Chapter 8: Meeting in a Different World, Enjoying Delicacies!
Lolth didn’t know what Tina had just imagined from looking at a map and what determination she had made.
However, she did notice a change in Tina’s demeanor…
As a succubus, she had never learned the common spells of the Succubus clan and didn’t know how to Charm, manipulate minds, or peer into souls.
But her innate abilities still made her very sensitive to emotions on a soulful level.
Just like touch and smell, it is a natural feeling.
Of course, in succubus, her talent is still very poor.
Lolth looked at Tina sitting calmly with her hands crossed on the table, feeling her fear and panic ease a lot, it seemed like she had become much calmer.
It looks like they have finally entered a communicative state.
Indeed, letting this guy be alone for a while was right!
Lolth didn’t think too much and placed the food container she was holding on the table.
There were two flat plates, each with a sliced, steaming hot pie, topped with small nuts and vanilla crumbs on the crispy golden crust, with a rich purple-red jam filling slowly flowing out from the cut, exuding a rich, wine-like fruity aroma.
Tina was slightly surprised to see the pie placed in front of her.
“Is this… raspberry and nut pie?”
She asked Lolth herself.
“Oh, you recognized it! Looks like you did a good job,” Lolth was very happy to hear Tina mention the name of the fruit pie, “Come and try it, authentic or not.”
But Tina didn’t start eating immediately, instead, she looked at Lolth with some doubt.
“Why did you make our Elven traditional food?”
“Well, actually I’m not very skilled at it, so I might trouble you more in the future for Elven culinary research.”
Even though Lolth had been studying Elven cuisine for a while, this was her first attempt at making a complicated raspberry nut pie.
She believed that as an Elf Princess, Tina could provide valuable feedback!
Making this dish for Tina was basically like making a common home-cooked meal for the Elves, such as ” scrambled eggs with tomatoes”, a signal of goodwill!
However, Tina didn’t feel happy looking at this pie.
“Did someone teach you this?”
She thought of a possibility.
Maybe it was the traitor who taught this succubus the recipe for this pie.
Was it to make herself uncertain?
But no matter the other person’s intentions, Tina couldn’t enjoy the hometown delicacy peacefully at this time and place.
“No, I learned it by myself.”
Saying so, Lolth noticed Tina not eating and started eating by herself.
“Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous.”
She picked up the pie, took a bite, and the crispy nutty crust made a subtle and enticing cracking sound.
“Click.”
Tina couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Although she had eaten a bowl of pork chop rice not long ago, she… was hungry again.
Against all odds, Tina picked up the pie.
“Click.”
She also took a bite.
An unexpectedly delicious flavor burst on her taste buds.
As the Moon Elf Princess, her meals were all prepared by specialized and highly skilled chefs.
However, Tina had to admit that this was still the most delicious raspberry nut pie she had ever eaten.
Perfect cooking, perfect nuts and vanilla recipe, perfect jam filling…
There’s even a hint of intoxicating taste.
“…Delicious, this subtle, unique jam flavor… it’s so incredible…”
Despite not wanting to admit it, Tina couldn’t help but blurt out.
As a pure elf, she couldn’t deceive her own heart.
“It’s fermentation, I added a little fermented raspberries to the jam in proportion.”
Lolth, looking at her Elven cuisine being appreciated by an Elven princess, felt even happier.
“It’s good that you like it, Your Highness… This is the first time my cooking has been acknowledged, those taste buds of the demon race are rotten, they don’t deserve good food!”
“Is that so, then have other elves not recognized your cooking,” coming back to her senses, Tina finally realized she still had a “mission”, she hastily hinted, “I believe no elf would deny your excellent skill, even from an opposing stance.”
Lolth shook her head and said helplessly, “Other than you, there are no other elves in the Demon King Castle… not even humans!”
Upon hearing this, Tina suddenly lifted her head.
“No other elves, no humans,” Tina, who had been figuring out how to extract information about the ‘traitor’, felt somewhat incredulous. “Then what about orcs, dwarves?”
“Nope, in the Demon King Castle, it’s all demon race,” watching Tina get excited again, Lolth felt a bit puzzled. “Only you, a non-demon race fellow, were brought back from the front line as a captive, so naturally, you are the only one here who’s not a demon race.”
Tina sat in the chair, stunned, and the pie in her hand dropped onto the plate with a thud.
She looked incredulously at the map.
“Where did you get this information on the map from?”
