Silva lazily bowed again before wheeling in some food.

Lo turned and looked at the grub as Maribelle remained quiet.

“Uh...yes. Thank you Silva.” Maribelle said softly. She turned and grabbed the tray and put it on the barren table. Maribelle took the tray and opened it. A steaming cooked turkey laid there. Lo opened her eyes wide.

“Woah.” She stammered as she licked her lips. Maribelle slowly began to cut pieces out of the turkey slowly and solemnly.

“That...looks good.” lo whispered to herself.

Maribelle nodded softly.

“Enjoy it. For it will be your last then.” Maribelle sighed. Lo went pale and looked up.

“That...That was a threat right?” Lo said taken aback. Maribelle shrugged. Lo awkwardly watched her keep cutting the turkey.

“No, hands down, that was clearly a threat.” Lo repeated.

“Relax we’re not going to kill you.” Maribelle sighed as she started putting pieces on separate plates.

“Uh...You sure…!? I mean that threat you made seems to beg otherwise…!”

Lo stammered. Maribelle sighed.

“I meant it as the fact you’ll be leaving the castle after this. If you truly can’t help us, and don’t even want to remain...Then I'll be decent and let you leave...even if it dooms us..” Maribelle sighed. She passed the plate to Lo.

“Don’t guilt trip me.” Lo grunted. Maribelle nodded and passed a fork. Silva watched awkwardly as Lo stabbed a piece of Turkey and placed it in her mouth. She blushed and her eyes seemed to sparkle.

“It’s….It’s so good…!” Lo yelled out loud. Maribelle hid a smirk.

Lo within a few minutes, finished off her plate. She burped and passed the plate to Maribelle.

“More!” she asked. Mariblle politely dabbed her mouth with a cloth.

“Sadly. No. see, you can’t have more...Unless you decide to stay.” Maribelle said. Lo’s face took on a mad hue.

“Oh come o-”

“You wish to leave? Then you will have to, knowing you will never have food like this ever again. If you decide to stay here of your own free will, my guilt will be cleared, and you can reap delicious meals as such. The decision to stay, unlike last time, is yours.” Maribelle offered.

Lo rose her hand to fight back but saw Maribelle slowly raise a piece of turkey near her mouth. Lo licked her lips, and drooled a bit.

“No...No I uh...Don’t want to...stay.” She said mesmerized. Maribelle slowly ate the piece in front of Lo.

“Is that so. Oh well...Silva want some of this turkey? It will go to waste otherwise.” Maribelle yawned. Lo went wide eyed.

“WHAT!?” She yelled. Silva gave a evil smirk.

“Eh...I guess so.” She said. Marieblle nodded and passed the entire turkey to Silva. Lo went pale.

“FINE!!!” She yelled. Maribelle rose an eyebrow.

“Oh? Have you reconsidered?” Maribelle chuckled. Lo crossed her arms and glared before nodding
