☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well, that's the truth.
It wasn't Sanex who answered Kline, but one of the customers, who had five dango sticks in his hands.

- Our cuisine is the best in the world, - he explained, stuffing all 10 sticks into his mouth. - Not like those Barbarians.
- Actually, these treats originated on the islands... - Kline's companion dared to object to the man.
- Who cares where they originated! We sell them, right? We sell them! And in some Kree, - burping, the fat man paused for a moment to catch his breath, - in some Kree'dar, you won't find anything like that.

—In my opinion, the Barbarians are... —remembering the Imperial woman sitting next to him, the knight keeps his thought to himself. —With all due respect to my opinion about the establishments of Margel, let it be known to you that the national cuisine of Kree'dar is one of the gems of this country, which you will not find now, nor even in the best of times. And do you know why? Because only livestock grazing in the clean mountain air on local ecological grass and fruits grown far from civilization's chemicals can produce dishes that truly fill the body and mind with energy. Kree'dar meat, vegetables, soups, treats, and wines are not for catering chains, where everything is measured by cooking speed and the number of customers. In each dish, - unique in its own way, - a piece of sincere soul and home comfort is invested, which cannot be replaced or repeated, even if you are the emperor of mankind or a chef with a skill level of one hundred. So, it's not Kree'dar that is missing out on something, but you in the Empire have unfortunately missed out on a lot.
