Chapter 48: Ch 48: Privileges

Grumble! 

Within the House of Khaleji's kitchen, under the watchful eye of the renowned magic chef, Lorenzo Deangeli, Valerius's stomach protested with a rumble louder than thunder. This time it grumbled louder than when he was in his room, and it was an awkward admission of his hunger that left him embarrassed, but it also served as a clear signal to Lorenzo DeAngeli that he was starving and needed to be served food.

Lorenzo looked at Valerius with a knowing smile and said, "Seems like you're really hungry, Young Master Valerius. I'll prepare a generous meal for you. It will be ready shortly. Please wait in the dining room, and the meal will be delivered to you there."

"Please ensure it is rich in protein," Valerius requested. 

"I will," Lorenzo said.

After his confirmation, Valerius went and sat around the large dining table in the dining room of the mansion, awash in anticipation.
