Lucian didn't say anything about their lack of manners or their almost animalistic way of eating.
He understood that they had been starving for a long time, so he simply gave them enough time to settle themselves.
But then… his gaze drifted towards a woman sitting in the corner.
Unlike the others, she hadn't eaten the bread he had given her. Instead, she simply stared at it, her eyes fixed on the food with unmistakable hunger.
And yet, she didn't touch it.
Seeing this, Lucian frowned in confusion before walking towards her.
Once he reached her, he knelt slightly and looked at her.
"What happened…?"
The woman's body trembled as she finally came out of her daze.
Her gaze snapped towards him, and her eyes widened as she realised his face was right in front of her.
Crimson eyes and skin so pale that it almost looked white, along with sharp features.
"Why aren't you eating? Are you not hungry…?" Lucian asked gently, noticing the faint flicker of fear in her eyes.
"..."
