A new day under the Prince's rule. The palace awoke as rays of sun beamed down upon the Prince's throne.

"Stand beside me, foreigner."

I nodded my head, walking up the first three steps, feeling the suns rays warm my shoulders.

"The General is awake. Reiner claims his injuries are minimal, the pair are due to leave tomorrow."

I nodded my head once again, casting my eyes to my sword. Jean's cloth had been stained with crimson blood - reminding me of the fight.

"I see..."

Quiet footsteps earned my attention as I looked up and met the empty eyes of Reiner - who slowly followed behind General Pixis.

"Thank you for letting us stay, your majesty..."

The Prince rose from his throne, swiftly greeting the General. I remained still, being in Reiner's presence had unnerved me. His clothes are from Chi... such vibrant and soft material... Reiner looked a little pale, yet stood up straight, which must of been painful due to his injury.

"Afternoon, (Y/N)."

I crossed my arms, averting my gaze to the elegant palace windows.

"Reiner."

I spoke his name once, indicating my greeting was informal and slightly rude. Reiner furrowed his brows, parting his lips to speak.

"The General has some food we brought from Chi - he wishes to eat lunch, just the three of us."

My eyes widened; noodles? Boiled egg with onions? Please be boiled egg. Reiner crossed his arms, casting his eyes towards the General who smiled warmly at my peaked interest.

General Pixis informed the Prince of the basket of foods they'd brought to this kingdom. I immediately turned towards the Prince, who rolled his eyes upon seeing my needy face.

"I'll permit it. Eat whatever you damn like."

I smiled as the General chuckled at my excitement to taste the foods I'd eaten as a child.

"I'll send the basket to your chefs... if they'd be so kind as to prepare it... I wrote down instructions on the methods of cooking."

The Prince nodded his head, clicking his fingers as two guards left the throne room, set with the task of informing the chefs to take care while cooking foreign foods and the importance of the guests.

The Chi cuisine took several hours to prepare, the Prince provided the three of us with a beautifully crafted wire table, curling into many flower designs.

Petra joined the Prince as the two enjoyed a hearty lunch - playing a game of chess a little distance away. General Pixis and Reiner sat opposite me as I rose a white clay cup to my lips, sipping a little Jiuniang. (fermented sweet rice wine.) General Pixis smiled, turning to Reiner who bowed his head as his master disciplined him.
