The next morning, Lyra noticed a clear difference in the food she was served compared to the previous day.
Although the bread still had a dark, almost black color and was roughly processed, it no longer had the dry leaf taste when eaten, and there were no longer small stones that could damage her teeth, allowing her to chew with a bit more confidence.
In addition to bread and water, her breakfast today also included a vegetable soup that wasn't there before.
Lyra took a couple of sips and identified mushrooms and onions in it, seasoned with salt and a few other spices.
Compared to the bread, the soup could be considered quite delicious.
It was probably Princess Astrid who had given specific instructions... otherwise, the prison staff had no reason to improve her meals...
