I am right now sitting next to my father in the dining room and my goodness is it awkward. I mean Hilana is with me plus some maids and guards but this is just oof. I sneaked glances at my father and he seemed very pissed for some odd reason and he keeps holding his stomach. 'Why is he holding his stomach. Is he sick or something? Why am I getting so worried and why am I not calming down? Oh my goodness this man is affecting me! I don't know how to feel?!' My father peeked over at me and I quickly looked away. I waited until it felt safe and glanced back but he was still looking at me and I quickly looked away. I am not gonna make eye contact but it may be too late for me.

Enmya and Amura soon entered the dining room and they placed food after food of ready, cooked meals. I mean one plate is a serving size of at least two people. My father picked up his fork and started shoving it down his throat. 'Has this man not been fed or something. He is eating like he is drinking water.' I watched as my father quickly finished plate after plate within seconds of them coming out. Amura took away the empty plates while Enmya brought in the freshly cooked food. Before I knew it the whole table was filled with food that could serve a party of 50 people at minimum.

'Is this what they meant by a royal meal. I can see why they were talking like that earlier. I totally understand now. I mean watching all this food is making me full.' My father paused in eating his half-empty plate of meat mixed with vegetables and noodles. He looked up at me. "Eat...bug." He said and I felt a stab in the heart. 'I despise him. I'll murder him in his sleep. I'll suffocate him with his pillow! Calm down me too soon, too soon.' I shook my head.

"Your majesty the princess already ate a bit before coming here." Hilana said and father hummed.

"How much?" Hilana thought for a moment.

"Just a little snack. The princess doesn't require much food since she's so young." Hilana answered. My father looked at me with furrowed brows and with a look of slight astonishment or is that disgust, I really can't tell.

"How are you still alive?" He asked looking at me like I'm something strange. 'That should be my question. How have you not died from heartburn or a heart attack.' I smiled at my father and he smirked back at me. That is not a good sign. "Finish it all or be the next meal." My father said and one of the maids placed a plate bigger than the size of my head in front of me with different food on it. 'To what?! The next meal to what?! Your insatiable royal ravine or to all the starving animals out there?!"

"Your majesty I'm afraid the princess is not ready to eat this much as of yet. Her body is still small so she doesn't require that much nutrition." Hilana tried to defend me but my bully didn't care. I didn't lose my smile instead I widened it basically accepting this stupid challenge and that irritated him just a bit since he lost that smirk.

I picked up my tiny spoon and scooped as much as I can into my mouth and started chewing quickly. 'It's good, the chef's cooking is not to be underestimated.' Hilana looked at me quite shocked. 'I'll show him. I'll finish it looking sparkly clean.' I regret what I said. Halfway through the plate, I'm all full. I don't think I can eat anymore but I have to. It is a goal even though it's a stupid goal it's a goal! 'I will win this, just wait!' I challenged him. I kept shoving mouthfuls of food and eating felt so endless. By the time I had cleaned the plate, the table was clear of food. 'This gluttonous being, he isn't human. He can't be considered human, what a glutton, I wonder if that stomach of his even has a limit?' We kinda both finished at the same time but mine was looking polished, though that quickly bit me back. My stomach started turning inside with the food all slushing around and it hurt, felt like throwing up. I held my stomach as all the food was going somewhere else because my stomach had no more room left. I looked around to find no sign of my nanny anywhere. 'Nanny where are you?!' I tried to think back and I think I saw her leave the room looking a little distressed. I was too busy with the food to really pay attention. Either way, this is karma for being dumb.
