Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! - S01

Melphiera Marchalrayd, the daughter of a count, spends her time researching the culinary possibilities of monster meat, a peculiar pursuit started by her late mother. By teaching the people of the Marchalrayd lands to prepare these exotic ingredients, Melphiera hopes to help stave off famine. Unfortunately, her unusual tastes and intimate knowledge of monsters have left her socially isolated: few nobles willingly interact with her, and they disdainfully call her the "Voracious Villainess." When a monster attack breaks out at a royal banquet, where Melphiera has been sent to find a husband, Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, the younger brother of the crown prince, leaps to her aid. Because of his terrifying skill at slaying monsters, Aristide has earned the title "Blood-Man Duke." Charmed by Melphiera's fearlessness and intriguing culinary prowess, Aristide soon declares his intent to propose. Together, Melphiera and Aristide, high society's most eccentric couple, strive to see beyond cruel rumors and encourage each other's fascination with monsters and the art of preparing them.
