The decor was not like anything the Prince-Imperial had ever seen. It was primitive and sanguine in its aesthetics, with carcasses of animals everywhere mashed in a perverse mix of their parts.

The Prince-Imperial was used to extravagant and outlandish foods decorated in splendour. However, this plate was plain. Just a pork steak, fries and some simple condiments? There has to be more to it than this...yes, the Stoinians were not as flamboyant as the Ryccians, but their most elite foodstuffs could not possibly be this pedestrian. Or are they truly so?
"Pardon the interruption, waiter, but are you certain
this is the most expensive dish in this establishment?"
Perhaps he may have caused offense, but he was determined to get his money's worth. He kept reading the menu, but he still did not believe it. How peculiar...
