As a result of options of the stock, he did not even must warmth it earlier than serving. The cooked meals seemed precisely the identical. As if it was simply made. It did not change one bit after being saved contained in the stock.

Sometimes, he felt just like the beast understood what the folks have been saying. So, he was not afraid to method the magical beast.

“Little bead, right here take it.” Alex raised the meat in direction of the magical beast.

It curiously checked out Alex earlier than blinking its beady eyes and bringing its beak all the way down to seize the meat.

“Ah… That. He was a hatchling that I taken care of. After that, he turned my companion.”

“Looks as if the most effective time to tame a magical beast is throughout its infancy.” Alex probed to know extra about taming.

“Sure, to construct long-lasting belief between the tamer and the magical beast, it’s higher to tame them whereas they’re younger. Would you wish to be a tamer, Sir Meru.”

“No, I used to be simply asking as a result of I used to be curious.” After saying that, Alex moved away from Little bead and walked in direction of the dinner desk. The poor Little bead who did not know what Alex was pondering was dejected to see him go away.

Fortunately, Little bead soup was not made.

“Our meals is prepared, let’s eat it whereas it is heat,” Kalina stated whereas motioning for Alex and Arav to sit down down.

‘I made it. I do know it is prepared. Who’re you to ask me to eat?’ That’s what Alex wished to say. However he was used to it now. He did not hassle saying something.
