When Cordelia woke up the next morning, she immediately changed her clothes and went to the dining room.

Good morning, Onii-sama.

Mm.

Cyrus was already in the living room. He was reading a newspaper over a cup of tea.

The newspaper in this world didnt have any illustrations or photographs, and, if there were no titles, then it would look like a dictionary because it was packed full of words. Therefore, there werent many pages. It wasnt as common as in her previous life, but ordinary families could read newspapers too if they had extra income.

Cordelia usually read the newspaper after Elvis was done with it. Recently, most of the articles had been about the Founding Festival. Where important people could be seen, the Royal Familys speeches It was filled with political articles and articles about eating contests. Several days had already passed since the Founding Festival, but they were still writing about it.

(A lot of things happened during the Founding Festival, and it was so peaceful because no big incidents happened.)

Thats good. But if Onii-sama is reading about the eating contests.. No, theres no way hes reading that.

(Onii-sama really looks like Otou-sama.)

They were about 20 years apart in age, but their presences were imposing. She wondered if it was because he was a deputy commander.

(Now I really want to see Otou-sama in a knight uniform.)

Hell probably suit it if he wears it now. Well, I dont think he would wear it just because I imagined it.

Her food came straight away when she sat down.

Todays breakfast was the galette and salad that she had ordered yesterday. The galette was made with mushroom, asparagus, cheese, bacon and a soft-boiled egg. She also enjoyed the chalky texture of the buckwheat flour. Apparently, people didnt eat it often in the Royal Capital, but she had it for breakfast once every few days. Cyrus saw her at the corner of his eyes and looked up from the newspaper.

Is that a dish from the seaside city?

Yes. I found out about buckwheat flour while procuring herbs, so I also obtained the cooking method. They eat this dish in a more simple way where its from. Do you know about this dish Onii-sama?

Ive been there on a mission, but Ive never had that before.

Would you also like to have some, Onii-sama?

He probably didnt have any time to roam freely, since he went there on a mission.

If youre interested in it, then you should eat it. Of course, I didnt make this myself, but Im the only one who eats it right now. If I dont ask him, then Onii-sama will probably have his usual breakfast.

However, Cyrus shook his head lightly.

No, Ill eat that on my day off.

Cordelia was surprised by his answer.

He probably has training today. His job requires a lot of stamina. He probably needs food that will fill him up.

After a while, food was carried out to Cyrus, who had finished reading his newspaper. His breakfast seemed to be twice as much as Cordelias. He had a mountain of salad, bread, meat and fish Cyrus ate his food calmly and neatly.

( With this amount, it probably doesnt matter if its filling or not.)

She ate with him occasionally, but she always thought that he ate a lot.
