'The King just held a grand banquet today, and Princess Ashiru went too. Maybe this person was some dignitary she met at the feast. But Princess Ashiru is just too naive. She might have been tricked by him.'
"Aunt Norma, his name is Liu Zhenhan. I met him at the banquet. He hadn't had breakfast, so he came here to get a bite to eat." Ashiru came out of the room and quickly explained, straining to drag a heavy stone stove.
This stove was a staple in every commoner household in Debei, made of fired clay on the inside and covered with a thin layer of iron.
It wasn't very heavy for an adult, but for a malnourished little girl, it was far too much.
"That's right, that's exactly what happened." Levi smiled faintly and, with a casual nudge of his foot, slid the stove into place.
Ashiru thanked him.
