Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 285
285 – Monia is Alive (1)
The kingdom of Biend is characterized by agricultural and marine products from all over the country, which are as diverse as its vast land, and special products that make use of the characteristics of each region.
For example, in the northern land where the snow never melts, there is a special product called ice wine, a dessert made with concentrated fruit juice in a cold environment.
Although Monia had no chance to see seafood except when she went to a coastal city because of the taste of the Duke who doesn’t like fish very much, a variety of dishes including such seafood are cooked in various ways in various places.
The reason why he couldn’t eat seafood because he hated fish was because the duke said he lived in the same water as fish and hated all other seafood.
‘It’s probably a dish made with ingredients available in the eastern region.’
As you can see, the eastern part of the kingdom of Biend has vast grasslands. There are many creatures that live in the grasslands and predators that hunt those creatures, but the most delicious creature in this meadow is, of course, a rabbit.
Since the cold wind from the north blows to the west, all the rabbits of the Beend Kingdom, who live in the wide eastern grasslands, which are always warm without the cold of winter, have all gained weight, unlike the sleek and sharp-looking rabbits starting from the wandering island. It is also popular as a pet because it is round and chubby, and it is cute because it shows slow and dull behavior that is hard to believe for a rabbit.
When a fat rabbit is marinated in alcohol, filled with fruits and spices, and slowly steamed, it becomes tender and soft, and at the same time, the juices condensed with the various tastes, flavors and aromas of alcohol and spices flow out, creating a heavenly taste. I can feel it.
Of course, it is a high-difficulty dish that must be prepared very meticulously, including not only cooking with a very high-difficulty cooker, but also preparation of ingredients and base preparation.
And now, that same dish was placed plate by plate in front of the Chester family.
“Chester, is this your first time eating it?”
Monia asked in a small whisper, and Chester nodded. I saw a lot of views. However, I always stood behind Monia’s chair and just watched the food on her table.
It was the first time I had eaten it myself, as Monia said. However, the annoyance was greater than the anticipation towards the food I was trying for the first time.
‘It’s annoying. This is the number one dish.’
The Jaffy Kingdom seems to have a longer course than the Been Kingdom. At the time when the Be-End Kingdom should have already enjoyed the main meal and moved on to the next, the Zappy Kingdom was barely serving its main dish.
The annoyance of having to eat course meals outdoors and the fact that the meal time had already easily exceeded an hour added to Chester’s annoyance.
Chester preferred a simple meal, stuffed with bread and eating it at once.

Chester used the forks and knives handed out by the servants to cut off part of the rabbit’s hind legs. He received etiquette education as a butler and had lived as a butler for more than half of his life, so his movements were not disturbed.
Senna put the rabbit in her mouth as Monia and Chester showed her. In addition, although Sena is also from another continent, there was little awkwardness in her movements because she was trained in manners as a knight.
‘Oh.’
The moment she put the rabbit meat in her mouth, Senna opened her eyes wide in surprise.
It was hard to believe that it was a meat dish, so it was like drinking a hot and thick stew.
The savory taste that covers the entire tongue is mixed with oil, so it does not disappear easily and lingers deeply for a long time. It helped me get rid of it and eat clean.
‘It’s delicious.’
The sea king beef that Senna enjoyed in Jaim Kingdom was also a very good dish, but the ingredients themselves were very good.
It’s difficult to handle properly, but if you handle it properly, it’s a flavor bomb that explodes with bottomless flavor and umami.
However, it was really surprising that he made such a delicious and luxurious dish with just a rabbit.
Of course, the rabbit is a very plump and greasy kind, but in this case, if cooked incorrectly, it becomes greasy, burdensome, and heavy.
However, this rabbit meat seemed to be able to eat any amount because it did not have the burden of a greasy dish.
‘Ah, this part tastes different again? Each part is cooked differently. Yeah, is the meat a bit tough on this part? I deliberately made it moderately soft so that I could chew it a little longer. The more you chew, the stronger the spice flavor. Miraculous.’
Some places emphasize the taste using spices and turn the meat into a supporting role, and some places reduce spices to bring out the taste of the ingredients themselves. Even though it was one dish, it was fun to enjoy various flavors.
“Awesome.”
“We prepared the best chef.”
