“Slow down, slave gal. You are spilling blood everywhere!” Cassius tutted whilst trying to instruct Sylvia on how to handle the dead game.

Sylvia rolled her eyes and then asked hiding a twinkle within them. “Should I just watch you do it first, your highness?”

“I mean I don’t want to ruin the meat.”

She raised her hands nervously and then waved them, along with a bitter smile.

The little kid looked at her, innocence brimming in his eyes, and then nodded with a sweet smile.

“Ok, slave girl, Watch me closely.”

Sylvia chuckled inwardly, celebrating her small victory. Take that you little pest!

She then hummed as free as a bird, walking happily while the small boy lugged around both the huge dead animals.

She might not be able to outwit the big devil just yet but the little devil… He He He…

After a few minutes, Cassius finally finished dragging both the boars to the nearby brook, of course, all by himself.

He wiped the sweat off of his small face and took a few deep breaths in. He looked slightly out of breath.

Even though the boy was probably bathed in nutritious food for the entirety of his life, not to mention other elixirs and magic supplements, it was still a bit of a chore for him to handle this much weight.

Sylvia would have felt bad for him but she remembered how the little devil had trapped her unfairly a while back, so she was determined to get her revenge.

She watched the young boy splash some water on his face when she tilted her head to the side with an innocent and gentle smile dancing on her lips.

“You are so strong, your highness.” She first praised him and then… “But how do we eat this now?”

“Aha Ha Ha Ha. Slave gal, have you never eaten a wild boar before?” Cassius beamed immediately forgetting his tiredness.

“Boar meat actually tastes very very good.”

“Especially their legs taste juicy and delicious.”

Sylvia chuckled inwardly as she patiently listened to his rant. The little brat really liked showing off!

Of course, every now and then her gaze flitted towards the two men to make sure that they were busy talking with each other and not observing them.

Otherwise, she would be in a world of trouble for tricking the little prince into doing her dirty work!

After Cassius bragged a bit, he energetically started demonstrating to Sylvia and teaching her how to skin a boar.

“Slave gal, you have to be extra careful when removing the skin from a beast.

“Because we can use them for so many things like making tough clothes, bags, and other things.”

“And then your highness?” Sylvia blinked with a small smile, playing the part of an attentive student.

The little kid carefully placed the skin on the side, folding it neat and tidy.

“After the skin, then we should cut out the different parts and remove the innards from the edible meat.”

“First put your hand inside like this…”

Sylvia watched as the little kid pushed his hand effortlessly inside the boar’s throat.

He then pulled out a bunch of bloody things jiggling and wiggling.

Yuck! Sylvia cringed, the sight of the raw meat making her want to puke.

Blood gushed out as the little kid carefully did everything from the beginning to end.

He separated out all the fleshy and the meaty parts from the bony parts and carefully cleaned everything with the water from the brook.

It took him an entire hour but the little kid quickly finished everything with finesse and ease as if he had done this a million times.

Just old is he? How many boars has he killed and skinned at this young age?

Sylvia gulped as she pondered curiously, while the boy still continued giving her pointers which might as well be falling on deaf ears because Sylvia’s thoughts were surely elsewhere.

“The legs are the tastiest and the yummiest.” The kid rambled on, literally drooling at this point.

Sylvia on the other hand couldn’t even think about eating right now.

She was at first enjoying herself with her little game but the sight of so much blood was slowly making her nauseous, so much so that she completely failed to notice that a certain someone’s attention was back on her.

“Heh. What a naughty little kitten you are…” 

“Behaving so cute and innocent in front of me…but the minute I give you a little space…”

“You immediately run amok… Heh”

Mikel ran his long and lean fingers leisurely through his golden locks.

His mesmerizing gaze lingered on the woman who was happily bullying the child to her heart’s content.
