Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!

Melphiera Marchalrayd, a count’s daughter, pours her days into an unusual field of study: turning monster meat into viable cuisine, a pursuit inspired by her late mother. By sharing these methods with the people of the Marchalrayd domain, she aims to help prevent famine. Yet her rare palate and detailed knowledge of monsters have made her an outsider among the nobility, who dismiss her as the “Voracious Villainess.”

At a royal banquet where she’s been pressured to secure a match, a monster attack throws everything into chaos—until Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, the crown prince’s younger brother, steps in. Feared for his prowess in battle and known as the “Blood-Man Duke,” Aristide is drawn to Melphiera’s composure and her distinctive culinary expertise, and soon announces his intention to marry her.

As rumors swirl, the pair navigate high society’s scrutiny while supporting one another’s shared fascination with monsters—and the surprising possibilities they bring to the table.
