Pass the Monster Meat, Milady!

Melphiera Marchalrayd, the daughter of a count, spends her days studying how to cook monster meat-a strange passion passed down from her late mother. By sharing her knowledge with the people of Marchalrayd, she hopes to help prevent famine. But her unusual interests and deep understanding of monsters have left her isolated; most nobles avoid her, scornfully dubbing her the "Voracious Villainess." During a royal banquet-where Melphiera has been sent in search of a husband-a monster attack breaks out. Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, the crown prince's younger brother, rushes to her defense. Known as the "Blood-Man Duke" for his fearsome monster-slaying abilities, Aristide is intrigued by Melphiera's bravery and her unusual culinary skills. Before long, he announces his intention to marry her. Now, as high society's most unconventional pair, Melphiera and Aristide must navigate the harsh judgments of others while embracing their shared fascination with monsters-and the art of cooking them.
