40 Chapter 38: Fending For Herself (1/2)
.....
Ivery sat at the long, worn out, wooden dining table in the morning for breakfast.
At the table sat 16 other kids that looked no older or younger than 14.
The food in front of them appalled the kids, the small slices of bread on their plates had large amounts of mold on them, the 'soup' on the table was just murky boiled water with spoiled chunks of vegetables floating inside.
You could hear and see the flies buzzing around the foul-smelling dishes.
Ivery refused to eat something like this, no wonder the children become ill so often!
She pushed her plate away from her, not intending to take one bite, the stench of the molding bread and spoiled vegetables made her sick to her stomach. She'd rather starve for the day than eat this mess that was given.
”Why aren't you eating, child?” A maid behind her asked with a raised eyebrow
Ivery turned around and faced the maid.
”It stinks, I don't want it” Ivery said
”Be grateful we're even feeding you worthless kids at all, especially you who was kicked out of the castle” The maid laughed
”Would you eat this then?” Ivery narrowed her eyes and asked
”Why would I eat something that was made for you brats?” She smirked
”Have some of this tonight..” Ivery pointed at the bowl and plate of spoiled food
Ivery's eyes slightly glowed, which was undetected by the maid...
”What...?” The maid felt a sudden sense of dizziness

”I'm done” Ivery got out of her chair and walked away from the table
”Hey! You didn't eat you ungrateful child!” Another maid spoke
”I'm not hungry, so are you going to force me to eat? If you care about the food so much then will you eat it for me instead?” Ivery smiled
”I-It was made for you so why would I eat it?” The maid responded
”Because I don't want it and you want it to be eaten, so I'm offering it for you to eat it” Ivery got out of her chair
All of the children at the table whispered to each other..
”I'm not hungry either!” A kid yelled
”Me too!” Another kid said
”My stomach hurts” Another spoke out
Eventually, all of the kids got out of their chairs, each of them vocalizing that they all didn't want to eat.
”Next time, serve edible food” Ivery told the maids as she walked off
”And a reminder, don't serve us anything that you wouldn't ever think to eat for yourselves” Ivery added as she continued walking away
”T-That girl!” The maids were agitated with Ivery's attitude
...
Ivery gathered all of the children that dismissed themselves early from breakfast 30 minutes later.
She pushed forward a giant wooden bucket.
They all stared in amazement when they saw that the 4 feet tall wooden bucket was filled with fresh baked goods such as, sweet bread, glazed donuts, muffins, biscuit, cookies, and cinnamon rolls.
They all immediately shoved their hands into the wooden bucket, grabbing everything they wanted.
They feasted on the baked goods as if they've been starving for days.
Ivery herself had taken three cookies and munched away.
It could be wondered how'd Ivery got her hands on so many freshly baked goods..
In truth, she sent Loki to the Lilith castle with a note to give to her father.
What was written on the note,
~ ”Can you send several pastries for breakfast father?”
-Inanna
.....
Although, Ivery never thought Julian would send this much. She was surprised at the giant bucket Loki was carrying after he came back from the Lilith castle.
