Before I knew it, I had gained a follower. Even after we had returned back to the village, Luda insisted that I was her new ‘master’. I wasn’t sure what I did to make her think that, but it no longer mattered. Since we couldn’t enter the village with a naked young girl clinging to
“Luda! What the hell are you doing here!?” I screamed out in surprise. My sudden yell did not seem to deter the dragon’s attention, as it homed onto the child holding its eggs. I was relieved that I had avoided certain death, but there was no way I could let him fall into danger instead.

I gracefully set each dish in front of the three judges, before hiding my hands behind my back. I had barely managed to restrain my nerves before they trembled from tense anticipation. Eyeing the dishes for a moment, the three men collectively looked at me with a blank stare, as if they had no idea
The day of the summons. Eryn and I walked through the front gate of the castle into the courtyard. In my hand was a box containing what I would need for the cooking exam. Although the note had mentioned that everything that I needed would be provided through the royal kitchen, my secret ingredient required
