Chapter 504

Seeing the scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a variety of pastries, Elysia was even more shocked, "Is the food in jail always this good?"

"This isn't a prison, dummy!" Tarquin sneered, glancing at the thermos she brought, "Did you bring me breakfast?"

"Yeah, I thought you'd have nothing to eat, or just stale bread and pickles. Had I known you eat like a king, I wouldn't have bothered."

"Open it. Let's see what you've got."

Elysia mumbled, "It's nothing fancy like yours, don't bother."

Seeing him not move, Elysia thought he was disgusted and mumbled again, "I told you it's nothing fancy. If you don't want it, fine by me."

She made a move to pack it up, but Tarquin slapped her hand away.
