On a level of the treehouse, Valentina saw the food prepared for her by a kind person.

"Wow—"

The generosity of the other party far exceeded her expectations!

This obviously kind-hearted Dark Elf, after a moment of preparation, surprisingly presented a rather luxurious feast.

Things flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water... an array of delights, all available!

The variety of ingredients even surpassed the banquet Herbert took her to at the Royal Palace last time.

Furthermore, it seemed to consider Valentina's race, as the portions were very large, piled up into a small mountain!

Although most of it hadn't been cooked, Valentina expressed—this wasn't a problem at all.

It's all the same when it reaches her stomach!

Besides, having something to eat is already fortunate, why pick and choose?

It's been a long time since I fought such a prosperous battle!

"Could it be! All, are these all for me!!?"

Valentina's eyes widened, her eye corners and mouth sparkling, feeling that liquid might flow down.

Slurp... gulp.

She excitedly paced on the spot, nearly rushing over immediately.

Anxious.

Anxious anxious anxious!

So anxious!

Fortunately, after Herbert's diligent and laborious general education, Valentina's understanding of social graces greatly improved.

At this moment, she actually refrained!

Valentina resisted her instincts with great willpower, forcefully standing on the spot.

She tilted her head slightly towards Svanni beside her, but her eyes still stared straight ahead, asking with difficulty, "Uhm, hiss... Svanni? Can I really eat?"

It must be, right?

You've brought it out!

No reason to not let me eat it, right!?

If Herbert were present at this moment, he would certainly tease Valentina's appetite a bit, deliberately dragging for a while until she couldn't hold it anymore before agreeing.

Here to declare, it was just a playful interaction between them two (highlight this), not mistreatment of Miss Hungry Dragon!

Svanni, on the other hand, was much kinder than Herbert in this regard.

She didn't deliberately play games, nodding and saying directly, "Yes, Miss Valentina, please enjoy."

"Woohoo! Yay!"

Unable to wait any longer, Miss Hungry Dragon at this moment didn't care about appearances at all, directly diving headfirst into the food mound.

Thud!

Then, the sound of munching quickly echoed from the mound.

Crunch crunch crunch...

Valentina devoured the food generously provided to her.

At this moment, her actions lacked any elegance, it was a completely raw, urgent state of emergency.

It was as if one more second of delay in eating would lead to starvation.

It's like a starving ghost possessed her.

Munch.

Crunch!

Chew chew chew chew chew chew...

The food crumbs tainting her mouth didn't affect her eating speed at all, her tongue quickly swirling around to lick it clean.

Crunch crunch crunch!

This piece of unknown meat, so delicious!

Tastes like beef!

This meat's breed is also unknown, but it's tasty!

"Hmm?"

Valentina paused her movement, looking at the fruit she had picked up.

This fruit is so strange!

Though it looks like a normal fruit, it smells of flesh, just what is this...

"Who cares!"

Valentina didn't think twice, just tossed it into her mouth and bit down.

Poof.

A mouthful of bursting juice!

"Oh! This has a milky, sweet taste!"

Miss Hungry Dragon did not worry about any tricks hidden in the food.

Haha, not afraid at all.

Not to mention her stomach acid that can digest even metal, her instincts didn't warn her of any danger.

Svanni gave it to me, Svanni is a good person.

She's really nice!

While thinking about these, Valentina devoured the food mountain at an astonishing pace.

Chew chew chew... gulp!

This bread-like thing is quite chewy, very resilient.

What's this again?

Oh well, directly into my stomach!

…

While Valentina was feasting on the food pile, the Dark Elf Mage nearby did not intervene.

"..."

Svanni's actions formed a sharp contrast with Valentina's current state, as Svanni just quietly held a cup of hot tea, silently observing the dragon lady's frenzied eating.

From time to time, elegantly lifting the teacup for a sip, suppressing the waves rising in her heart.

"...What on earth is happening?"

Truth be told, Svanni was a bit bewildered now.

Why did this dragon named Valentina appear here?

Regarding Valentina's self-proclaimed reason, Svanni maintained a considerable degree of skepticism.

What does "because I was too hungry, wanted to find food and came here..." mean?

Isn't this place supposed to be escape-proof?

Am I running a cafeteria here?

Regarding the truth, Svanni is more inclined to believe Valentina hasn't told the whole story.

At least, not completely; definitely held something back.

Or perhaps, she too is unclear, merely being guided here by someone behind the scenes.

And the person Svanni identified as behind the scenes now had only one—Herbert, the young yet formidable Prison Warden.

So, was it Herbert who brought her here?

A warning for me?

A warning with this gigantic dragon not to act rashly?

Or...

The conversation during Svanni and Herbert's last separation wasn't exactly harmonious, leaving somewhat on an unhappy note.

Svanni admitted, she indeed had some mindset issues back then, harbored some sneaky thoughts, and underestimated Herbert.
