The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

After leaving the audience room, I headed to a separate residence in the royal residence area while being guided through the royal palace by His Highness Gresis.

“Welcome home, Your Highness Gresis, Your Highness Lilith.”
The Maids, led by a man who seemed to be a butler, welcomed us in the entrance hall.

“He’s the butler, Dolph, a leopard beastman. Ask him anything you don’t understand.”

His Highness Gresis suddenly changed his way of speaking, perhaps because he relaxed his mind after arriving at the mansion.
It seems that the polite way of speaking up until now as gone to the other side.

“Nice to meet you, Dolph.”
“Nice to meet you, too.”

Dolph returned a gentle smile.
He looks to be in his late thirties.
He was a tall, dignified man with brown hair and orange eyes.

“Now, the meal is ready. Both of you, please go to the dining room.”

I was escorted to the dining room by His Highness Gresis.
I noticed it when I was guided to the table in the dining room and sat across from His Highness Gresis.

After entering the Tenar Kingdom, I ate in the room in the morning and at night, and had lunch in the carriage.

Moreover, this is also my first experience of dining with a man who is not from my family.

While my heart was pounding, I faced His Highness Gresis and had a meal.

The meals up until now had been served with dishes that imitated the Seiran Kingdom, perhaps out of consideration.

But tonight’s dinner is Tenar Kingdom’s unique course meal lined up on the table.

When I look closely, I find that there are some ingredients that I’ve never seen before, and all of them are of good quality and beautifully plated, and the amount of food has been taken into consideration so that I can eat just the right amount.

From now on, I have to get used to the various cultures of this country.

Compared to the meals of commoners, the meals of the royal family are high-class and extravagant. So choose likes or dislikes.
I remember being taught that by an educator.

“Let’s eat”
All of them are very delicious.

“It’s delicious.”
“Yes.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen the ingredients in this salad. What kind of vegetables are they?”
White vegetables are cut into wedges.

“It’s a round, white root vegetable that’s often grown in this area called Kaub.”
“It’s very fresh.”

“Yes.”
His Highness Gresis will answer my questions.
But he won’t start a conversation.

Maybe it’s the manners of Tenar Kingdom to eat quietly without talking.

The educator didn’t say anything about Tenar Kingdom’s dining etiquette, but I didn’t learn about changes in physical condition due to barriers, so there might be other things I didn’t learn.

Following in the footsteps of His Highness Gresis, I obediently devote myself to my meal.

Yes, they are all delicious.
The food in the Tenar Kingdom has a taste that suits my palate, so I’m happy.
I was relieved that food culture seemed to be fun.

“The meal used monster meat, but it looks like you ate it.”
As soon as I finished my meal, His Highness Gresis came to talk to me, and it clicked.

“Is that the main meat? It was my first time to eat it, but it was soft and had just the right amount of elasticity, and it was very delicious. The cook’s skill is amazing.”

My first monster food experience was more delicious than I thought, so I was inadvertently amazed.
His Highness Gresis’s eyes widened for a moment, and immediately returned to his original expression.

“If you say that, the chef will serve monster meat again.”
“I’m really looking forward to it. If it’s meat this delicious, it looks like it’ll be accepted even if it’s exported to the Seiran Kingdom.”

“No, it can’t be.”
It was flatly denied by His Highness Gresis. It was a natural reaction.

If I returned to my homeland and say that I ate monsters, I might be called one of the barbarians.

But meat is precious, and if monster food is accepted in the Seiran Kingdom, the people will be able to eat meat even if the livestock industry suffers a blow, and they won’t have to starve.

Perhaps my country’s way of thinking that beastmen who eat monster meat are savages may change.

That’s right, let’s report it to my brother in a letter.
The monster meat was delicious.

 

The Seiran Kingdom’s way of thinking is kind of stuck up if you ask me. Lilith’s mindset is correct. Preventing people from starving is more important than pride.
