Emmelyn's face was beaming when she saw the fat rabbit. Subconsciously, she licked her lips in anticipation. Yes, she liked rabbit meat and she was happy that Mars remembered this about her.
"Food will be ready soon," Mars informed her. "Do you want to freshen up?"
"Yes, thank you," Emmelyn replied.
She got up and washed her face in the lake. The water felt so cold since it was still very early in spring. However, it was really refreshing. Soon, she had become alert and fresh.
The prince and his men caught four deers and one rabbit. It was enough to feed 104 people in their group. Some people were assigned to prepare the meat and the others got ready to roast them.
In one hour, they were all sitting surrounding bonfires with roasted meat on their sticks. They all enjoyed lunch with a warm chat around the fires. Everyone was in high spirits.
"This meat is delicious," Emmelyn whispered as she devoured the rabbit meat prepared for her.
