesty, why aren’t you eating?” Adam was puzzled.

“Oh, that’s… Unfortunately, Golden Fish Arlinn is very hard to catch, and I can only eat it once every three months.” Amaria smiled softly, shaking her head. “You’re my guest, so it’s no problem for me to give up this portion.”

Adam nodded understandingly, and then a strange idea occurred to him. He looked at the fish and, hesitating, carefully cut it into one piece and put it on his fork.

He picked up his fork nervously and held it out to Amaria, smiling: “Then I will share it with Your Majesty.”

There was silence. The gazes of all the maids, including Amaria, we’re focused on Adam. Most of the stares were stunned, full of disbelief and shock.

Amaria blinked and looked charming. Her usual detached aura was gone, and she looked like an ordinary girl who had received a declaration of love. Amaria’s eyes were wide open, and her whole face showed amazement.

Even after five minutes, it was quiet. Adam became nervous and already regretted his actions. She was the Queen, after all, and he was essentially a prisoner.

“I’m not going to get killed, am I?” Adam hesitated, then froze.

He saw Amaria lean over and eat a piece of fish! She stepped back and took a napkin, wiping her cherry lips and smiling.

“As expected, it was delicious.”

Now it was time for Adam to freeze in shock, and he was in prostration. His thoughts were on the words, “I fed the queen”. The maids also looked at Amaria in shock, and their thoughts were on the words. “He fed the queen”.

However, amidst all the shock, no one noticed Amaria’s slightly ruddy cheeks.

Ten minutes later, the dishes were gone, and the sweets and tea were in their place. Adam still felt uncomfortable, but he overcame the feeling and returned to his normal expression.

“Your Majesty, I assume that this meal is not the only occasion for which you have summoned me.” Asked Adam.

Amaria smiled softly, but her smile was a little different than usual. She said, “Of course not. I recently received a request from one of the elders, Iliantra.”

“Elder of Wisdom, Iliantra?” Adam asked.

“That’s right, she was interested in your potential and asked permission to train you as her apprentice.” Amaria smiled softly. “Go and talk to her; I’m sure she’ll take good care of you.”

Adam smiled and nodded, though for some reason he felt a chill on his spine.

“I have a strange feeling.”
