Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Manhua

As the moon cast its silvery light over the castle grounds, Melphiera found herself standing before the imposing gates of the Blood-Mad Duke's domain. The air was thick with anticipation as she took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy doors, her heart beating wildly in her chest. Inside, the Duke awaited her, his dark eyes glistening in the dim torchlight. "Welcome, Milady," he greeted in a voice as smooth as velvet. Melphiera felt a shiver run down her spine, a mixture of excitement and trepidation swirling within her. The table was set with a lavish spread of dishes, each more exotic than the last. Monster meat in all its glory adorned the platters, its scent tantalizing her senses. The Duke watched intently as she took her first bite, his expression unreadable. To her surprise, the Duke himself partook in the feast, savoring the flavors with a hunger that matched her own. As the night wore on, laughter filled the hall, their conversation flowing effortlessly between them. Melphiera discovered a side of the Duke she had never seen - a man of depth and complexity, a man she was inexplicably drawn to. As the clock struck midnight, casting a spell of enchantment over the courtyard, the Duke extended his hand to her. "Dance with me, Milady," he murmured, his eyes softening with a rare vulnerability. And in that moment, as they swayed to the music under the twinkling stars, Melphiera knew that this night was only the beginning of a journey that would change her life forever. Love, she realized, was not bound by societal expectations or conventions. It was found in the most unexpected of places, in the most unlikely of hearts. And as she looked into the Duke's eyes, she knew that she had found her equal, her partner in adventure, her companion in the realm of both love and monster meat.
