At present, the Saint had become the adopted daughter of a marquess house, but her origins lay in a farming village.

Before enrolling in the academy, the Saint also had experience accompanying military campaigns.

Of course, it was not as if she had lived the life of an ordinary foot soldier.

Even so, she had experienced the real thing, completely different from students playing at soldiering.

In other words, for the Saint, camping training was nothing more than something that made her think, How nostalgic.

In fact, while the Crown Prince and his entourage struggled, the Saint remained completely at ease.

Picking flowers in the shade of trees was second nature to her.

Along the road to Migno Lake, she steadily gathered edible items while walking.

Even after reaching the lake, she used magic to catch fish.

She did not forget to sneer inwardly at the Crown Prince and the others, thinking, These people are useless.

At the same time, she kept a smile pasted on her face.

All of it was to make the Crown Prince fall for her.

Future queen and Saint.

The Saint had drawn a perfect vision of the future in her mind.

Then dusk arrived.

The Saint took the initiative in preparing outdoor food.

The Crown Prince and his entourage had been reduced to little more than decorative ornaments, merely watching.

At that moment, a fragrance worthy of a high class restaurant drifted toward the Saint and her group.

Needless to say, the source of it was Li.

The rich, fragrant scent of butter and the savory aroma of grilling herbs were almost violent in their intensity.

On top of that, an oddly sweet smell wafted through the air.

“H-hey, what is that?”

From a short distance away, the Saint caught sight of Li’s base.

To her eyes, it looked no different from a lodge at a resort.

“That is Li… Saint, I have just remembered something I must attend to.”

Saying that, the Crown Prince rose to his feet.

His entourage followed after him.

“If you go over there, I won’t give you any food.”

At the Saint’s words, the Crown Prince and the others’ faces stiffened.

Even so, the Saint herself could not ignore that smell.

“I’ll just go take a look.”

She hesitated for a moment.

But the Saint lost to her curiosity.

The Crown Prince and the others looked at her with eyes like abandoned dogs.

“The food is already prepared, so you can just eat it, right? I’ll be right back.”

What the Saint had prepared was camp food.

She had put wild plants and salted meat into a pot and simmered them.

This time, it also included small lake fish she herself had caught.

Seasoned only by the saltiness that came from the salted meat and to be honest, it did not look very appealing.

Still, as camp food, it was perfectly adequate.

At worst, people would just gnaw on salted meat and hard baked bread.

Leaving the Crown Prince and the others behind, the Saint headed toward Li’s base.

The closer she got, the stronger the smell became.

As she inhaled it, her stomach let out a resounding growl.

And then the Saint saw it.

A feast being held at Li’s base, one that rivaled even a tea party.

Around a large bonfire like a campfire, the noble daughters were chatting happily.

The main dish was rainbow trout meunière.

There was a salad made from perishable leafy vegetables and even soft, fluffy bread.

The noble daughters ate with smiles on their faces and drank fruit infused water.

And to top it all off, there was the chocolate fondue Li had made.

That had been the source of the sweet smell.

There was not even a fragment of the grimness one would expect from camping training.

Upon seeing Li’s dining table, the Saint collapsed to her knees without thinking.
