Chapter 275 - The Ark Of Worry Not, Fear Me (1/2)

The door creaked as it swung open, revealing a large table for luxurious eating. Food was set out, seemingly like a buffet style. From seafood to poultry and even to pasta, the whole table was fit for at least 20 families to eat.

Mavislin did a quick scan of the room. The windows were as tall as Bryan and there were six of them. Velvet curtains decorated the giant windows, with them being parted to let light in. Across the hall, opposite to the door they stood at was another door.​​

The glare of the windows did a great job in hindering Mavislin's sight of the people at the back of the alley. But it could not deter the foul smell of humans starving.

”That's so much food! Is this how much you present for only two people?!” exclaimed Bryan, eyes sparkling.

”Usually, not so much. But Mavislin struck me as a person who can indulge a lot at one time, so I've decided to get extras for this time. Do you not like these, Mavislin?” asked Clement, gesturing at the food.

”Are you calling her a glutton?!” protested Bryan.

”I can finish all this now,” said Mavislin, drooling.

Bryan swung his head to turn towards Mavislin.

”Boss! Hey, why did you have to prepare so much? How about saving some for the other folks?” asked Bryan, still exasperated.

”Other folks?” asked Clement, raising an eyebrow.

”Yea, there were several starving people at the back alleys, how about giving some to them?” asked Bryan.

Mavislin could not help but made her way to the piles of food. But before that, she decided to give another whiff of the area. She walked towards the few windows and touched the windows' sills.

”I can guarantee that they are free of dust,” boasted Clement.

”I can tell. I just like the design of the windows and the curtains. My home doesn't have such beautiful things.”

After the inspection, Mavislin plopped down onto a cushioned seat, with a smile on her face.

”They aren't my concern,” replied Clement, unaware of Bryan's sense of compassion.

”Aren't you human? Aren't they Albion's people? Why can't you spare some food for them?” asked Bryan, slightly annoyed at this man.

Clement widened his eyes, a mere commoner was trying to lecture him? He smiled as he saw Mavislin drooling at the lobsters.

”Go ahead, Lady Mavislin. Those are all for you,” said Clement.