“Yes. It sounds like you’ve never camped before, but it’s amazing how you managed to cook it this far in an unfamiliar environment and conditions.”
While Senna fell in love with the rabbit dish and enjoyed the taste, Monia praised the chef.
“This is delicious!”
And Urgo, admiring the cooking, did not use a fork or knife, tore off a whole rabbit leg and put it in his mouth.
The expression of the knights, servants, and maids who were watching the savage appearance was not good, but none of the Chester family cared.
It’s clear that Rex will also consider her pet, so Monia deliberately asked her to prepare the dish, and thanks to this, Rex could also taste the rabbit dish.
Both of them seemed to like it and gobbled up the rabbit dish, and Rex ate all the bones.
“Monia, what is the name of this dish?”
“Didn’t you hear the explanation earlier?”
“I heard about it, but the food was so delicious that I forgot about it.”
When Sena laughed as if she was embarrassed, Monia also smiled and taught her the name of the dish.
Monia enjoyed her meal with a good laugh when her friends all liked her hometown cuisine.
‘I looked at the chef’s recipe a while ago, shall we try the same when we return to the island later? Rabbits on the island have less fat than rabbits here… Yes! You can use the pigs raised by the people at the top. Are you still growing? Oh, and the pork was really good too. I want to eat it after a long time.’
Shima kept talking about this and that, but Monia still didn’t listen.
* * *
The owner of Shima, who started with Billium and had a long name of about 16 letters, settled down in the capital and waited for Monia and his party in the newly saved mansion.
Seeing the mansion’s main gate open and the carriage slowly moving through the extensive garden, Billium paused the drawing he was drawing.
What William was drawing was a portrait of Monia. She recalled the image of Monia in his memory, so she was drawing.
However, as it has been so far, the work in front of you will probably be torn and burned as well.
I want to capture the beauty as it is, but I have failed every time so far.
“It is difficult, difficult.”
After covering the painting with a cloth, William strolled through the halls of the mansion decorated with art he had made himself.
When his own land was being trampled by the duke’s army, he eagerly moved his works to the capital, preparing to flee. Thanks to his long years and passion, the artworks did not disappear and remained like this, and he was decorating a new mansion in the capital.
There were jewelry paintings created by smashing beautiful jewels and scattering and attaching fragments, and there were contradictory paintings expressing the horrors and glory of battlefields drawn from the blood of brave warriors, There was also a stone statue depicting the god of winter, carved from a rock taken out from under the ground or ice that had been frozen for 10,000 years.
Billium liked the majestic scenery of nature, he also liked a man with the power of a great hero that was hard to believe that he was the same human being, and he also liked a beautiful human like Monia.
A person with the temperament of an artist more than any of the nobility of Zafi Kingdom. He is the most trusted aristocrat in the royal palace because he likes everything except art and handles it in a businesslike way. That was William.
Tracking down the whereabouts of a noble who had an accident while on the Tongdan continent would not have been done in the kingdom if it hadn’t been for Billium.
Of course, Billium used Shima to contact Rorowan in order to collect rare resources from the Tongdan Continent and use them for a new art.
But now, for Billyam, the Tongdan Continent job could be anything.
The door of the mansion opens, and guests enter the mansion.
“Welcome. Shima. You’ve done a great job.”
“No, Master!”
After going to a faraway foreign land and praising the first agent on the shoulder for his hard work, Billium welcomed his guest.
“It’s been a while. I heard the report. From now on, I will live only as Monia. So, let me greet you. My name is Monia and Billium. I hope to go along well.”
“Yes. Please take care of me too.”
Billium greeted Monia by kissing the back of her hand and smiled broadly at Monia, who seemed to be more beautiful than before. Then, she saw Chester next to Monia.
And he was amazed.
It wasn’t just Chester. Not only Urgo, who came in with him, but also Rowan, who was reported by Shima, and Rex, who was talking to Sena at the back.
There were a lot of really interesting materials. However, the most interesting thing was Monia, whom she met in real life after a long time, and Chester, who received a report that she and Monia looked like a lover.
“Hmm. If you don’t mind, would you mind if I draw a portrait of you two?”
“Oh, no, Master! Other things first…… ! And that’s rude! First of all, give our guests a break!”
Shima panicked and said that she had to deal with other things first, but Billium didn’t listen and took Chester and Monia to the studio.
