Seeking a way to divert Inna's attention, Raghnall hurriedly used a magic spell to grab the food in the middle of the table. Without asking Inna, he began loading her plate with vegetables and his with meat.

Breaking her heavy stare, Inna raised an eyebrow at the salad he suddenly placed on her plate.

"I don't like vegetables."

She whined childishly as she glared at him.

Raghnall widened his eyes in surprise.

"Why don't you like them? Weren't you trained to eat them from a young age?"

What.

"What do you mean 'trained'?"

Raghnall looked at Inna strangely.

"Didn't they feed you this ever since you were young?"

"Yes, but I never ate it. I just threw it to the ground. That's how much I hate them."

"Why? Girls are supposed to always eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and lean."

Raghnall looked at Inna like it was an obvious thing.

"Wh-WHY?! I mean, don't get me wrong but having eaten fast food, I can speak for all the women out there that we would be more than happy with being unhealthy once in a while."

Hearing this, Raghnall grew more confused.

"Fast food? Unhealthy? No, no, no, girls are expected to always be healthy. After all, they're supposed to give birth to children. An unhealthy lady wouldn't find a great man to marry."

Raghnall said it like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Meanwhile, Inna was dumbstruck.

Oh my f.u.c.king G.o.d. What the f.u.c.k is this world.

Discrimination because of strict social hierarchy, permitted bullying, and now, s.e.xism…

This is just like Earth but a hundred times worse.

"And let me guess, the man should be the head of the household? He should be the one earning the money? And the girls should stay in the house, make a sandwich in the kitchen, and take care of children?"

Raghnall nodded enthusiastically and he looked at her as if he's proud of the fact that she finally learned something in her empty head.

At the same time, Inna was at a loss of what to say.

So, this world is a strict patriarchal society?

Ugh... no wonder…

Inna eyed the thick slab of steak in front of Raghnall. It looked so juicy and appetizing that she can't help but drool.

Then, before Raghnall can slice through his steak, Inna bit into it like a dog.

"Woman! What are you doing?!"

Inna smiled while biting the steak and letting it down on her salad.

"Heh, I already got my saliva on it so it's mine. Thanks for the steak."

She smiled, the meat juices from biting the steak was messily dripping around her mouth making her look like a sloppy eater. She wiped her mouth using the table napkin near her plate but not before

Raghnall was mortified when he saw what happened.

He couldn't grab the steak back and eat it since she already bit into it. He actually chose the biggest cut out of all the steaks on the table.

And to think, he lost it just like that.

He glared at her victorious smile with sadness and hate in his eyes.

And, begrudgingly, he casted another spell in search for another good steak.

"You know, you'll never find a decent man with the way you're acting."

He said gloomily as he eyed Inna eating her stolen steak that was way bigger than his new one.

"I'm not planning to find a man anyway. And I most definitely am not planning to have children. So, I'll keep being unhealthy, thank you very much!"

Raghnall sighed after hearing her resolute tone.

"You're just like those female adventurers in the outskirts of towns. Living life constantly fighting and alone."

"Do they get to eat meat?"

"Yes."

"Then, I'll gladly be those female adventurers."

Raghnall nearly smacked his face with his palm.

"They get to eat meat but they rarely meet someone who are willing to marry them."

He tried to emphasize the 'bad' part to her but she just looked at him straight in the eyes.

"I'm good as long as there's meat. Meat before Marriage."

Inna proudly said as she stuffed her face with the meat. She let out a groan as the flavor exploded inside her mouth.

Oh G.o.d, it's so f.u.c.king good.

To think that women weren't allowed to eat meat this good.

She will never understand their society's logic.

Seeing Inna eating steak with no table manners nor etiquette, Raghnall can't help but laugh inside.

She was definitely the strangest person he ever met in all his life.

She speaks a funny language. Her reactions are fresh and unexpected. And she's always unpredictable!

She never cares what people may think of her and she speaks her mind. She doesn't abide by the society's unspoken rules and their customs. She doesn't even act like a proper lady. She's like a released arrow. Straightforward and strong.

Yet, somehow, it feels comforting to be with her. And for some reason, despite knowing each other in just a few hours, he felt like she would never ever betray him. Nor will she deceive him. And that's coming from the fact that his status is one of the most famous in the country so there are multiple people looking to curry favor. They used multiple traps, one after another, as they deceived and betrayed his trust in order to fulfill their selfish desires.

And after being betrayed and backstabbed by multiple people in his life, he learned to be careful of people, to read them fully before approaching them. And he was so used in placing his guard up around people, even to his own family.

But after talking for mere hours, he noticed that he unconsciously lets his guard down around her.

He felt safe and secure in her presence. He felt that he didn't need to pretend to be kind, nor did he have a need to put on acts about liking the person's company. Instead, doing those to her just felt natural to him. And he was actually shocked when he became aware of it.

He didn't know why, but to think that he can trust her so naturally, it actually makes him scared.
