After Yossi departed, Olivia reclined on the bed, ovee by profound sorrow.
Never in her wildest imaginings did shetemte a day when Andrew would mete out retribution
upon her.
She pondered. “Could he truly be contemting severing my fingers.
She extended her hands and gazed upon the ten dainty fingers resembling ivory–hued tendrils. The
thought of losing event one of them was beyond her capacity to fathom.
Should be indeed harbor intentions to amputate her fingers, she resolved to forever disregard his
presence.
In a bewildered haze, Olivia drifted back into slumber. Upon awakening, the clock had already struck 6
PM, signaling the onset of the evening, a customary hour for dinner.
Nancy Banks arrived bearing two tes of unidentified culinary creations. As she poised to nudge the
door ajar and make her entrance, her progress was halted by Yossi, who, in an evident state of
breathlessness, blocked her way.
“Nancy Banks, wait a moment?

Nancy Hanks concealed the tter behind her back, a smile gracing her countenance as she
addressed Yossi. “What brings you here? Has Prince Andrew conveyed a message to you?”
Yossi nodded in agreement, affirming. Indeed, indeed. We penalized Miss Smith: for partaking in only
two dishes this evening. Prince Andrew has already arranged a repast and wishes for you to retrieve
it.”
“Prince Andrew himself? Nancy Banks expressed her astonishment. “I had already made the
arrangements.”
“Is it already prepared?” Yossi inquisitively cocked his head and observed the two tesden with
unappetizing murky
concoctionS
Yossi was taken aback, “What is this? Can it be consumed?”
Nancy Banks offered a strained smile as she exined. “Despite their unappealing appearance, these
two dishes are, in reality, highly nutritious. I have infused them with tonics”
“It is indeed valuable.” Yossi’s mouth watered. “Prince Andrew intends to discipline Miss Smith, and he
can’t have her savoring such delectable fare. Kindly provide me with these two dishes and proceed to
Prince Andrew’s residence to acquire the vegetables”
As he conversed. Yossi swiftly absconded with the two tes in hand.
He mused. ‘Oh, this is truly delectable. It’s best to have it inside my own belly.”
Nancy Banks seethed with frustration, her feet pounding the ground in vexation as she observed
Yossi’s departure. This was indeed a “treasure she had diligently crafted!
Fuming wouldn’t change the situation, and Yossi realized it was wiser to make her way to Prince
Andrew’s abode to discover what culinary delights Prince Andrew had readied.
Upon their arrival at Andrew’s quarters, Nancy Banks had already braced herself mentally. She
surmised that Prince Andrew was unlikely to have concocted something terribly unappetizing.
In the end, he presented her with an unexpected surprise.
There were two dishes in total. One consisted of shredded potatoes, which appeared quite pale and
lacked any discernible seasoning, giving an impression of ndness. The other was a murky soup of
obscureposition.
Nancy Banks couldn’t help but feel her mouth twitch in annoyance. This Late was even less appetizing
than what she had originally arranged.

She chuckled softly and transported the two tes to Olivia’s chamber.
Coincidentally, Olivia, who had been experiencing pangs of hunger while anticipating dinner, witnessed
Nancy Banks. delivering two tes of food.
“What is this? Can it be consumed? Olivia queried as she lifted a strand of potato.
Nancy Banks sneered, remarking. Be grateful that you have sustenance. Don’t lose sight of your
station. I might as well inform you that these two dishes are Prince Andrew’s instructions. He intends to
discipline you,”
“Regarding this shredded potato, Nancy Banks continued, further stoking the mes, Prince Andrew
stated…”
Nancy Banks was on the verge of fabricating a falsehood to unsettle Olivia further.
She noticed Olivia’s discovery as she probed the shredded potatoes and unearthed a concealed pork
rib.
What the heck
Nancy Bankss eyes nearly bulged in astonishment. How is it possible for pork ribs to be in the
shredded potatoes she
wondered.
Olivia too was taken aback. The shredded potatoes were undeniably unimpressivecking in vor, but
the hidden pork ribs turned out to be remarkably tasty
She set the shredded potatoes aside and counted a total of eight ribs concealed within. They were
meticulously arranged and each exhibited a distinct and delectable Lavor.
Among the eight ribs, two had been braised, another two were sweet and sour, and a further two were
bathed in a savory sauce. The remaining two had been fried. In sum, they offered a delightful array of
vors.
How did that happen?
Nancy Banks was taken aback. She eagerly delved into the soup with a spoon, and as anticipated, she
discovered a chicken drumstick and a sizable abalone or fish concealed within.
To fully conceal the abalone or fish and drumstick, the soup’s color was deep ck.
Nancy Banks was nearly overwhelmed with frustration. She believed that this was Prince Andrew’s
supposed punishment!”
This was far too hasty!
For a brief moment, Nancy Banks had no time to concern herself with Olivia, who was savoring her
meal. She swiftly turned and dashed out in search of Andrew.
In the dining room, Andrew was also at the table, but his appetite wascking. He merely toyed with a
single forkful of food without taking a single bite.
When Nancy Banks approached, she overheard Yossi urging Andrew, “Your Highness, you should
consume more.”
Tve lost my appetite, Andrew responded in an indifferent tone. His mood was far from pleasant, and he
appeared lost in thought.
“Your Highness” Yossi was anxious. “Please cat a little, or your body will suffer.”
“I truly cannot eat, Andrewmented, setting down his fork. “It pains me to think that Olivia is limited to
just two in dishes for her evening meal.
“She’s enduring such hardship. How can I indulge in a meal?” Andrew dered, pushing his te
away.
Unable to persuade Andrew, Yossi simply gestured to the servants to remove the uneaten food.
Nancy Banks remained on the sidelines and refrained from approaching.
Clearly, Prince Andrew believed that Olivia was already enduring hardship. If anyone were to suggest
that Olivia’s suffering was insufficient, it would certainly displease him.
Inside the room, Olivia ate at a leisurely pace. She gnawed on a piece of pork ribs and contemted
that Andrew might go as far as chopping off her little finger. To her surprise, his punishment was limited
to having her eat just two dishes for dinner.
To be frank, this was not two dishes at all. It should have been six.
So, all things considered, she didn’t really perceive it as a punishment. She just found it rather dull.
She rested against the window, her chin propped on her hand, gazing outside,
The sky had darkened, with only scattered lights that beautifully mirrored the night sky.
As she pushed the window open, she was surprised to discover fireworks outside. One after another,
splendid fireworks burst into bloom in the night sky.
“It’s incredibly beautiful, Olivia eximed, gripping the window frame with both arms, her gaze fixed on
the captivating sky.
Once the fireworks concluded, another dance troupe graced the courtyard. A cluster of young dancers
adorned in exquisite costumes swayed beneath the night sky.
Following the dance performance, more individuals arrived to sing. Song aher song, the melodies were
exceedingly pleasing to the ears.
Olivia located a plush cushion and set it on the windowsill. She took a seat, leaning against the wall,
and enjoyed the dances: and songs unfolding outside. She was already in a state of deep rxation
and happiness.
Indeed, it was truly wonderful and blissful.
Unintentionally, Olivia had drifted into slumber by the window.
In a hazy state, it appeared as though a tall and slender figure had approached. He gently lifted her
andid her on the bed. tucking her in with care.
Olivia wrestled with drowsiness, realizing she hadn’t freshened up yet. She couldn’t just fall asleep!
Regrettably, no matter how strenuously she fought to rouse herself, she remained in a deep slumber.
She was event embraced and gently patted.
Ultimately, Olivia sumbed to sleep beneath the soothing rhythm of the gentle tapping
