Command Center – Gaze City

Inside the command center of Gaze City, Garius sat at the main table, reviewing the latest battle reports. Beside him, Francesca sipped her tea gracefully.

Across from her, Eridith—was devouring meat like a child. Her plate was already stacked with bones, yet she continued tearing into another piece of roasted meat, her sharp teeth making quick work of it.

Francesca sighed softly, watching the scene unfold. Then—she smiled. "Eridith…"

Eridith paused mid-bite, looking up with wide, innocent eyes. "Hmm?"

Francesca tilted her head slightly, her warm smile unchanged. "You are a lady. Garius's wife now. You shouldn't act like a child anymore."

Eridith froze, her cheeks puffed out with food, as if she had just been unfairly scolded. "But…!" she mumbled, still chewing.

Francesca's eyes narrowed slightly. "No but! Act properly."
